I have mixed feelings about the rockabilly look. I believe it can be pulled off in a very classy manner, or trashy and unattractive. When the rockabilly, pin-up, and greaser looks originated in the 50's, all were unapologetically adorable. Today, I find it difficult to to do these looks tastefully, but a few months ago, Teen Vogue featured an article on rockabilly that really caught my eye, and displayed the look perfectly. It has been dog-eared atop my never-ending pile of magazines, along with the concept still marinating in my mind.

A Little Example of Modern Rockabilly I Find Hard To Handle
Rachel Federoff from The Millionaire Matchmaker. I agree with essentially everything Patti Stanger says, along with the rest of the cast, but not necessarily the style of the cast. Regardless, they seem to be doing their jobs correctly and be overall very entertaining, so I put my differing opinions aside.
