Fashion emergency
Apr. 24th, 2003 06:33 amJust to show that I will never be honest and 'dress to impress' at the same time, I am totally lost by the makeover show. They redo your hair, make-up, and wardrobe. Everyone the person knows screams about how different they look, wow you look great, that's really you, the person themselves feels totally different about themselves...
I don't see it. The person, with new hair, make-up, and clothes looks the same to me. If anything, since they often do the business angle, I find them less attractive in their new outfits. I found them more attractive in sweats. I'm a fashion cripple. Then again, it’s odd that the fashion critic guy wears sweats and jeans. I’ve always noticed when I watch runway fashion – the guy who designs the clothes for the uber uber models, who drapes transparent fabric over anorexic hanger-girls, is wearing jeans, t-shirts, and sweats. We should let them lead us by example, not by what they display.
I guess I just see the face and body, and everything else is just trim. Why would I give a shit that you used pale to cover the eye circles? If you paint a wall, it still looks like a wall – lumpy or flat matters, but white vs. eggshell vs. brown vs. lime isn’t really a big deal. Clothes either hide or accentuate the body, but the cut and hang usually escape me. Hair...is just hair, so what? If a girl is pretty with long hair, she'll be pretty bald and vice versa. Whatever.
So understand when I say I am not interested in whether or not you have make-up on at this particular moment, or what outfit you are wearing, I mean it. When I'm dressed awfully, you should probably tell me as there is little chance I know. I know these things matter to other people, and I would like to look good, but I doubt I’ll ever be able to tell what works and what doesn’t.
