6.5.14 Fashion Is A Farce

I have nothing to say of a complimentary nature about the so-called "fashion" that was allegedly evident in New York, for some event called the Met-Gala. The rabble of celebrities gathered in one place in a variety of pathetic outfits highlighted that the fashion world is simply bonkers, and pathetic.  Does no one ever say to these people:

"Look, luv, before you step outside, have a look in that mirror over there and you'll see that there is a real danger of you confirming yourself as a laughing stock if you do go to the ball."

It seems there is no such person, and the sense check that's so necessary in the vast majority of cases is simply missing.  Thus, we have a fancy dress parade that is full of stuff you'd see in a school play for 11-year-olds, some slashed material that reveals either a chopstick of a leg or a tree trunk of a leg, see through parts which should most definitely be opaque, and some celebrities wrapped up in no better fashion (pun intended) than a pass-the-parcel prepared for a toddler's birthday party.

Together with all the face pulling, pouting, preening and posing, the army of odd-shaped clothes horses displays material that after being stitched together in a designer's workshop is supposedly worth thousands of pounds.  Mostly these are prototypes and the real clothes that the industry hopes to sell are marketed at ludicrous prices, with the stitching together left to Bangladeshi kids.  Meanwhile, western companies gloat at their brilliance.

Usually the celebrities are given the clothes free of any charge, and are in many cases paid to wear them.  Then the items are discarded, because no one seems to be allowed to wear anything twice.  WTF?  As for shoes, I am not sure I've seen more than a dozen photos in my life where a shoe fits the foot of a fucking model.  I don't mean a model fucking of course.

Just a word on the women whom we are led to believe are perfect, fashionable and to be idolised - and copied, of course.  I am afraid that Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, Beyonce, Rita Ora and a host of others are the constantly displaying actions and traits that are a long way from attractive, and so the fact that these people are held up as icons is the weirdest part of the whole mess.

Can someone tell me how this person is attractive?
