Not only am I an avid Rookie reader (more on this obsession soon) but I’m also obviously a long time lovin’ John Waters fan. They did a fun photo tour of his home earlier this month (see here). He talks a lot about fashion and has some really funny points on other subjects. His idea of how you can rebel today is my favorite answer EVER…oh John you ARE perfect! GO READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW AT ROOKIE!
“Usually irony is for the wealthy. It’s snobbism, in a way, because you’re saying something is good because it’s bad.”
“…if you buy the ugliest sweater and it’s funny, I think that’s fine. You still look hot in it. You don’t wear it to look ugly. You wear it because you’re so hot an ugly sweater can’t make you look bad, and that’s a great look.”
“You think, Oh, I would never wear that to my own funeral it’s so ugly. But then you think, Wait a minute, it’s so ugly it’s almost cool. And then it is cool! You decide it’s cool by picking it up and putting it on. It isn’t cool lying there in that bin. As soon as you curate it, like art, it makes it cool. That’s the difference.”
