Thanks! I compartmentalize my writing a fair bit, so the fashion stuff I did in the early '00's was commercial writing aimed at getting work, with this kind of direct analysis only as a leitmotif. Lately, seems my best stuff is here.
I'd also argue that one can't simultaneously write well, not be pseudonymous, and work for a living, because what you hold in reserve to remain employable accumulates as pulled punches in your writing, and while nobody else may know, for an artist the shame can become unbearable. :)

Weak pseudonymity mitigates that somewhat.
