Those aren’t their real names, but let’s pretend that they are and you can figure out which is which.
I love this photo. The female half of this couple is the opposite of the tanned, salon-haired, manicured, pair-with-pearls kind of girl we’ve seen a lot of, although she is certainly no stranger to hair product. Perhaps that is why she fits so well with her date — who also hasn’t seen the sun in a few months because his band’s been too busy practicing in his uncle’s garage — who shares her haircare regime.
These kids? They love their metal. I love that both her delicate lace wrap is black, as is his boutonniere. Oh, they will consent to going formal, but they won’t give up their stick-it-to-the-man blackness!
They are to be taken seriously as rockers.
You know. Braces and all.
i’m surprised you didn’t mention his cummerbund sitting to high. it makes it look like he’s wearing old man pants. maybe it was interfering with him getting into his pockets, but that thing is sitting a good 3-4 inches too high.
Naomi, you’re totally right. When you can see the white shirt poking through the bottom (see his right side), the cummerbund is clearly way too high.
Old man pants? HA!
Poor L/Ronnie!
