THE SENSACIST PRESENTS: Models of the New Order
so last night the gays and i assembled to watch the first episode of Project Runway 3. naturally champagne was involved, gaysia matty lost it and everything eventually disintegrated into a dance party. but, some very intriguing things were noted before i ended up screaming about the weather, bladerunner, the decline of western civilization and beating gaysia with yellow rubber dishwashing gloves.
ANYWAY, one of the models for this season kind of blew my mind because although she was tall enough and had very strong black ethnic features, she was also really built, like i'm talking this girl had gunz. you can't see so well in this picture, i will try and find more and i didn't find her particulary attractive but she was striking and it got me to thinking about the concept of models which i think about a lot anyway.
fashion is a taste and obviously $$$ based industry so the models are naturally going to reflect specific tastes and how certain people percieve how the clothes should fit so the clothes will sell. there are billions of people in the world so naturally some people are going to fit into each specifically defined ideal. toothpick, "hangar" models are all the rage now but i am wondering if things are going to shift, i wonder if we will see more models like this girl. in any case, it is potentially exciting and ripe for interpretation on many levels.
wow i just totally fagged out. don't you love me?
