A digression upon the ludicrous and shallow posts of Pinterest: A polite essay

This day I have since been ire-struck on a certain description on Pinterest and then, summarily cogitating, considering changing my Goodreads status, Google+ posts, until finally I figured: "Oh, wait. Why do I have a blog?"
The answer, of course, Dear Reader, is to rant about things that annoy me! There are sundry. At present the chief offender is thus:
"Photography trick: women with no hips strike this pose to give them curves. The great camel color is all bonus points."
Look. At. That. The practice of photography is a very fine habit and profession, but it is a nascent notion to myself that even that can be pervaded by fashion and "beautifying". Millions upon millions of dollars are wasted by millions of people for the procreation of oft supercilious clothing - if indeed you can say some things are worthy of that name! - and the vile degradation and starvation of many "models" solely for the purpose of one culture's standard of beauty. Whilst plenty of starvation, mal nourishment, and illness exists in the world at large, Africa, China, slums of every country?
It is doubtless that all for of humanity events necessitate a distraction, whether it be Hollywood, literature, or another form of media. However, is it requisite to encourage a base fashion?

Nota bene. This is solely created to express the author's thoughts on a personally abhorred trend of some fashions, although she does subscribe to some fashions(though not such featuring an ill "model" or a particularly inane article!) on the regarded time-waster Pinterest. It is solely meant to reflect one single feature of the fashion franchise.

I close with the acknowledgement that I, and many, do try to look good. Discouraging style is admittedly ridiculous. I hold that, videlicet, a person's best fashion is a smile, book, and correct carriage. Namely, that is. Not totally.

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
