And advert aired for sex and the city. One of my favorite shows. I wasn't very old when the show came out, but used to watch it on my black and white portable telly with the headphones in. It influenced me in such a way that while my friends were still reading top of the pops I'd beline to the post office everymonth to pick up Vogue. It's what inspired my love of charity shopping, my obscure dress sense and my love of writing. Sex and the City made me want to better myself.
anyway! the advert airs for sex and the city. To which my previously subdued company started to graphically insult the show. Not based on the script, Acting, Premise or fashion. The disdain felt by my friends for the show was based entirely on the opion that sarah jessica parker looks like a foot.
I was riled enormously given that this pair considered Jared Letto to be a catch (I never really digged the albino goth look).
It reminded me of a post I made last year when maxim voted SJP the ugliest woman of all time:
Now Im not going to claim that Sarah Jessica Parker is today's modern Godess. I wont deny that Amy Winehouse isnt the best role model. Madonna has seemed to be clasping at straws whilst dealing with aging. But there aint no way in hell Im going to agree with maxims verdict on their "the five unsexiest women alive" feature.
How is it that Angelia Joley isnt on it, with her vacum cleaner lips, emaciated frame and incestous habits?
Or what about Jodie price, plastic surgery's answer to "dolly the sheep" (and we all know how that turned out).
Perhaps bigbird, ahem i mean faketits, ahem needs to eat and stop pretending she is talented,Victoria Beckham.
Kate moss is another total talentless mong. I really cant wait fro her to hit forty and when her ever hallowing face will shatter into a million peices.
Seriously Maxim?
Camilla, Heather mills, Jacky Stalone? Any of these ring a bell.
Probably not. after all this is a publication that uses a nonexistant (unsexy) to describe supposed undesirables.
But its evident what the real issue is.
Fashion
The three above are each a represent of a decade of fashion. Style queens followed and imitated.
Maddona takes on the 80s with lace gloves and leather.
SJP shone a torch in the 90's when everyone was hiding in high jeans and poorly fitting tops. SATC was the spotlight that got us ladies back in to gear.
And Amy, have look round topshop pick up grazia this week, she'll be the, with rocker jeans 60's looks and big hair.
So are men scared of fashion?
Trinny and sussanah's dress the nation seemed to say yes.
They ladies produced a leafet guiding men to make the best shopping decisions for their bodyshape.
Yet somehow it was all to complicated, they pulled faces as if at the end of the first date a girl had turned round and said i love you, lets get married and have kids.
Now Im all for feminism and that jazz.
but seems to have caused us a LOT of trouble in the style stakes.
Watching movies like High Society and news reals b.f (before femenism) its clear most took pride in their appearance and appreciated others attempts.
Its been a while since wearing ala mode, has actually been fashionable. Look at Kate Moss, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Suddenly the whole thing has become undermined by sloppy casual wear and bad manners.
Now I’m a girl who isn’t apposed to wearing items for comfort every now and then. Whilst Cleaning, lounging and running to the corner shop are all acceptable. I truly bear no grudge against those who prefer that laid back lifestyle. But the hideous fact of the matter is all three of these women are styled, preened and dieting their way to this image.
Call a spade a spade I say. Laid back clothes are for laid back people. Not those eating barely 500 calories and running to the gym 3 hours a day. These people are pretenders and there are ruining fashion and dressing for the rest of us.
Not just that but their making true fashion, the art form seem intimidating. In fact like most art its dying off for shit. Everything has to be casual simple and sexy. But It just doesnt work. it doesnt satisfy.
I truly believe that if SJP walked around in jeans and a hoodie maxim wouldnt think twice. But hey! let them have their fun. Let them drool over page 3 and emaciation.
But just let them try and dissuade me from dressing scary.
