"No" is a complete sentence, and believe it or not, so is "go fuck yourself".

What's the purpose of fashion shows? A lot of these are never going to be used for practical life.



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

So it's basically a circus.

Certain people go to extremes for attention, especially rich people and celebrities.  Attention can be good for their social standing and careers, as a kind of advertising. Fashion caters to such people. Then there are also the artsy types who are looking for weird ways to "express themselves."

Of course others try to avoid attention.

Well, it’s for a very particular customer base: wealthy narcissists who aren’t concerned about practicality.

So…yeah.

I tend to know bullshit when I hear it, especially when it comes from management. They love their apologetics more than a zealot.
