Here is a fashion question closer to home ~~ when you're wearing sunglasses, don't you automatically feel better looking, easily as cool as Jane Birkin, just more on top of it in general? I certainly do.

I feel the inspiration is from religious garments. Nun's habits, Monk robes, Jewish tassles, gold for egyptian pharohs, Native beads, Russian Orthodox with the furs, embellished Shinto puffy vests, and perhaps all the black is Wiccan. Not sure about the silver and blue, but someone else might have insight on that.

And models are so severe in expression and styling these days. They have to keep changing things in order to maintain interest. Years ago, models all looked serious, then there was a trend where they smiled and leapt around, now it's back to serious. Mossie, they are taught to walk that way, with one foot placed in front of the other so they can't go fast. And even if they wanted to, they are dragging a ton of cloth behind them. Have to give the celebrities and buyers time to look at the merchandise. Speaking of serious, I find totally annoying how ads for appliances and food show people with huge smiles as though a washing machine or takeout food was the greatest thing they ever saw. |

They're just getting us ready for AI models and we will have a menu to see them smiling or frowning, walking fast or slow, and then everybody will be happy, except for the fucking stupid clothes.

that slow strut, like an extremely constipated chicken  I think one of the reasons for the severe looks on the faces of the models is because it's become a thing in the fashion world. The other reason, for some of them at least, is that they're trying to look older. Some of them are obviously still girls. Of course now I'll have Mossie's chicken comment stuck in my head forever. But before that, those skinny fashion models always reminded me of something my uncle would pull: "See that girl over there? She can sing really well." [Q: how do you know?] "Because she's got them bird legs!" |

Today’s simultaneously vacuous and stern look on the models, and their pale makeup and bald-look hair are only slightly more appealing than the anorexic, heroin-addict look favored when Kate Moss was the breakout supermodel.

It makes me wonder whether when these models get home and say, "God the stuff I had to wear today was stupid!" And the clumpy shoes. They must have practiced walking in thick mud.
The black girl's wig reminded me of Diana Ross!
