[Hemingway's Ghost]

Can we please stop with this homosexual nonsense. The vast majority of every day women are not heroin thin. That and nobody forces them to buy the clothes or look the part. If any woman does it's because she chooses to. Plenty of straight men like thin girls. That and there are plenty of curvy women out there.

I have no problem with homosexuals or homosexuality. I'm merely making an observation about an obvious, observable fact: many clothes designers are homosexual men. Do you dispute that homosexual men are attracted to men, and that their design ideas might be skewed to what they're most attracted to?

Or that the design ideas of this cadre of top-level NY designers influences clothes design everywhere? Or that it drives the high fashion industry, and thus fuels the high fashion media, or that women like to wear the latest, trendiest, nicest clothes?

If the homosexual clothing designers did not design clothing that women found attractive, women would not buy it. Women like the clothing.

Contrast this with the homosexual inspired male clothing that you see in GQ, Maxxim et. al. How many straight guys do YOU see (outside of NYC, LA, and SF) walking around in things like leather pants and shirts with ruffles? Even in NYC it's not THAT common. Straight men (generally) don't like wearing those types of clothes.

Homosexuals and women have similar taste in clothing. How many guys can attest to their girlfriends/wives coaxing them in to wearing more outlandish and/or exotic fare? The way homo designers design clothing and their attraction to men have nothing to do with one another.

Youre right on the money. Fashion designers prefer little boys and wish the world to prefer them too. If there was a PC Cleaver of the Day award, Id vote for you.
