Random Video Entry: More Boys Should Dress Like Michael Jackson at "Thriller" Dance Rehearsal
Even though I tend to talk like early-'70s Kris Kristofferson, some hotly troublesome scamp from a Bruce Springsteen song, and any given bank-robber from Point Break are the only dudes I'd ever consider shacking up with, my number-one imaginary dream boy is actually way more of charmingly bumbling, less blatantly bad-ass egghead-type. He's so gangly and much too tall, hyperactive, messy-haired and big-eyed and full-lipped, multiply-intelligenced to a freakish degree, and - most important - casually awesome at both chess and basketball. His facial structure somewhat resembles that of the kid who played Pickford in Dazed and Confused, and he dresses pretty much exactly like Michael Jackson at dance rehearsal for "Thriller" (as seen in the clip below): Hot-pink Mickey Mouse sweatshirt over plaid button-down + skinny trousers is a winning combination if I've ever seen one, though I'd definitely swap out those shoes for a sharp pair of Vans slip-ons.
One neat thing about this vid is how MJ captures not only the style but also the spirit of my dream dude - he's such a spazzy bratface but in a really endearing, good-natured way (especially from about 1:30 - 2:10, and especially when he's slip-sliding all around the studio floor). Oh to be Ola Ray in 1983! I'd so wear that exact same Adidas tee to rehearsal too.
