The Confusing World of Fashion: A Bewildering Experience

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the attractiveness and fashion choices of runway models, with participants expressing bewilderment at the extreme styles presented in fashion shows. There's a consensus that the designs often appear ridiculous and are more appealing to designers than to the average consumer. The evolution of fashion is likened to peacock tails, where each season aims to outdo the last in terms of absurdity.

Do you find these creatures attractive? i think they have been made into a parody of what the chick/arty people think is cool. And the way they walk what the, who thought that up?

Yes i watched a fashion show on tv and have been left bewildered.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
