The College Professor Whose College Style Was Perfect for Pornos
The day our Video Look Book cameras caught college professor Sean Starr, he was skipping a U.N. conference to go shoe shopping. "I’ve always just worn clothes that people make fun of me about,” he said. "I used to dress up in toilet paper when I was a little kid and call myself Juan Bizzaro.” When he was 18, he took a road trip to L.A. and landed an extra job in a porn movie. "They made everyone get in these weird outfits but they’re like, ‘No you’re perfect — you can wear what you’ve got on.’ ” Watch the Video Look Book to see how much his style has normalized since.
