One thing I'm hoping for
right now is to not witness a "rerun" of the schism that erupted, apparently with great vitriol, between the "bravehearts" and "freestylers" a few years ago -- in fact, I hope that we've gotten beyond that. True, there comes a point where "aggressive or "overly exuberant" freestyling" can look like it's turned into "crossdressing", but I suspect that, for the most part, your average bloke will stop short of that point.
As far as my "extra baggage" comment was concerned, that had more to do with the "extra research" I did on the subject, not particularly with the images themselves, although, as has been pointed out, they represent fashions that are well off the centerline.

Binx needs his "infamous blue hat".
Interestingly, I find that Jan's professionally-shot image is far more "edgy" than Binx's very safe denim rig. The monochrome on Jan's disguises, quite handily, the fabric and gives it a very dramatic look; Binx's, on the other hand, and this may actually be a "Good Thing" (Sorry, Martha), looks like a digi-cam shot taken whilst on holiday at a tourist destination.
Getting a GPL catwalk photograph may be a bit of a problem given some of the rather byzantine rules that seem to exist on the use of photographs. Anyway, I hope that one shows up and can be used to give the page the completeness and polish it needs.
