Poser Mike

This is not necessarily one of my closest friends, indeed I barely knew the guy except for the fact that he was part of the scene...

Poser Mike was this gay punk kid with piercings and the old-style deep burgandy satin bomber jacket. He would come to gigs and hang at Savannah DeVilles. Crew cut and glasses. I'm not sure why he was labelled "Poser" - he seemed the real deal to me.

I saw Poser Mike last summer at the used record shop on Rideau. Same hair cut, newer glasses and much more mainstream look. Unmistakable nasal voice and large-gauge earings.
