I’ve ridiculed the flamboyance of artists; the meat-suits, the lohan antics.  Later I realized that it might be childish indulgence, but sometimes it’s deliberate:  A bizarre/outlandish move that reminds him/her that they’re not a solid persona.  That they can shift to a new identity/re-access creativity.  It doesn’t need to be crazy (sometimes it does); it can be simple-give a buck to a hobo I habitually ignore, or a sincere/heartfelt compliment towards someone I hate.  Just to remind myself I have no idea what I really am.  So that I can be whatever I need to be.
