Is This Fashion Or Halloween?

I’ll be the first to say that I’m a pretty conservative dresser, and I’m not on the cutting edge of fashion. That’s because, well, I don’t want to be. If this is the cutting edge of fashion, you can count me out.

(Plus, I don’t wear dresses.)

We see all these two second clips of runway models all the time but what are they wearing?

Is that even reasonable?

If I saw some person dressed like that on the streets I would burst out into hysterical laughter. That maybe rude, but I don’t think I could help myself.

Is it all a joke? It looks a lot like Halloween to me, not a fashion show. Even so, there are still so many girls I know, who would just love to be one of these models, especially since America’s Next Top Model came out. I keep trying to tell girls that those models are only relatively pretty. I say relatively because they are very pretty compared to other awkward, long-legged creatures, like gazelles and giraffes, but are, when compared to females of the same species, in my opinion, just average looking skinny girls.

What is the purpose of runway modeling anyway? I think it was originally to advertise clothing. But can’t you reach a bigger audience with something like a … oh, I don’t know… commercial?

As if women aren’t objectified enough in this world, we need to actually have them strut up and down a stage with the sole purpose of being a “clothing holder”, an object much like a coat rack. If we keep up these objectifying principles, maybe I could hire a skinny girl as an ottoman.

The purpose now I think is just money. It all comes down to money and people who have it. It’s those people who have plenty of money to spend on absolutely nothing but either watching these girls strut, or buying these ridiculous clothes. This life is for the pure elitist, the one’s that consider themselves high-class and have a pseudo-need to dress in clothes that will keep them years ahead of the fashion trend.

For the sake of learning from our history, and showing how whimsical our predictions of the fashion trend can really be, I give you a video. It’s a prediction from the 20s about fashion in the year 2000. Let’s just say lady’s aren’t actually wearing electric lightbulbs on their head just yet.
