Okay, i'm around that same age as a lot of the women Stacey makes over (especially quite a few of the Goth-styled ones) and the 'man-on-the-street' section? Where everyone, even the ones around the contestant's age, are freaking out about her clothing?
At my school -and this was in a suburb of DC- Goth style was seen everywhere (90% of my friends group in high school fell into it actually).
