Funny thread. Many celebs dress beyond down. People still manage to
recognize them and fawn over them. It's attitude, not what you wear.
Flying back from the Florida Keys in Miami International I was wearing
what is called Key West Formal. (Sandals, Cut-off Jeans, Tropic Print
Shirt, Shades). Coach was overbooked. They asked me if I would
surrender my coach seat. They'd put me in First Class. Sweet. I guess
having out and cleaning my 35 mm SLR and 600 mm "big gun" zoom lens did
help a little. Since I looked like "somebody" from Key West, on the
plane I was treated like "somebody".
It had been a working vacation. I did some shots of Kelly McGillis'
place, a B&B on Fleming and Nancy's Secret Garden. But I agree with
Rosealee. Part of my attitude is to treat people the way I want to be
treated.
