Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

“Theory: The reason that faded, worn-looking clothes are in right now is the same reason that palor was in in the 18th century—clothing has become very cheap and of high quality, so if you can look like your clothes are ‘worn,’ you stand out.”

WHO: Me
AND: And folks who were pale were considered sexy because it was rare that someone could stay out of sunlight in a time when manual labor was such a part of almost every person’s existence.
