ooh lala
naked torsos.
makes me think bout the irony of the female body in our social context. for years, we've had multiple organisations campaigning that it's ok to be a little fat. how can that possibly take off when modelling and fashion industries including non-living things like mannequins still conform to the accepted "perfect" form of a wo-man with its flat abs, slim thighs and slender arms (plus big boobs)?
i'm not against any industry for doing so cos honestly, fabrics and clothes do look better on people with less bulk. but why all that pretense saying that its ok to be fat when its really not ok? did karl lagerfeld not lose half his size and gotten praised for looking better than ever? i love that man, he's the maestro (plus john galliano).
maybe i should blog an article written three years ago on superficiality.

Ah Ha! But male mannequins do not possess the great Wonk Rod!
Which would explain the consistent B-cupped female mannequins out there.
Female equality and what not, ya?
And please don't forget the decapitated mannequins staring at you with their "perfect" bodies too.
Fair's fair.

Those oblong pecs result from abusing Styrofoam Steroids, I tell you!
I demand a pee test!
Erm, wait. They don't have Wonk Rods to pee from right?
OH THE EMASCULATILY!
