As a result, he hastened the transformation of fashion from a rarefied interest of the elite into a object of bottomless mass-cultural fascination. Remember, there weren't always MTV style awards or accountants who can identify the faces in Harper's Bazaar or makeup artists with best-selling coffee-table books.

Like Cassidy's first series, the eerie and generally well-crafted thriller American Gothic (1995), Roar is a larger-than-life, good-vs.-evil tale unleavened by campy humor, the ingredient this television genre seems to require. Perhaps because Cassidy spent so many years himself as an object of kitsch, he demands that his television ventures be taken quite seriously.

But the sweet part is that he was ready to move on. The last time I spoke with him, about five weeks ago, I felt he had already left on another journey. He was in a peaceful place where he didn't want to know about earthly things. He was like a brave Indian warrior who knew it was time to move on and was facing...
...visitations. The point here is covering up is the daily business of the Men in Black. To ensure that humans are kept in a state of tranquil ignorance. Jones coolly erases people's memories of encounters-of-the-third-kind simply by holding up a handy-dandy pen-shaped object called a "newralyzer." More importantly, the MiB serve as the planet's inter-terrestrial INS agents, regulating the movements of some 1500 aliens sojourning on Earth, concentrated mainly in NYC and mostly in human disguise.
