    It has always amazed me what an industry often lead by gay men
    has been able to get women to ware.

    But I feel the need to confess that the whole idea of having some one else determine what is cool for me to ware completely destroys the whole idea of self expression.

    To me it seems that letting some one else "dress you" is letting someone else define you. Has any man ever thought that a busy bon hair style covered in highly flammable hair spray that makes a woman's hair stick to your hand.really improved a woman's looks?
    I once polled every male friend I had as we were all dating young women who wore them.
    Universal hatred!

    I pointed this out to the young woman I was dating. What she said stunned me.
    She Said:
    "We don't don't dress to impress men, we dress to impress each other."

    Some one please explain to me the evolutionary value to be found in Gay men determining the dress of women trying to out do and impress each other?

    I mean shouldn't the tastes of straight men wander into this conversation at some point?
    Don't get me wrong, I have seen creations in fashion that put birds of paradise to shame! That leave me wondering why life can't dress like that.
    But as almost everything I objected to way back then has thankfully been burned or donated to the salvation army where creative, enterprising young poor people buy them and create the fashions the fashion industry inmates.

    Is it to much to ask that something this meaningless should at least look good? If your fashion is about the creative expression of another, aren't you just a walking billboard for that other?

    it is my view that evolutionary speaking it's a damn good thing that men remember how good women look naked.

    A song of despair on the streets of brotherly love.



    This one has lyrics but lacks the artistry of the first video.

    It's an ancient crummy video of a decent song. Women are thrown into competition with each other all the time, hence the magnified importance of clothing. For women, clothing is a matter of life and death.

    The only bad thing about hippies was that they scared the ruling class to death. And we are still paying the price for that, bigger than ever.

    Always hated this song. The people who sang it wound up hating each other. Only fitting.
