High Fashion

I have already written my blog.  In it, I dissected the flaws of high fashion.  The "author" of this "newspaper" is trying to convince their audience that high fashion is practical and affordable, when all of the sudden they find themselves completely off track and listing accidents caused by high fashion and the people involved.  I want it to convince people that they are wasting their money on something they could otherwise get for a reasonable price.  And that, in addition, high fashion can just be dangerous.  Just look at the shoes when you go into a high end department store!  They are freaking insane.  One can only imagine all the problems that would be caused by those suckers: feet problems, leg problems, back problems.  I know, myself, how painful high heels are and try to subject myself to the pain as rarely as possible.  After taking high heels off after wearing them for an hour of two, your feet ache, you feel crippled, you want to lie down and have someone treat you to a foot massage.  But I must say, they are cute, and maybe that's the problem.  We're a society that's so obsessed with having expensive, designer crap, and I can blame myself along with everyone else.  I love high fashion and when I was writing this satire I was having fun making a joke of myself right along with all the other women who agree with me. 

Deep down, we know high fashion is a waste of money and that all those designer shoes are just an accident waiting to happen and I wanted to bring that idea forth and elaborate on our socities' obsession.  So here's a sneak peek: The other day, a designer by the name of Sergio Ashburn, released his much anticipated clothing line: Waterscape.  Women flocked to his new store in New York.  In fact, this clothing release was so popular that out of these 500 select housewives who were invited to the store’s opening, 15 were reported to have sustained minor injuries in the rush to get through the door.  Authorities say these injuries were caused by, “fake nails, porcelain veneers, and the use of force to rip fake eyelashes off of sensitive eye tissue leading to possible scars and loss of collagen in the area.”

  2. Haha i love where you are going with your essay (the sneak peek). The newspaper article is also a great way to get a third person's point of view on this whole situation. High fashion can definitely be made fun of and there are many directions you could take this. Maybe talk about people buying things but not wanting to wear them because they will get ruined?

  3. Jessi's idea about buying and not wearing is really good. I like what I got in the sneak preview, with my only issue being that those are pretty MAJOR injuries, not minor ones. I mean, the damage to those fake nails has to be pretty serious.
