It doesn't actually hurt to have Perez Hilton make fun of you, I suppose. Free publicity.
Actually, we talked earlier about the look not going with the more "rocking" sound of the album, because we had some descriptions of him here as looking like an old man with dementia. But actually, now I think the look kind of goes with the crazed parts of the title track Gift of Screws. Rather than old and slow, the look could be simmering and watchful. There's almost a criminal, "it's a plea you're copping" aspect to it, which implies its own sort of action, albeit evil action. I can look at it today and think: he's not old and immobile, so much as crouching, keeping a low profile, just before he's ready to pounce. I don't think it is out of step with some of the album's tracks.
Of course, I'm not exactly sure what Kristen was trying for.
