The motherlode seems to be at this South American fashion blog.<\/a><\/p>\n

For all I know David Beckham, Miley Cyrus<\/strong> and Charlotte Church<\/strong> really do all\u00a0share a deep and profound\u00a0love for The Maiden?<\/p>\n

Metal is funny like that – despite all the moral panics about Satan and head-banging health hazards, I don’t really\u00a0think it has any kind of criticism of society at its core. I mean you can argue the toss about punk, but surely metal can simply be reduced to the youthful hedonism of rocking out and\/or getting wasted, with some stuff about dragons thrown in for good measure?<\/p>\n

I’ve written about my thankfully very brief brushes with metal<\/a> and rawk<\/a> before, but it’s not really my thing. So I can’t really work up much defensiveness or laughter when its imagery is used by celebs.<\/p>\n

But there is still part of me that has a weirdly protective attitude about punk. I actually find this troubling and hilarious in equal measures. Disentangling my own bizarre personality traits is the reason for this series about t-shirts<\/a> I guess. (That, and posting photographs of attractive bare-armed\u00a0young ladies seems to have a positive effect on my blog views, for some reason…)<\/p>\n

Getting back on track, here is Lindsay Lohan<\/strong> wearing some garms from eighties California hardcore punk groups:<\/p>\n

And “It Girl” Alexa Chung<\/strong> in a “Am I more skeletal than my t-shirt?” pose.<\/p>\n
