Fashion Dies a slow-miserable-death!

*** (that slow-death headline might just be wishful thinking on my part) -- I've grown to hate that word fashion -- good, 'got that out the way.

Okay, hate is a strong word for how I feel about it. Let's just say it's invaded my house at night -- ('nuff said) -- and that makes me happy to watch other people take-a-piss-all-over fashion --(and maybe It'll put a few bitches in the poor house that need it).

In my perfect world I would hope for an new era in Fashion -- where function and sensibility beats over style and drama -- maybe that would give us some common ground when it comes to style -- yeah, call me a bit of dreamer.

“The only way you can possibly make it through, darling, is to face reality,” said Kenny Kenny (fashionista and club kid), “Fabulousness only goes so far.”

Right there (someone is starting to sound smart to me) -- Fabulousness only goes so far -- somebody give that kid a donut....'let's hope more common sense is just ahead...
