You know what I'd like to see next? Burn victims modeling Victoria's Secret lingerie. Talk about HOTTIES.
Yes, the picture above is a FASHION photo.
The model has Down Syndrome.
The politicallly correct "fashionistas" have gotten so bored with bosomy, sexy women. Even Twiggy-type and Kate Moss "waif" type models and "plus size" fatties can't entice people to buy over-priced frocks. The way to shake things up is to get a freak on.
So to speak.
In this age where the fat and ugly Kardashians are on EVERY beauty magazine cover, it's no surprise to find the next big attraction to be Jamie, who stars on something called "American Horror Story."
No, it's not the story of Bruce and Kris Jenner.
I don't watch crap television, so I'm not sure just WHAT the fucking show is about. But clearly, it's not enough that "challenged" people can be useful for certain movie or TV roles. It's not enough that some dwarf is now considered a sex-symbol by people who love to watch fantasy show garbage, especially if some dumb bitch bares her boobs ever fifteen minutes to distract us from bad dialogue, dopey fake dragons, endless sword play, and a dinky dwarf.
According to the "fashionista" who hired this woman to promote her new line of garments, "American Horror Story is dark, scary, bewitching so we had to go with black and Jamie has a beautiful body with a teeny waist and curves and we went with an A-line."
OK, she also has a Horror Story face, IF I'M BEING HONEST.
It's nice that we've gotten away from the Barbie doll view of women, right? Let's not fantasize about role models who transform, like Cinderella, into a princess. Little girls might do better with lower expectations, and get a doll that's a fat pig like Rosie O'Donnell or Adele. The old fashioned notions of beauty should be replaced with the truth of reality, which is that most people are stupid looking, and the fanciest dress in the world is not going to change that fact.
Oh, except the point of using this woman as a fashion model is to pretend a fancy dress can make up for being homely. As long as milady wears a beautiful gown, nobody will notice that she's a beast. You do know, that you can simply wear a budget dress and use that free grocery bag from Tesco to put over your head, lady?
My main gripe is that the "fashionista" didn't go with a more severe Down Syndrome case, one that can barely walk and drool. Why is she discriminating? Why is she suggesting that severe Down Syndrome women are not to be seen, the same way light-skinned black women get more modeling jobs than actually dark black women?
How about a woman with 50 shades of pus pimples? As long as we don't care if the face is homely, how about featuring women who have bad skin? Look, people who have bad skin shouldn't have to hide it because of false ideals about beauty.
And why give all the ads to a jerk like Beckham? Why not reward a loser who never scored a goal, and give HIM the millions to model a t-shirt or a brand of shoe? Isn't the point that we embrace reality and human failings and reject fantasy ideals when it comes to role models?
How about giving up time on the Grammy Awards for people who can't sing? Shouldn't the term "pitchy" be outlawed from "The Voice" and those "Idol" shows? Shouldn't we all follow the lead of David Walliams on "Britain's Got Talent," and ONLY pick the most inept dancers, the most off-key singers, and the most unfunny comedians?
Why the discrimination that prevents illiterates from being editors anywhere except the London Daily Mail?
Have I gone too far?
I didn't mean to.
I was just as happy as YOU were when homely fat Susan Boyle dazzled the the world with her beautiful voice.
But the big picture is that this is wrong. Hopefully in 2015, a vocal contest winner will be a homely fat woman with a LOUSY voice. How...EMPOWERING. It's letting the world know, "Nobody's perfect."
Let's reject perfection.
For example, what's this horrible fascination with cleanliness?
Not everyone can afford to launder their clothes, or pay for soap wasted on a daily shower. Let's have a "Second Hand Clothing Fashion Week," with stinky models wearing old tat from the thrift shops, including hats made out of 45 rpm records "that did not chart."
Once we put right the fashion world, let's move on to other areas, like cuisine.
Hire the chef who finished last in his class to run a 4 star restaurant. Let him whip up a dish of half-burnt and over-salted spam. Have it brought to your table by a waiter with one leg who is on crutches. Sure, it might take a little extra time for him to reach your table, but let's get over this "perfection" rubbish.
Christ, all I can tell you is the lady sitting next to me at the Down Syndrome fashion show was ALMOST going to buy that ghoulish outfit modeled by the appalling-looking woman. "Yes, I would've bought that thing," she told me. "But...I'm not THAT stupid."
