What or who makes the ”Fashion Police” the voice of class and taste in dress?
Usually around award time (OK just about any time) you have all the pundits turning out to point out how this celeb or that created a fashion faux pas. To me I find it rather comical especially with a nation so caught up with sex and displays of flesh get bent out of shape because so-in-so showed up wherever in something sheer and revealing or with too much leg or mid riff showing. But I wonder what are those who are blasting celebs wearing? Are they walking out of the building looking as they are putting on the Ritz each moment they are seen in public? If not I think they should attend to their own glass house before tossing stones elsewhere no matter if it is at some pompous celeb or John Q on the street. What qualifications do they have to tell all of us what good or bad fashion is?

Equal parts insanity, classism, and drugs.
I have wondered this myself. But, you know, I guess fashion has to be started at some place by somebody. Its like new laws. They have a starting place and finally make it to Congress for approval. The same applies to fashion and the clothes we wear.
I really think this is funny to a degree. I have some skinny mens ties from the 60s, that I have been saving. Fashion has a way of repeating itself and I am waiting until my skinny mens ties comes back again.
Another example is the fashion in automobiles. Lets be truthful here, you can only design an automobile so far, with four tires and a body. Some of the autos today are reverting in design back to the 50s and 60s. It’s like songs. Remakes of the oldies are more numerous each day.
History repeats itself and fashion clothes are no exception. Save your minny skirts. Before you turn 40, they will be popular again.
What goes around, comes around.
We do. The more attention you give them, the more power they have.
Do you watch the show What Not to Wear? I’m embarrassed by that manhost’s clothes sitting in my living room. So taste is in the eye of the beholder for sure. I’m 56 and am smiling as my daughters do their hair in styles that were popular when I was 8 or 10, and my clothes are coming back. There are only so many ways to make clothes, too.
If Land’s End doesn’t sell it, I don’t own it (or the Target or consignment equivalent).

You don’t have to be Toni Morrison to know Stephenie Meyer is a shit writer. You don’t have to be Billy Wilder to know Ed Wood sucked. You don’t have to be a Newman to rail against the musical travesty that is auto-tune. And you don’t have to wear Westwood or McQueen to know what does and does not look good on other people.
The sheeple who can’t make any choice on their own.
