Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
One of the things I look for in an adult is the ability to change behavior so that it is appropriate to the context. Jackson hasn't shown that ability.
Yes, this. I am a freak, by most people's definitions. And I know when things are appropriate and when they aren't.
Farrah Fawcett is a weirdo?
Her last few appearances on talk shows have been bizarrely disconnected from reality. She freaked out Letterman, which takes some doing.
Was she weird back in the '70s? Because I was too young to be paying attention then (although I did know she was married to the Six Million Dollar Man).
You must not have The Official Guide To Crazies and Weirdos.
No.
Wait, maybe I do....

OH yeah, I forgot about that. (Heard about it, didn't see it.)
She wasn't weird that we know of back in the 70s. But honestly, it was the 70s. Judgement on almost anything is questionable from the whole decade.
If you weren't weird during the '70s, you had the wrong friends.
Pee Wee Herman was a character. Elton hasn't worn the big glasses in years and didn't he only dress like that on stage? One of our very cutest goths goes to interviews in, albeit toned down, Morticia-meets-Mary Poppins garb and we all find it delightful.
At the height of the peace movement Mom and cohorts had a throwdown over how you dress when you meet with the man. Mom said they should dress conservatively and not draw focus from their position with thier garb. Some of the others were adamant that they should "be themselves". Neither choice as "un-adult."
In perfectly sane and not-weird-at-all news, where the HELL did I leave my distance glasses?
car.
Yes, this. I am a freak, by most people's definitions. And I know when things are appropriate and when they aren't.
What would you wear to court? (this is not a snarky question)

Actually the second is a profoundly un-adult choice. Do you want to have people listen to you or do you want to express yourself? The two are sometimes mutually exclusive. An adult has several different selves which he/she can adapt to the occasion.
Jilli wears Jilliclothes to job interviews partly because she's warning the employer that this is the woman they're hiring. There are occasions that are grave enough that Jilli would dress civilian -- she just said as much.
