Current stars wearing their lids

[BellyTank]

It's not that obvious actually, you need to know all the lyrics
to be sure, to be sure. (I'm not bragging, I'd thought 'HE' and just checked)
But thanks for reminding me of that one, it's a classic. :cheers1:

Most of thes Celebs don't look very good with or without a hat. I think their sense of style and fassion stink. I would never wear a cap backwards, or sideways. The only ones that look good are the girls. Most of the men look like freaks.

 

[Canadave]

...Most of the men look like freaks.

I think these guys look pretty good...

OK, Ted Danson's a bit iffy, but I like the casual vibe.

[Biltmore Bob]

I said most...

Yeah those guys look cool, Danson is iffy.

 

[jamespowers]

Danson looks like a used car salesman and the guy next to him looks like he has workers on the street---if you know what I mean.
The first guy can't even get his tie straight, the second looks like an undertaker and the third guy looks like something out of Saturday Night Fever.
Pretty good? Please! :kick:

Regards to all,

Thats kind of rough, J, don't you think? All I said is they were freaks.

Nope. I calls 'em as I sees 'em. I would never expect to see such human refuse running around from old Hollywood. They were always neat and proper looking for the camera. Their hair was combed, ties straight, hats properly put on and they were impeccably dressed. It is what was expected of them. This was all part of the Hollywood mystique.
The human offal that comes out of Hollywood never ceases to sicken me. The worst part of it is that our children are easily swayed by the popularity of these people and, at such an impressionable age, want to look like, act like and dress like these barbarians.
Old Hollywood might have been pigs in their private life but they, at least, kept up appearances for the public because they understood the influence they had on the culture. Today they deny being role models and even say they are not but they are whether they realize it or like it. Their roles and lives have fostered magazines where people read about their lives and reality TV follows them around slavishly.

[Biltmore Bob]

Amen

and amen Brother, you're a preachin to the choir!

 

[BellyTank]

So what to do?
-deprive your children of modern culture?
Their contemporary culture. Their friends' culture. A generations culture.

What to do?

???

[Biltmore Bob]

Yeah! Why not? That's what I'm doing, BT.

 

[BellyTank]

How do you do it?

B
T

 

[Biltmore Bob]

I limit TV, monitor their friends, buy their clothes, involve myself in their school, shelter and protect them. Ain't that what parents do? Surround them with God fearing folk.

 

[BellyTank]

...prepare them for the world they live in...

Some of "old Hollywood" may or may not have surpassed "today's Hollywood" in moral rectitude or "breeding" or "class" or whatever you care to call it, but what "old Hollywood" had that "today's Hollywood" doesn't have is powerful studio public relations departments who own their stars' images and likenesses and were therefore extremely careful with their reputations and appearances. Public image was a large part of the language of the contracts the stars had with their respective studios. An actor's contract could be terminated for not protecting the studios' "property."

I agree that golden era actors were more polished......and will that TL looks like a well dressed pimp, but his hat is my favorite of the bunch. It's because of the attitude he is giving that he looks low class.

I think the other guys good. I appreciate their effort to look classy in a culture that says the more you look like a bum the cooler you are.

 

[Biltmore Bob]

Or raise them to be shocked and repulsed by a culture enough to not want to emulate their peers.
