Do those two really think they're all innovative and edgy? They look like every mall-shopping punkrock wannabe in every suburb in America...five years ago.

Vainly pose for a photo series on people who, allegedly, look stylish -- expect to have your "style" criticized. I don't see why that's hard to comprehend. WE didn't put their photos on a public blog.
