The Fashion Industry Is Calling You Stupid… And Top Design Is Ridiculous

Written on October 13, 2008 by Marc Eastman in Television

Women, and you know who you are, for the love of God stand up for yourselves. ”You’ve come a long way baby,” (apart from the inherent difficulties of purporting to be a pro-feminine slogan) is turning into a mockery. If the lunacy that is merely being forced to listen to models speak isn’t enough, and apparently it isn’t because Tyra has a show, then the in-front-of-the-scenes world of fasion on television ought to by now be destroying itself.

I’ll say it again…

The entire world that is everything to do with fashion and “beauty” is calling you stupid!

You may recall that I’ve already had a go at Top Design‘s judge Kelly Wearstler. Read that one here. That was back when she wore this —

I was really prepared to leave well enough alone at this point. I wasn’t going to bother mentioning this—-

Then there was the week when she had two goofy outfits on in one show, but the only one they will show on the website is this —-

The one I wanted to show you was far more ridiculous. Still, I figured I had said my piece, and I was probably preaching to the choir anyway. But I can’t let the latest go without comment. There is no picture of it on their website as yet, so you have to watch the video.

You should get the picture right in the preview window, otherwise jump ahead about 90 seconds in, and you should be right to her appearance.

This is a woman described by the Top Design website thusly —

“Recognized among design aficionados and contemporary culture devotees for her enchanting take on interiors and the luxury lifestyle, Kelly Wearstler has fine-tuned contemporary notions of elegance since establishing her firm, Kelly Wearstler Inc., a decade ago.”

And thusly—

“Dubbed one of the design world’s top tastemakers by House & Garden and honored among House Beautiful‘s best designers for seven years running, Wearstler has re-imagined the visual landscape on a diverse array of award-winning projects.”

Women, please… the Emperor has no clothes… stop funding this industry. The woman is wearing a variety of clown costumes from around the world, and is recognized throughout the fashion/design industry as a style creator. Make it stop!

Men do not think model-sized women are attractive. They think, maybe, that dating them makes them cool, much like driving their BMW. There is not one girl on America’s Next Top Model with scheduling conflicts on their dating calendar.
