The values, ethics, aesthetics, and priorities of those who work in Hollywood’s make up and costume sections are closer to core American values than the alien Hollywood fetish for their particular brand of beauty.

Hollywood essentially trains the actors as future ideological examples for the Leftist cause in the US. Even if you don’t start off impure, you become so the longer you stay with the Hollywood crowd.

Looking at one example of current Japanese aesthetics, it is much closer to 1950s American views than America in 2010.

How is it that a foreign nation has come to be closer to the US tradition than the US itself?

Hollywood, by controlling the standard of beauty, also controls people’s ethics and behavior. Or to put it another way around, that which is true or false, inevitably end up with consequential appearances that fit. Form follows function. Thus how things end up looking and people’s reactions to it, determine what their ideal of beauty is and informs you of what their purpose and functions are as well.

There was a time when elegance and grace was the norm. Only those who were cultivating a rebellious image would depart from the norm with some “shocking” faux-pas or other. But the faux-pas *is* now the norm.

Me? I expect any day now, at these awards ceremonies, to be confronted by the sight of a woman wearing a dress/gown with blinking neon bulbs placed over the nipples.

Modesty is about safety, strength, virtue, and future…
How many of us consciously recognized the deals that we were making when we started choosing what clothing we’d wear?
Don’t words such as these tell the world that ladies who harp on modesty are all about judgement?
Though I can understand how, if given the options, “You have to Laugh or Cry,” one might choose “Laugh.”
“Apparently they depend absolutely on others to dress them,” is a pretty insightful observation, though, I fear.

Maybe Anne thought the long mini skirt would thwart another flash of the camera that she treated us all to about a month ago. Talk about exposed private parts.

Me too Bookworm – black pants and colored tops – long pants in the winter – cropped in the summer. Wear until threadbare – toss and try to find the same style again. Look everywhere to find pants that actually reach my waist and don’t hang below the love handles.
These ladies aren’t ladies – they are sleazy – conditioned by culture to believe that exposed private parts reveal their feminity – instead it reveals their inner depravity.
Speaking of which, even Avon, which used to be a “family” business now has Fergie’s breasts on display in their latest bulletin.

What amazes me is how few of these lucky and beautiful actresses can make themselves look as beautiful as the most ordinary movie costume designer can do. They always look great in their film roles. Apparently they depend absolutely on others to dress them so as to show off their off-the-charts natural advantages. It’s also strange how often their posture is slumped in those celebrity shots, but they stand up straight in front of the movie cameras.
If one of those actresses appeared in a movie wearing one of those outfits, it would be obvious to the audience that it was intended as a comedy set piece about a costume gone wrong.
Myself, I have no natural beauty to exploit. I’ll wear any old thing until I tear it to pieces in the garden.

Bookworm, the color commentary was priceless. I am still laughing …”SAG” awards. They’re not so much dresses as they are costumes.
