With the smallish head size those ears are absolutely necessary to hold
up the sunglasses.

Well, Phil and Paul reported that Pantani was Rujano's idol; maybe he
had his ears altered to match Marco's look.


Well, Pantani did get his ears trimmed, so would that be the before or
after look he was going for?


I think Pantani would have preffered to call it the before look the
"classic" look.


Hmm, like "New Coke" and "Classic Coke". No further comparisons needed
there (heh...).

He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by
force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....The
change would be very subtle....It might take ten years or so....
Gradually his face would change its' shape....A more hooked nose...
Wider, thinner lips....Beady eyes....A larger forehead.

He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other
people....They had also molded their faced according to some
ideal....Maybe they imagined that their new face would better
suit their personality....Or maybe they imagined that their
personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear-
ance....This is why first impressions are often correct...
Although some people might have made mistakes....They may have
arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them....
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish
whim, or momentary impulse....Some may have gotten half-way
there, and then changed their minds.

He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake.

Or maybe thats WHY pantani was his idol. HE probably sucked at soccer
and thought, hey,look at pantani, he's a little guy with stuckout ears
like me!
