MJ's trailer trash

I've watched the trailer for the Michael Jackson movie a dozen times now, and can't stop marvelling at how truly grotesque his everyday sense of style was. It was just one FASHION FAIL after another. And talk about combining high/low! I can't think of anyone else IN THE WORLD who might wear Ed Hardy one day and Balmain the next. In one scene he stuns us with a fashion-forward, sharp-shouldered jacket, then quickly back-slides into his Jewish mother-of-the-bride mish-mosh of appliqés and lamés. And I get that he never meant for us to see this footage, but dear GOD, it looks as if Bubbles styled him. I mean, he wasn't alone in front of his mirror at Neverland. There WERE people around. The color combinations alone are seizure-inducing. All in all, I think he gives Little Edie a run for her money.
