God Bless America
About Me
- Webutante
- United States
- I'm a southern Christian conservative with a degree in civil & environmental engineering and a passion for the truth of God's Word, writing, hiking, investing, fly fishing, cooking and the great outdoors. My favorite tech invention = spellcheck. There are no such things as rights without responsibility, a free lunch, cheap grace, man-made climate change, successful government engineering, or figuring out when life begins. We're hurling towards the abyss with only One Life-Line: it's not botox, a "living" Constitution, celebrity president, or making nice with our dark enemies.. Meanwhile, God gave us His Word, His Son, Grace Upon Grace, family/friends and the greatest country in the world to live--if we can keep it .Comments are closed but you can email me at: webutante07 at gmail dot com. Thanks for coming by and be sure to view this in the 'web' version at the bottom.

I, also, have enjoyed the fun change of pace of the asymmetric designs - such as in your last highlights of Michelle Obama.
At a primal level, and a mostly unconscious level, a man experiences a dress as an engineering problem: how to disrobe the robed human? Asymmetric dresses offer a sort of invitation: tear the dress off in this direction. I am speaking of a fanciful element of fashion: a subtle element, a subtext to fashion - mostly unconscious, yet there. IMO. Fashion is fanciful. The dress does not, literally, instruct us in how to remove it. And the dress would not be fun if it did. Yet, the dress usually does make a fanciful hint re disrobing. That is part of the fun; of the allure.
Good points, Greg.
I'm no man and so the allure is not the same, however, in this case wondering if this dress doesn't make a man want to back off and go to the next more appealing challenge?
"next most appealing challenge" Heh.
Marc Barnes, at Patheos, wrote a thought provoking (for me) analysis of beauty vs. pornography. Gwyneth's dress reminds me of the distinctions which Mr. Barnes highlighted. The dress, at minimum, lacks "Claritas", which means true radiance. The dress is also missing
"Consonantia", which means harmony with its surroundings. The dress would fit more appropriately inside a Victoria's Secret lingerie show. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/badcatholic/2011/10/the-best-porn-in-the-world.html
