Feels Like I’m Wearing Nothing At All
The other day my buddy Andrew Yeager was flipping through the TV and he came across a TV show called, “Who are you wearing?”, which sparked a hot debate that I would like to continue here…
I can’t stress HOW much I dislike shows like this. I mean honestly, what the eff are television producers thinking putting crap like that out there? What bothers me the most is that people actually watch them and that’s the whole reason why they even exists in the first place. Everyone that is into shows like this needs to be placed in one big area with all their fancy name brand clothes dumped on top of them to be used as kindle to light them all on fire.
If you are not familiar with the term, “Who are you wearing?”, it’s usually asked at award ceremonies (Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys etc) by these over the top reporters to celebrities about what brand name of clothing they are wearing. All of this is as you know VERY important because all of middle class America is dying to know how the rich and famous dress. Skip that. They even dedicate full hour long programs after these ceremonies on people just critiquing everyone’s style of clothes using the name of the designers as the anchor point to go off of.
At what point did the name on the back of an effing tag gain so much significance? Who the freak cares? I mean, who are these people to judge anyone just because of WHO made a particular shirt or a specific pair of jeans. Don’t you know everything is being made from the same source? It all just goes back to a bunch of underpaid, overworked children in some seat shop back in China. All they do is stamp a different name using some sucky font on THE SAME PRODUCT and ship it here for over 9000 times the cost it took to make and we just eat it up. If clothes is so important than why did God in the beginning intend on us being naked?
Wake up America. Stop being such tools. The only time I can EVER possibly find the term “Who are you wearing?” relevant in a sentence and would allow it is if you ran into Buffalo Bill or Ed Gein. You know, that crazy serial killer who inspired such movies as; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho.
Other than that, just stop.
On last thing. My real good friend Clayton Prete acted in part of movie called House of Fears that was directed by Ryan Little. He’s the one that made the movie Saints and Soldiers and is coming out with a new movie called Forever Strong with Sean Astin and Neal McDonough (the bad guy in Walking Tall).
The movie was shot in the Rocky Point Haunted House and is about these people that go into the haunted house for fun but their worst fears end up coming alive and start killing them off. Clay was in the end of the movie. It was shot from the kids perspective as if they were filming it themselves. Watch the clip. Go Clay!

I am so cool.

haaaaaaaaaaaa. I’m sorry that I like that part of grammy’s! I’m sorry that I like fashion! It is art in my eyes. Even Coco Chanel said.. “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”… Actually, I don’t like the word fashion. TO me the definition of Fashion is… fashion is somehting that fades away. fashionable things are destined to become unfashionable. so let’s use the term style shall we?
your incredible and I love the ground you walk on.
you owned that blog like a little red headed ______. love Paul
clayton you are. :)
watch this:

no real significance, or relevence, just fun ad-lib
Ha, thats funny Mag, but you know thats so different. For example with directors, whos making it really does matter. Theres a huge difference between people like Spielberg and Jason Friedberg (the homo who makes all those parody movies) or Scorsese and Ratner. Some can actually film and others just suck and fill this world with even more filth.
but then compare wal mart’s clothing line to armani, big difference
p.s. Jason Friedberg needs to die
very good point mag, about the walmat vs armani… i dont know really how to come back from that but ya…
yesssss!!!!
I agree with your point on who cares what label is in your clothes for normal life clothes. Brand name means nothing to me with clothing. But the awards shows are a different thing. Those dresses are specially made by designers specifically for those actresses bodies for that special occasion. They weren’t shipped in from China and bought off the rack at the mall. So, yeah, the hype is annoying and all that, but the fashion is why alot of people even watch (although I couldn’t care less myself). There… it had to be said. :-)
haha fair enough!
