    You have to understand where I am coming from.  As a child in the 60s and a teenager in the 70s, I remember being astonished at the fantasy fashion spreads in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.  The models I grew up with were Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Verushka, Marisa Baronsen, Lauren Hutton, etc.  Diana Vreeland was Empress of Fashion.  Fashion in those days was serious business; the outward changes of fashion reflected the gains women were making in society.  Miniskirts represented freedom, pantsuits showed we could compete with the boys at work without having to play the sex card.  The models were identifiable young women with distinct personalities.  Our real world style icons were women like Jackie Kennedy-Onassis and Bianca Jagger.  Beverly Johnson broke the color barrier for the first time in fashion.  Those were heady times to be young and impressionable.  But you know, I never wanted to be a fashion model.  Those fantasy clothes and fashion shoots inspired my desire to be creative in my own right.  I didn't sit in front of the TV at 12 watching some "I wanna be a model" program.  No, I was busy writing poetry and short stories, creating dances and learning to play music.  The sky was the limit and our creativity was the key to the future.  If you compare that with today, you must see why I feel dismayed.  There is truly nothing to emulate about the girls who become models these days.  I just don't understand why so many girls think this is something aspire to.  Rather than being the key to a better future, for most of these girls this path is just a Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

    Steven, none, and I mean, none of the girls being promoted today holds any attraction for me whatsoever.  There are days when I open up fashion mags and wish they would just put a bag on the heads of the girls so I didn't have to look at one more vapid, blank staring face.  So tired of the heroin addict look, too.  These girls look unhealthy, many of them are unhealthy, and they seem to be blank canvases on which nothing is being painted.  What a waste, for these girls and for the young girls who idolize them.  What happened to girls wanting to be creative and out in the world making things happening, rather than wanting to become these blank-looking husks?

    Why this worship of fashion models?  The girls aren't attractive to look at (so tired of all those anorexic bodies), with the exception of Agyness show no perceptible personality, and promote a freaky, totally bizarre body image.  Is this all that teenage girls aspire to in this day and age?  So sad.
