Don't Be Cruel

I love fashion and I look forward to red carpets as I would guess sports fans look forward to the Superbowl/world series/NBA finals.  And the fashion world is very cruel.  I guess not any crueler than fans/sports announcers tearing the goalie to pieces cause he let one ball in or the basketball player who misses a shot.

I just read this article by comedian Sarah Millican regarding the attack she received on Twitter about her red carpet look at the BAFTAS.  And good for her. 

I think fashion should be a tool to enhance, to build confidence.  Something that we do for ourselves to feel like a princess or as if we can take on the world (whatever you are going for at the moment).  It certainly shouldn't be something that you are judged on.

Not everyone can wear the same look and I think we should dress to our body type.  What looks beautiful on one person will not look the same on someone else.  And regardless of your body type there are clothes that enhance your natural beauty.

I looked up the picture (below) and had every intention to post it regardless of what I thought about the dress.  However I have to say that I think she looks beautiful.  It's a great dress and I don't know what the big fuss was all about.  But regardless of the dress and fit why does anyone think they have the right to insult someone on Twitter for the way they look.  WTF?

I guess this struck a nerve for me because of all the rude remarks I see/hear all the time.  From comments below a news story that attack the families of someone who may have fallen on hard times or been in some sort of accident to the criticism of celebrities and how they look and everything they do.  Who the hell do you think you are to say such terrible things about anyone?  Who the hell are you and what have you done to make this a better world?

I hope that I never change my mind but my posts will be about what I love.  If I don't like it I will look away and move on.
