We spent a good number of years flying celebrities and the like around the country (and beyond).

Looking back – I’d have to say the hardest thing our crews ever had to do was manage a straight face when seeing how so many of them actually dressed.

In fact, we had even acquired a few letters from managers and publicists complaining that our crews “…acted in an unprofessional (or inappropriate) manner…” (Or something to that nature.)

Upon review of such matters, most all issues were found to be related to crew members expressions upon seeing such muddle.

We tried hard not to hold that against them. Unfortunately, there were yet to be staff training symposiums on “How not to laugh in someone’s face for thinking they’re a fashion statement. When in fact, they look a jumble of rags.”

When working on houses for the uber-rich, we had to practice a similar sort of tongue holding and eyeball non-rolling. Some of the ideas the lady of the house would come with and want a mockup made up for so she could get a feel for it . . . . .

One time, we estimated that the various mockups on one kitchen cost around $20K. But then, it was a $25 mil or so house.

I thought there used to be an honary code of posting pics displaying pleasant visual impressions.

I'm always amazed on how much trash can be incorporated with this society's role model personalities.

I'm afraid to say, that the Dollar has become largely a synonym for abuse and decadence.

Isn't it odd that this has ocurred at atime when the value of a dollar in the world seems to be in free fall?

Personally I think Fergie's looking pretty good as well as Posh...then again...I think Fergie will look good no matter what she is...or is not wearing.

You mean "Free Fall", like the World Trade Towers...?
