I love the grace with which you destroy these assinine misogynists! I rebel by living comfortably in non-stick size, non-designer jeans and T shirts most of the time. I've never bought anything connected to him as far as I know and never will. The thing that made me laugh is that there wouldn't be anyone to buy his daft inventions if it weren't for us mummies producing tomorrow's consumers! Another good one!

But as you say - the rich and famous seem to be forgiven for the very worst of sins, so it probably won't happen. I went through a phase of caring far too much about fashion but now, I just hate how it causes so many problems in the world. In our countries - it makes people shallow and even anorexic. And in third world countries, it exploits people - even children. I wish more people would wise up to it and make a stand. But most of those who could influence the general public - if it was fashionable; like the supermodels who protested against fur, then went back to wearing it.

Carl went on a crash diet and looked simply gaunt. He also had a problem with Shirley McLaine when she did a TV movie about Coco Chanel. He loves to run his mouth. Polanski should have paid years ago and the US could have gone after him before this. There is a reason it is all coming out again. I really feel badly for the victim and her family.

And she’s right, of course, we shouldn’t give two shits what a wealthy, septuagenarian man thinks of us, or what we wear or say or do. Because who cares, right? I certainly don’t.

I got a chuckle out of Tess's comment. Tess, if you read this, I do so love that you speak your mind:~) Vered -- I like the fact you are bringing awareness to people like this and show them for who they really are. This man is created by his culture and the people who allow him to have importance. To me, he is below a slug (not to dump on slugs, but they're not the smartest insects)! I feel sorry for him, but you never know...perhaps, if you believe in karma, maybe in his next life he'll actually become a slug:~) Vered,

The results were, thin liked them, average went both ways, overweight didn't like them. I asked a female friend about thin models. She said she liked seeing the clothes on them. I don't know what to think. I wish we weren't so hung up on all of this. I recently read a study of women, thin, average, overweight, looking at pictures of models.
