Hello again. Glad to see you here. Internet activity has been down as my internet has been down. Over the span of the last 3 days I've been a straight out internet schlub getting reacquainted like I've never had the internet before. As a result, my SHINee girl fandom has comeback along with an observation.
Taemin has always been a strong favorite of mine s well as the majority of the constituency that composes SHINee fans. Who couldn't love the dancer? Among other things, his voice and looks have matured quite nicely. In every live performance I've watched on Youtube, he's shining with confidence and attitude that ooozes "bitch, I'm a rockstar."
With that said, resurrecting the old mantra "confidence is the best accessory," sometimes, it's all you got. As in the case of Taemin, I'd imagine he's quite the open minded kid since his performance wardrobe has been a straight up free for all.
Observe.
Sometimes, to me, the rowdy wardrobe almost seems like an effort to equalize to down play his good dancing, singing, and overall cuteness. It's just like Harrison Bergeron. Despite the aluminum foil pants, zebra dolman hoodie, and the other oddities, Taemin rocks them all like a Calvin Klein model well equipped with the knowledge and confidence that it takes a lot to make him look bad. For someone who looks good in virtually everything, why not push the limits and make him a giant fashion experiment? He doesn't mind. He's a rockstar.
addendum: They should give him a bad haircut.
