The Stylists
I see that while Robert Plant has been been playing hard to get, he has affected the frilly dress-shirt look. Admittedly most of the buttons appear to have been sliced off during the ironing process, but it's a dress shirt all the same. Old Robert seems to be a down-to-earth sort of fellow, who wouldn't be too bothered about stylists, so he probably came up with this idea himself, d'you think?
How about Macca and the recent basketball boots and suit outfit? Maybe one of Stella's?
Or David Bowie and his mad and baggy Japanese trousers from, oh, far too many years ago? You remember, surely? My thoughts are that Dave came up with this one himself. After all, an artist is an artist.
Look, I'm sorry there are no evidential pictures inserted into this post, but if I don't get myself downstairs pretty sharpish I'm going to be on the receiving end of a snippy letter from Fiona Shackleton.
But if anyone can find a snap of Rod Stewart on Parkinson some years ago - when he was promoting The Cheap and Lazy Slaughter of the Great American Songbook - he's dressed in some sort of yacht captains outfit with piping and braid and all...Now, there's the work of a stylist, and not necessarily a good one.
Any more for any more?

Your Uncle Ron..
I think your uncle Ron is also my Grandad.. based on the "interesting fact" on your profile. Which means your probably one of my Mums cousins. She apparently has around 30 so she was wondering who your mother/father are because im interested as to whether we're related or not.
Cheers,
