Is there another field more patently useless than the fashion industry? Fashionistas, boiled down to their basic elements, are shysters making careers out of championing peer-pressure, belittling people, and selling snake-oil. Inferiority complexes are fostered so short-term items can then be foisted upon folks with the promise they'll remedy perceived imperfections. However one season's cure becomes the next's object of ridicule.
The brand Diesel's slogan is "for a successful life" which means "buy our clothes otherwise you suck. kill yourself". Victoria's Secret once described their new bra as "impossibly romantic". Say what?! Fashion mags are a waste because, though enormous, the pages are too glossy to wipe one's ass with. And what the hell's a runway show? Call it by its proper name: "coke snortin' party for rich folk" or maybe "Masque of the Red Death".
And it sure is fishy that Fashion's a "creative" field. In terms of innovation, they cycle more crap than Lance Armstrong if his bikes were made of horse shit and he were competing in the Tour de Merde. In terms of generating waste, they and the plastic industry should probably have landfills named after them. "Garbage Dump - by Ralph Lauren". Eck, these topics always make me feel awful but I'm sure a nice new belt will cure that. One with a big fat buckle! Or was that last year? Or was that 1976? 1776??

The Fashion industry fuels the american economy by backing up the cosmetic industry, plastic surgeons, weight loss programs, psycho therapy, and support groups.
Though I would be lying if I said I didn't like clothes. Though I can't imagine spending as much on them as the "stars" do.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! "Tour de Merde" LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you heard?
Black is back...
but this time, its different!
xxB
Don't tell you you actually watched On Her Majesty's Secret Service again!?!?!!
Fashion makes me laugh my ass off. Where else can you hear glorious phrases like "Have you heard, yellow is the new black"? WTF? If that's the case, then what the hell's the new yellow?!
I always find it interesting that we live in a society that supposedly is against child pornography but that allows young teen models to "share all" in the name of fashion..
Of course I also find it odd that the batch of letters I have to type in for word verification on a blog are all squiggly.
most fashion these days is bunk
and Sean Connery was the best Bond
george lazenby was a douche.
oh, and i heard "chocolate," not brown, is the new black.
...whatever. again, george lazenby was a douche.
I hope old black is the new black.
And Sean Connery is better than the rest of the Bonds combined, though I wonder where Pierce Brosnan would rank were he given better material.
Hi Glomgold, I know every once in a while you comment on my blog (usually when I blog about society and politics)...I have been meaning to visit yours and I did once or twice, then got busy with something and my mind was lost, that leaves me here right now, like 9 months later...your post's are funny, I like your humor, may I add a link to your blog?
By all means please do add a link. Thanks! The same thing happens with me. It gets tough keeping track of various blogs and sometimes I forget to visit some for long chunks of time.
Thanks, I shall link it Now...
