It occurred to me as I was looking at the pictures that these outfits are the designers' revenge on the models for being better-loooking than they are.

And I'm sort of the opposite, which is why I qualified that statement the way I did ("over-sheltered, neurotic," etc.)<br /><br />I think the answer to the question you pose is that what makes clothing ridiculous is the extent to which they seem to be trying to make a statement. The one thing all those outfits have in common is that they (or rather, their designers) are trying way, way too hard. I agree, what's "normal" is somewhat arbitrary and a matter of social norms. There's nothing more intrinsically weird about a floral pattern than a plaid one. But as long as plaids -- or solids -- are the norm, being different purely for the sake of being different is a waste of time, especially as you get further away from functionality -- as exemplified by the "Viking" and "satyr" outfits.John Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729625146043379286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-8593743892954544302013-01-31T07:23:01.790-05:002013-01-31T07:23:01.790-05:00'Bad hombres' don't think like you thi...'Bad hombres' don't think like you think they do. They're not worried about the majority of other men, and the men they have a beef with they think: "I'm gonna kill you, bitch." They don't think in terms of 'skillful performance', they're thinking: "Bend over, bitch".<br /><br />On the other hand, a 'bad hombre' might think that those outfits, pictured above, would go with the victim disarmament ideas you advanced yesterday. If he were wont to spend any time giving thought to what you might think.<br /><br />Ok, so you think those outfits are ridiculous. But why? After all, once you get past the basic functional aspects of clothing, it's all fashion anyway. What is it that makes this clothing so friggin' dorky? I mean, we all know they're dorky, but why are they dorky? Isn't that more interesting?lowlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487791314264267615noreply@blogger.com
