Yes, readers and bloggers alike, I watch some reality TV. Mostly, I stick to The City. I can stomach it the easiest.
I like fashion. I enjoy getting dressed in the morning, I enjoy shopping. But I don't understand why fashion shows have these outrageous designs that look more like Halloween costumes than actual clothes. It's couture, but unwearable.
Lately, I've begun to appreciate bohemian-style clothes, bags and accessories. I enjoy the loose, hippie kind of flowy clothes and prints.
Even though I tend to pride myself on being scholarly and not really succumbing to shallow ways of my contemporaries, I don't mind talking about fashion. I don't see it as being shallow. Clothing choices are often the result of society's influence on the population of any given area or status. One can analyze regions, entire countries and eras based on fashion. One may also determine the rate at which people continue to disregard contemporary or popular beliefs and customs...and how fast those people group together and become a trend all their own. The hippies of the 1970's, for example, and even the hippies of today. How fast did the idea of the hippie become fashionable? Quickly, my friends. Who's to say that anything remains original?
peace&&love, my friends.
