Silly Matty,
I love the UK. I have no tolerance for some who gleefully attack the USA, acting like they have a superior society on their little island. Fact is that everything you attack them for can be found on your island or someplace in your EU. The American fashion industry is a fun target for the likes of you. Gleefully looking down you pointy nose and blaming for some of the woes women face. Yet the truth is that industry usually follows the leads of your London and your Paris. Yet you won't address that truth because it means bringing some blame right home to your little island. You refuse to see the picture. But thankfully a monkey on a rock can see the whole picture and knows the difference between your chicken shit and chicken salad. Thanks again LBJ for those words you left us with.
Except, JC, fashion does not necessarily mean simply
haute couture.
Fashion refers to all kinds of social influences, trends and activities which take hold of and begin to determine the behaviour of people. I'll give you two examples - and both of these have originated from the USA.
1 The use of internet-based social messaging systems such as Facebook and Twitter which can be used by inadequate individuals to secretly bully other people.
2 The fashion - for that is what it is - of treating the removal of pubic hair as normal. This is a practice which has been created by the pornography industry: because people in porn have no pubic hair (to give the punters a better view) teenage girls (and boys) believe it to be the norm for all people. People who retain their pubic (and other body hair) are weird and unhygienic.
These are the sorts of
fashion influence this thread is concerned with, not Paris and London. And these fashion influences affect the ways in which teenage girls are forced to present themselves.
Why don't you ask your monkey on its rock for advice on the content of your contributions before you post them? It is possible you wouldn't end up looking too funny.
