I'd say Tom Waits is the reason I stopped listening to pop as a tween. I heard one of his songs and although I didn't really get into his music till later, I really liked what I heard and realized there was more out there than boy bands. No offense, Backstreet Boys and 98 degrees. Alice is one of my favorites of his. I often find my self listening to his music when its raining. And when I light a cigarette and climb onto my window sill, the cliche is complete.
I would totally buy these for my brother if I thought he'd wear them. Not that I don't appreciate his style. I do. But he will never wear that hat I know would look incredible and he will never wear these shoes.
Men, being fashion conscious doesn't make you feminine (well depending on your taste, I suppose) it generally just makes you attractive. Hint? Also, does anyone know who this model is? The one in two pictures without the shades and hat? Just for stalking purposes.
