variations on a trench coat: shiny celebrity skin

This will become apparent as soon as you scroll down, but this outfit has nothing to do with the post title or the name of this variation except that "Marianas Trench" and "trench coat" share a word (unless you're an English major*). (Which is why I put this video for Marianas Trench's "Celebrity Status" here to distract you.)

*by which I mean you can find some obscure connection that was unintended by the writer**

**OOOH, BURRNNNNN***

***Kidding, mostly. I just have a beef with when people insist that a certain meaning was intended by a writer, versus "could be usefully, interestingly, or otherwise productively analogized to domain X."

This is Variations on a Trench Coat...
