One of my first impressions of Melbourne was its abundance of rock stars. Or, more accurately, its sidewalks full of men & women dressed and groomed as if they were rock stars. Think East Village, NYC. Around every corner. Takes a little getting used to -- especially tattooed grannies -- but has a spectator-sport charm. As the photo above shows, Melbourne's metrosexuals are living in a dream world:
Joel Roche (pictured) agrees: "The women's jeans seem to fit a lot better. They're a lot skinnier."Yo, dude. It ain't 1972 and you ain't Lou Reed. Hell, it ain't 2001 and you ain't in The Strokes, either. Therefore, IT'S FEMININE TO WEAR WOMEN'S CLOTHES. What you call a 'rock kind of look' is, in fact, a deluded rationalization for dressing like your girlfriend.
But the 26-year-old says he wouldn't describe his style as feminine.
"It's more of a rock kind of look. In fact, most people wouldn't even notice if I had girls' clothes on. And it works both ways. My girlfriend borrows my clothes all the time."
Posers are bad ... posers who squeeze into calf-hugging jeans and call it rock & roll are pathetic.

Someone forgets his own days of wearing Yankee blue nailpolish on his toes.
