The last of the funk powered trains...

Oh yeah. THAT'S why I'll never be fashionable.

, , , ,

It's good to be reminded occasionally.

There must be some kind of fashion thing going on at the moment, there has to be some reason why I've just been watching clips from it.

And jolly frightening it was, too. I can tell you.

All the men appeared to be wearing women's clothes. There wasn't a thing in there that would have looked out of place over a skirt, in fact with a couple of exceptions that women wouldn't have been seen dead in, all the trousers were pretty girly too.

But at least the male models were still alive, the female models were obviously the undead. They looked, and in some cases moved, like refugees from Fashion Show Of The Living Dead. They were stringbeens, stick insects, and/or zombies. Hollow eyed, and so sickly looking you could almost smell the bulimiac vomit. One thing you can be sure of, they don't get much sex.

They'd break.

And here I find a strange contradiction. Newsagents are agreeing to put the men's sweat and lad's mags, which push the 'ideal body shape' of 36-24-36, on the top shelf alongside the porn, but the fashion mags that push this kind of un-natural body shape at the female sex can be placed anywhere on the shelves that the newsagent, or his distributor, fancies.

I know which mags I think should be up there with the porn.

It'll be downloaded in a Flash. And that's the bit that worries me...Another seven days, another 'Question Time'.

I know what you mean. At one time I lived in constant fear that my step daughter or one of my nieces would take too much notice of the unrealistic body shapes peddled in the media and end up in hospital. Thankfully, no lasting impressions have been made on any of them. My youngest niece nowadays will nibble on anything in sight, but that's a different problem...

The reason they use models at all is to show potential buyers what the clothes look like when worn. The object should be to get the average person to be able to relate to the model and ultimately buy the clothing?

I'm not a huge person, but I would be more inclined to buy something that looked nice on a person similiar to my body shape and age.

The other - men weaing women's clothes is just wierd.

Lois the fashion imdustry and all who work within it are all totally wierd,as far as stick insect models go anyone who uses them should be locked up.

And most of them are about as big a turn on as a jellyfish

Boy George summed it up for me when he said "All clothes designers are gay. They're not designing those clothes for women, they're designing them for their ideal boy."
