Believe it or not, Justin Simini dresses like this most of the time. He loves the clothes of the ’20’s and ’30’s, and this style of dress is supposed to be reminiscent of Gene Kelly, the song and dance man who appeared in so many great musicals including Justin’s favorite “On the Town.” Justin is on the town here because his sister Brittany is getting married tomorrow to Jordan Whilden.
Justin lives in Bernardsville, but he is originally from Ocean Township. He works as an investigator. Maybe he’s undercover today. We pressed him on why he is dressed like Gene Kelly, but he insists that it’s just a question of “looking good.” He really does look like a member of the cast in “Singing in the Rain” but, unfortunately, he can’t dance.
This afternoon we found him in the park, just a hop,skip and a jump from the Tabernacle where the wedding will occur. Undoubtedly he will be wearing something more up-to-date tomorrow. Let’s hope that the weather will be nice so that Justin won’t have to be singing in the rain.
