If you've ever seen any fashion show at all, Peter, you'd know that it isn't about individuality or dignity. <br /><br />Models are walking mannequins. They are clothes hangers. You aren't even supposed to see them, really, just the clothes. Why would any young woman and I mean between 12 and 17) put herself through that, you ask? Because they get to see Paris, London, Milan and many other cosmopolitan cities, and be paid to do it. And maybe be the next "It Girl"--the one who gets to put "Super" before her job title. <br /><br />AntibubbaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-67611334843256781632010-09-22T00:09:03.339-05:002010-09-22T00:09:03.339-05:00With all due respect, Peter...seeking basic, commo...With all due respect, Peter...seeking basic, common decency <i>at a fashion show</i> is just about the same as looking for it in the Rialto(XXX!!!)Theater in the seedy part of your local downtown.<br /><br />Between the models who've starved themselves to the point where they'd look 8 months pregnant if they swallowed a grape, and the bizarre costumes meant more as an insult than an accent to femininity, 'fashion shows' have devolved into 'misogynistic freak shows.'<br /><br />The best way to deal with them is to not care. I've found that a wonderful way to save my sanity--plus, none of my friends and family have to hear me rant about the subject. ;)Wraithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791730539181731523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76261972602244886082010-09-21T20:01:52.535-05:002010-09-21T20:01:52.535-05:00The only ribs I want to see on a woman are those f...The only ribs I want to see on a woman are those for supper.<br /><br />Also, haut couture foolishness like this is just rich people making new problems for themselves so they don't have the same problems as poor people.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-87511120983273558412010-09-21T13:39:23.820-05:002010-09-21T13:39:23.820-05:00....Okay, an adult woman should NOT have a visible.......Okay, an adult woman should NOT have a visible and defined iliac furrow.
