As Another World Turns

If you love the world of fashion, this flick will probably turn you on.

As someone who wouldn't know a stiff neck from a v-neck, the whole thing to me is a puzzle: how in the world did designing and distribution of ultra-chic garments become a multi-grillion-dollar multinational industry? It brings in more than $30 billion (!!) in New York City alone. Are there really that many vacuous women out there who will buy a dress for the equivalent price of financing a war, wear it once to draw 'ooohs' of envy from others, then quickly discard it and move on? Obviously, there are.

I found this flick depressing. Watching it, I realized that fashion consists of two kinds of human alienation: those in the industry who seem oblivious to the outside world, and those in the outside world (like me) who can't believe that these people really exist. But they do, and the successful ones rake in obscene amounts of money. Top models earn upwards of $30-40 million a year just to strut. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of millions of people on earth who can't even buy food, let alone clothes.

I thought this flick would at least have some sexy babes, until I realized that most female models are sexless, which is what they're apparently supposed to be. They look like, and symbolically are, mannequins that move.

Anyway, if this exercise in lunatical excess is for you, the film is a good one, I guess.
