Glitter and Stardust: It's Glam Week!
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person! Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth!" said Oscar Wilde in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and repeated by Brian Slade, a fictional, yet suggestive rock star (are there any other?) in Todd Haynes glam movie "Velvet Goldmine".
