The picture of the girls reminds me of a news local news story I saw way back in the 1980's. Madonna was touring during her Like A Virgin period and a camera crew and reporter were interviewing a gaggle of teen aged girls all done up in their best, and largely identical, Madonna outfits awaiting the show. When asked why they dressed like that the instant response was "We are expressing our individuality." I was about 15 years old at the time and I think I knew then I had my work cut out for me trying to understand these young women.
