The look is clean and very 'done' but the attitude and feelings are somewhat anarchistic. Usually outspoken, open-minded, and easy to get along with. Often talkative, with good sense of humor, although some are also quite shy when outside of their comfort zone (being creative). Good knowledge of music, art, movies, books, and creative stuff from both mainstream and non-mainstream media, they aspire to (or already have) careers in the arts/entertainment industry. Reads widely, often creates over multiple artistic mediums, and in some cases is very tech-literate. Some 60's influences in terms of fashion and iconography. Often natural hair color. Girls sometimes sport pale lip tints, dark eyeshadow a la' Edie Sedgewick, while guys are often into hats and caps. Vision-challenged art-nerds often lean towards retro or nerd style glasses, many owning more than two pairs of specs. Fashion influences come from Librarian, Nerdcore, Geek, Punk, 60's and Edwardian.
