October - Fashion and Sex Pt 1.

Dear Readers,

The 'dolltime girls' only have two major complaints in our house: Nothing to wear and Not Enough Closet Space  .    Oscar Wilde once said "Fashion is merely a form of ugliness so intolerable we have to alter it every six months"  : - But what dear old Oscar didn't realise was that really,  it is all about getting a shag.

And a big con to get your money.   ................. Read on

Superbrands, through Magazines, Catwalk Shows, the fashion press, facebook, youtube, twitter, and advertising control their image, which gets so deeply embedded in our minds through hype & the whole marketing brain wash machine, that the pleasure centres of our brain actually light up (MRI Scan) when we see expensive 'name' fashion products but not unknown brands. For most of us a $25,000 (or more) handbag, coat, dress, shoes or other 'name' accessories is out of the question but a $250 Louis Vuitton belt for example - even if it is only worth $10 to keep our trousers up - well many can manage that to activate their ego.. The old subconscious, emotional (including sex and the pleasure centres), Paleomammalian brain (part of the Limbic System) controls the conscious, rational brain making us do quite irrational things - like a puppet master controlling the puppet. Why else would we spend a fortune on something that is not worth a fraction of the price. I mean Nike trainers do not really empower one to be stronger or faster and Dolce Gabbana sunglasses do not make one any 'cooler' or 'in control' than one actually is, but we are happy to pay much more for them.

By the way the 'Luxottica' sunglasses factory in Italy makes 55 million pairs a year for many of the major brands (Channel, Burberry, Prada, Bvlgari, Tiffany, Versace, et al) with the same materials and on the same machines more often than not on the same day.

Really it is all about the perception of glamour or prestige to get you to buy 'stuff' - Ostentatious and Extravagant - like a Peacock - so you can say: "Look at me, I am so rich in resources I can just squander them, I have so much money my genes must be good to accumulate these resources. I must be intelligent and creative to have done so well ..... and thus highly desirable as a mate ... How about a fuck and lets pro-create".

Jeans - now they take us up to a whole new level of fakery, but we might leave that for part 2. In the meantime for those old enough to have forgotten.

Tight Skirts

A woman tried to board a bus but her skirt was so tight that she couldn't make the step up. 

So she reached behind her, lowered her zip and tried again. Still the skirt was too tight. So again she reached behind her, lowered her zip a little more and tried to negotiate the step. But still the skirt was too tight. 

Determined to catch this bus, she once more reached behind her, lowered the zip a little and attempted to climb aboard. Then suddenly she felt two hands on her butt, helping her on to the bus. 

She turned around angrily and told the man behind her: "Sir, I don't know you well enough for you to behave in such a manner." 

The man replied: "Lady, I don't know you well enough for you to unzip my fly three times either!"

The Make-Over

In dire need of a make-over, Nancy went to her salon with a fashion magazine photo of a gorgeous, young, lustrous model. 

She showed the stylist the trendy new cut she wanted and settled into the chair as he began humming a catchy tune and got to work on her thin, greying hair.

Nancy was delighted by his cheerful attitude until she recognised the melody.

It was the theme from ‘Mission Impossible.’

Models in Focus

Why do models always smile during lightning storms?

They think they’re getting their picture taken!
