Fascinating and compelling. I just had to go through the lot of them.
The overwhelming impression (left on me anyway) is of the frail, transient, vulnerable nature of the 'for public consumption' projection of one's persona - and the way it is magnified in those who seek, cultivate or have it thrust upon them.
There's a certain melancholic atmosphere to almost all of them.
