Someone becomes a supermodel when her agent and public relations people think they can get away with using the term. $$$

I happened to be looking at People magazine the other day. Got a look at the glamorous starlets. Those in evening wear looked like they had got drenched and had gone to the premier anyway. Those in casual wear looked like mental patients, dressed in worn-out garments in crazy combinations.

Why is it that American middle-class youth are probably the most spent-upon and pushed-forward in the world, yet the boys dress like neglected children (oversize, droopy shirts and slacks) and the girls dress like wandering mental patients?

Before everybody jumps on me, I don't mean all of them! I mean the ones that are held up as examples of what's "in"

It's not just Americans, either. In Reykjavik the DH and I passed the actual store where you can get your mental-patient ensemble. Apparently, there are buyers who don't trust themselves to get it wrong, just as there are buyers who don't trust themselves to get it right.

FYI: generous breasts and thin bodies do not occur together naturally.
