Which one are you? And doesn’t it depend on the situation – seems to me all four people could be perceived as dangerous depending on the context. That’s why I LOVE dressing in neutral all black when I’m covering a story cause I find people don’t know how to “categorize” me and it throws them off. Kewl.
I remember buying a pair of Doc Marten boots. I was a mature student, wife and mum and wondered whether people would think I was trying to manufacture some image for myself and should grow up. In fact, I was skint and thought they would last a long time (they have) so would be a good investment. But I must admit that when I wore them I felt well ‘ard and even a tad aggressive. I felt that no-one would give me any grief, ‘cos if they did I’d knock their lights out! I’m not an aggressive person, honestly but I did certainly feel more confident. But, actually, reflecting on it now, maybe I was constructing a mask for myself to make me more confident, to be accepted by the younger students. Funny how we use artificial props, knowingly or unknowingly for that sort of thing, innit?
yep, i’ve worn a suit. not a rubbish city professional type crap suit… more retro stylish!
in the last few years i’ve probarbly been more no.4 with a hint of no.1… but there’s a lot of no.2 in me (note i said ‘no.2′ and not ‘no.2’s’!)… i’m not really an everyday no.3, infact i couldn’t stand being thought of as a no.3.
You bet your ass.

Interesting, I wear Doc Martins every day as they are smart and allow me to fit in with the scary suits.
