“I Love A Bit Of Fashion Me!”
Posted by admin in General
“I love a bit of fashion, me”: you know that anyone who says that probably loves a bit of fashion a bit too much. And these alleged (dangerous to know) fashion lovers are everywhere.

The orange beach towel is a good example of a modern day eye-saw which is permitted. Why is it permitted? Easy to answer: cheap and brightly coloured beach towels are available for cheap and by the hundred. Same goes for everything in this western world that is mass produced.

It’s a problem we will probably always be lumbered with: our eyes bigger than our bellies, the part of our brains which says “hang on a minute, this looks rubbish, do you really want to buy this crap?” is blocked from view. And what happens is that we end up looking like a bunch of clowns who’ll buy anything, any time.
