I have found myself giving in somewhat to subtle pressures in LA in a way that overt pressures would never have been able to influence me. There is sort of the attitude that, yes, it is fine for someone to show up in their underwear with weird makeup and funny colored hair, but then the list of roles they are allowed to play is somehow more limited. Given that I made a lot of sacrifices to get to grow up and still fly my weirdo flag, it bums me out when I feel like, if I wear what I want, I'll get bitchy competitive nonsense and poor performance from models and just not be taken seriously by businesspeople.
