Response to a good friend on Youtube who on learning I only wear black said 'Black is dull'.......... Black was once restricted to wearing as 'Sunday Best', Weddings, Evening wear or for funerals and mourning. Priests and the clergy wore black. Then those associated with being outside of conventional society claimed it. It was suddenly associated with anti establishment, devil worshipers, bikies, skin-heads, rockers, punks, emo's and goths. Not to mention bohemians beatniks intellectuals and other undesirables. To me I can wear black and be me. Before you condemn, you must understand most everyone wears black in Melbourne. It is the blackest wearing city in the world. When C and I travel to the States people automatically think we're in a band or something worse. Their fear of black fascinates me.
