For the last few weeks I've seen "fashion week" this and "fashion week" that in the media. I would normally not give one whit. Except I seem to recall that a few years ago the fashion industry came up against some fairly strong opposition to the thin sized models they were using on the runways.
No problem they said. We will forgo the size zero!
Lo and behold they did. They swapped the size zero for what appears to be size sub-zero!
Well done fashonistas!
I don't know who finds women like this attractive. Maybe (gay) fashion designers.
ReplyDeleteI think it's instructive that for lingerie models, swimsuit models, (mumble) pornstars (mumble)... where the image is about the body, not the clothes... the women are shorter and much, well, healthier looking (yeah that's it)...
That poor woman looks malnourished and sick. She needs a doctor, not a runway.
ReplyDeleteYikes! That model looks like a victim of abuse by starvation, not a model of beauty at all.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, why do models not smile any more when they're on the catwalk? Why the surly scowls and haughty looks? Do the designers think they'll sell more clothes that way? It's pretentious and stupid IMHO.
I'm not sure the designers actually sell anything on their runways. It all looks ridiculous and I've never seen anyone (possibly other than Lady Gaga and Victoria Beckham) wearing those clothes.
ReplyDeleteWhich makes me wonder why they do it to begin with. 'Cuz it's cool?
Actually, except for a smaller chest and blond hair, she looks a lot like a young woman who comes into my store rather often.
ReplyDeleteWhen she finally realizes you will not be judgemental, this young lady will tell you, hesitantly, that she was addicted to crystal meth, but finally got herself clean, and will only get better as she continues to regain her health.
(mumble) pornstars (mumble)
