Was watching the hotel TV in NYC, a news channel with a report on the markets freaking out about the tariffs... and suddenly this figure materialized that seemed to be beamed straight from an early Split Enz or Oingo Boingo video... or perhaps an old VHS of a Cardiacs concert
Scott Shellady... some kind of MAGA-aligned financial pundit!
Decisively breaking with the smart, dark-hued business suit look you would expect from someone in the financial world, in favor of a parodic "this is showtime" look that is very New Wave
The Buggles style specs and the garish bow tie and the clashing colour scheme - that lime shirt! - it all does remind me of the nexus of glam, prog and New Wave identified here
Shellady looks like he should be manically pounding a Farfisa while grimacing like a loon
Apparently the gimmicky look has something to do with cows... he's known as the Cow Guy...
Shellady also touts a line of merch
Amazing! I now want to know how his name is pronounced. Is he SHE-lady, or SHELL-laddy, or something even weirder?
ReplyDeleteDevo's Booji Boy for sure!
ReplyDeleteHe’s certainly got a MAGA complexion.
ReplyDeleteGammon, or as they call it in America, "fresh ham"
