Boobs and Butts?
I don’t know how it’s like in other countries, but when Norwegian newspapers like VG write about fashion, all there is to it is a lot of boobs and butts. They never care about the clothes, but if there’s a nipple showing you know you will read a big story about it the next day. The stories won’t even say what designer made the clothes! I was planning on writing a post about Oslo Fashion Week, but most of the pictues I could find were close-ups on butts, and I wasn’t even able to find out who had designed the garments covering the butts.
I once wrote a mail to a newspaper complaining about this. The answer I got was just about making fun of me, cause “you can’t have a clue what fashion is all about”. Am I wrong to be more interested in the clothes than in the bodies of the models?
To illustrate what I’m talking about I found some examples from articles named something like “Revealing in Bangkok” and so on:
A butt at Oslo Fashion Week (no mention of the designer).
Boobs at Oslo Fashion Week (still no mention of the designer).
And at last another pair of boobs at Bangkok Fashion Week (again no mention of the designer).
That’s Norway…
Great blog! :)
