Trinket Box

----> Okay, this might sound severe, but I'm only talking about a small minority here ;)


I guess I've had a slight interest in magazine editorials recently, and on finding the website "fashion gone rogue", it has broadened my understanding quite a bit. A lot of hits and misses for sure, but it's sure amazing to find that one editorial that is really impressing.

They also had a comments box at the bottom where members could post their opinions. Only ever accustomed to the nice or appropriately critical responses of the blogs I had been following before, it came quite much as a shock. The shallowness and the bluntness of some of the comments were quite staggering. "Oh, shame that weird face", "I liked it until I saw her hands-looks like a construction worker", "the photographer is so overrated"...etc

But in saying so, whenever a popular face pops up, comments were almost entirely unanimously positive.

I'm not so shocked with negative comments about the clothes, because if anything, that's what it's supposed to be about. (And it's usually true-)

I reckon it's the narrow-mindedness (positive or negative) of the comments directed at the models and occassionally the photographer, that I hate. How could they let that overshadow how good/bad the actual design is? Often too, others let their opinions be bent easily and follow the one that shouts loudest.


A pretty damn hard industry. I feel sorry for the models sometimes.
