Blu, you are amazing with the ability to analyse a situation and explain it so well. You're a natural teacher.

It is interesting to try to figure out how one is perceived by others by what we wear.

I guess I would be seen in the "special occasion / nutcase" catergory. I'm known well enough not to be called "gay" (except the happy version), and I don't look ethnic.

The "special occasion" would only be seen if there was some event on, so that leaves me most of the year in the "nutcase" pidgeonhole!
