Fashions for the Blind and Mentally Handicapped

I've long held that fashion shows are just a way to ogle pretty people in hideous clothes. And, of course, fawn all over the designer who created those cutting edge experiments in completely useless clothing. Take our handsome boy on the left there in his chest thong. There is no way, no how that ridiculous looking piece of shit outfit is ever going to be adopted as daily wear.

I'm sure there's some message being conveyed by the black stripe descending into the fabric around his crotch but who cares? It looks uncomfortable and, more importantly, stupid.

Make the thong part into a bandoleer filled with shot glasses or slightly angled throwing knives and we'll talk. Not for long but longer than we would if you were trying to sell me on this stupid outfit. The corn rows aren't doing him any favors either.

I wonder if it comes with black socks and sandals too?

Right Message, Wrong Target and Wrong Delivery

Miss England told to fatten up before the Miss World competition (which, thankfully, isn't owned by Donald Trump). Now, take a look at the picture and tell me she's too thin. She looks to be in good shape, healthy and pretty darned pretty.

I appreciate the message that is attempting to be sent, that the waif thing, the size 0 model, is an unhealthy image and role model to aspire to. But Georgia Horsley isn't a size 0, she's a size 4 and looks as healthy as can be.

This message would be alot more effective if it were leveled at the scrawny runway models featured in those fashion shows. You know, the ones that have these women parading around in ridiculous looking outfits showing off their ribs and bony knees and calling it sexy and fashionable when nobody in their right or wrong mind would ever wear the stupid looking outfits.
