Tom, on reflection I wasn't commenting on the way you might make a u-turn, but the way I might make a u-turn. My philosophy is that a good attention getting u-turn involves squealing tires, smoke, and the smell of burning rubber, with a bit of fish-tailing thrown in for good measure.

Nah. Doesn't do it for me. Looks like their fashion sense didn't advance passed jr. high. Girls just wanna have fu-un, I guess. Still trying to get my head around the expression "hot mess," but these might be giving me insight.

There you go Tom. And because you are doing auto maneuvers for pictures I don't have to...tempting as it is. I'd still slow down though.

BingoDingo, the reason I made a u-turn and got out of the car was to get photos for STYLEist. I can't be shy, I wouldn't be able to capture people on the street.

If you visit the site you'll see a clip of some of the most dangerous perverse behavior ever...frying shrimp in the (near) nude. Back on topic. I like the look too. Not that I'd make a screaming u-turn, dash from the car, deal out of it. I might drive by a bit slower though.

Ali they did look good, I'm sure you look just as hot when you want to! G Pro i will look for some stylish homeless people for you. i think you either have style or you don't, it's pretty hard to buy style. style is a look and also a state of mind. people who wear very expensive clothes don't always look stylish, sometimes they look like sad clowns. jrb let's hope this look doesn't ever go away, it's always fun to see, especially when done well. Elise you ALWAYS make me giggle! i was calm about it i didn't do a screaching u-turn and i approached them with respect. jrb, i would have watched him too. it's fun to watch people admire themselves.

What cracked me up is that you stood there watching him admire himself in the window for hours. (I tease because I care).

"Now, being homeless and dressing yourself would take some creativity AND imagination." Some years ago there was a homeless dragster who was frequenting downtown for a while. I'm not sure if he was really gay or just liked wearing women's clothing. What cracked me up was how he'd stand in front of a mirror windowed building and admire himself for hours.

I would recommend not pulling over because they could probably beat the shit out of you. If I was walking around little Armenia and some stranger made a U-turn and jumped out of the car I'd probably mace them.

That punk chic look has never really gone away. Seems like there are always a few people around who will dress that way. I kind of like it.

I wouldnt pull over because for some in this town it should be a fashion statement, not a question. Now, being homeless and dressing yourself would take some creativity AND imagination.

I think those chicks look awesome. I wish I could pull that off.

christina, i don't blame you. this is just another segment of STYLEist on the streets in L.A. i'm not taking pics to influence fashion, i'm just here to show the styles that i see on the streets in our city.

actually, i don't really want to dress like a porn star.

now that the hair color is cleared up, let's talk style, clothes, etc ;) would you have pulled over if you saw these two walking down sunset blvd? i made a u-turn and jumped out of my car to meet them!

Mandy is very blonde, her friends hair is more neopolatin.

Her friend is defined as pink-blonde. Okay, I lie, I changed it up for clarification ;)

Um, aren't they both blonde?
