I agree jrb, that was a great observation by Bingo. I also love how Bingo labeled the look "Angelino"

I'm with Bingo. I like the Dia De Los Muertos motif on her jacket. The very epitome Los Angeles cultural diversity.

LOL kristenester! She would be the perfect Anti-smoking poster girl! Elise, I love the "balloonful of junk" Zach, yes it appears to be a tie-dye patch work number, I haven't seen one of these before, pretty original. It kind of reminds me of those cheap purses made from scraps of bad leather. Thanks db ;) She might want to invest in some of those panties that give your ass a little lift, besides that it all works. I wish I could find her again to tell her how many people like her look, she would take a hit off her cig and smile!

She did have a key around her neck on a cord that read "I heart USA" Maybe the pass was a press pass from Fashion Week!

She does look like a he but I truly believe it's a she. I talked to her for about 5 minutes before and during this shoot. I think years of I don't know what, have taken a toll on her. She was clean and had tons of style! She walked with pride and did not seem to care that her hair was a little messy and some of her fingernails were missing. Don't you wish you could say F*CK IT and walk around like this! I don't think this style comes from a lack of funds, it's just her style. I give her 10 thumbs up and a wink for her tremendous look!

A man with an adams apple-ectomy? Hey don't bash her. She's clean and the skull is a El Día de los Muertos inspired pink number. Whatever the style it's hers and it's Angelino.

An entirely distinct and individual style. Others demean her. I celebrate her vibrant daring.

"Anything left out?" I was going to say; Crack pipe and all other earthly posessions inside oversized hand bag, but Elise beat me to it with the ballon full of heroin. ('couse she might have both)

Anything left out? Yeah - a gnarly 80s blouse, some kind of laminate, a surprisingly clean hobo bag and a balloonful of junk.

Is that tie-dye mixed with 1980's style cubes on her shirt?
