Default If you looked exactly like Pete Doherty....

...would you dress exactly like him too?

Bloke on the bus this morning was a dead ringer for Pete, if it wasn't for his clear skin and lack of paunch I would've thought it was the man himself! Amazingly he wore the whole sodding get-up. The hat, the jacket, the skinny jeans and pointy shoes.

Maybe he gets free stuff that way

Ah, maybe he was a professional looky-likey!

Still, if he was a professional clown I bet he wouldn't wear his oversized boots and frizzy wig on the bus

I saw one of those outside a Babyshambles gig at Koko. Spot-on repro, but I wasn't fooled as I'd just come out from seeing the "real thing".

This saddo was hanging out in front of the venue on his own, presumably hoping for something or other...

Bring back hats. It used to be that most men wore hats, now only pretentious wankers wear them.

Skinny jeans and pointy shoes are for women and gays.

It was the de riguer look in New York last autumn for lads of a certain age - skinny bid, drainpipe jeans and a hat at a jaunty angle.

I find it funny as these guys are about 19 or so.

At 19 I was wearing a pair of shorts, a guernsey sweater, a pipe and drinking Guiness with whisky chasers - so I guess I was a Kenneth More wannabe... well how many role models are there for gingers (outside of the House of Harkonnan ;^)

Let em be, I say after all Pete is a Hancock wannabe.
