I us...Is that spread supposed to sell clothes, Nyc? I used to look at Vogue sometimes in the U.S. when there would be a copy in the gym and I'd be catching my breath between sessions on the Stairmaster, but I just couldn't relate to the whole zeitgeist behind it. It was like trying to understand German humour. Can't wrap my head around it.<BR/><BR/>I've never worked in a rehab centre, but I did pull a lot of shifts in a "crisis stabilization unit" (i.e. "freakout ward") in Florida. Most of the clients were schizophrenics or old people who had become unmanageable due to dementia. They'd wig out, someone would call the cops, they'd bring them to the CSU, and we'd get them on enough meds to straighten them out or send them to hospital.<BR/><BR/>We did get a fair number of people the same age as the models in that Vogue shoot. Cocaine psychosis, anorexia, suicide attempts, early onslaught of schizophrenia -- you seem to have been inside the medical system, you've seen the types. They were not anywhere close to as glamourous as those models. Where's the greasy hair, the zits, the obesity? Where's the sound, the incoherent angry yelling or the self-pitying whining?<BR/><BR/>Ah well, it's a fashion mag, not reality. And Italian fashionistas like to push the limits. Look at the Bennetton ads. But where do they go from here -- Rwanda genocide fashion spreads? Clothes that look nice when you've been hacked to pieces with machetes?Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763850.post-53331914231923586822007-08-13T20:34:00.000+01:002007-08-13T20:34:00.000+01:00that's hilarious...with an irony that is guarantee...that's hilarious...<BR/><BR/>with an irony that is guaranteed to be lost on most 13 year old girls.<BR/><BR/>...thank god the European chicks aren't as dumb as the ones in North America<BR/><BR/><EM>"<A HREF="http://thiscanadian.typepad.com/this_canadian/2007/07/tylenol-is-made.html" REL="nofollow">Tylenol is Made with Love"</A></EM><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://thiscanadian.typepad.com/this_canadian/2007/06/on-the-take-med.html" REL="nofollow">On The Take: Medical Ethics.</A><BR/><BR/><BR/><I>Spread Love...<BR/> ... but wear the Glove!</I><BR/><BR/><B>BlueBerry Pick'n</B><BR/>can be found @<BR/><A HREF="http://www.ThisCanadian.com" REL="nofollow">ThisCanadian</A><BR/><BR/><I>"Silent Freedom is Freedom Silenced"</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
