The Places and Spaces of Fashion, 1800-2007 brings together art, design, fashion, and a much neglected concern for its spatial realities. The spaces and places of fashion have often been overlooked in the writing of fashion history and visual culture. More often than not, however, these environments mitigate, control, inform, and enhance how fashion is experienced, performed, consumed, seen, exhibited, purchased, appreciated and of course displayed. Space, as this volume attempts to illustrate, is itself a representational strategy on par with and influencing the visibility and visuality of fashion. Innovative and challenging, the essays in this volume explore various physical and conceptual spaces,! moving from physical environments to the two-dimensional with paintings, illustrations, and photographs to chart similarities, differences, and complex nuanced relationships between environments, fashion, identities, and visuality. The volume also navigates various sites (both permanent and temporary) of production, circulation, exhibition, consumption, and promotion of fashion that define meaning and knowledge about a culture or individual by providing for a bond between embodied consumers/spectators and fashion objects. The Places and Spaces of Fashion, 1800-2007 is a compelling project with a thematic, theoretical, and historiographic approach that is at once both focused yet far-reaching and original in its implications. The volume engages with questions attending to the ‘modern condition’ by seamlessly weaving interdisciplinary discussions of the visual with material culture to explore the spatial dimension(s) of fashion. Some of the essays explore new and exciti! ng spaces while others offer compelling revisionary analyses o! f relati vely known sources
When Rose-Petal and her garden friends plan a fashion show, Nastina the spider is determined to ruin it.When most guys see a model walking down the street, they see her as the only thing that exists in that moment... the only stunning, hot beauty for miles around. And, they are usually right. Models can be that hot, and they can steamroll over all the other women in the area, for miles around - as far as physical beauty is concerned.Being a model is not a walk in the park. Most of them have to work their asses off, often without pay, in order to build up a portfolio worthy of submitting to those modeling agencies. Trying to make it (or even survive) in this business is not easy for most of them.
If they're not doing a photo shoot, they are going to castings or looking for additional castings that they could go to. In other words, they're almost always busy working (often for free,) or they are busy looking for more work.
Have you ever been in-between jobs where all you seemed to be doing was looking for job openings, sending out resumes, or going to interviews? Yeah, it's kinda like that for many models.
As a result, many models are often over-worked, under-paid, they are stressed, trying to make ends meet... and on top of all that, they have to always maintain the look of perfection physically... all while having to deal with a never-ending hoard of bozos trying to hit on them.
Knowing all of this stuff about her life with help you to stop doing what most guys do when they see a model...which is to see her as a perfect angel descended from heaven, with the perfect life to go along with it.
This book from top selling author Eddie Strickland, (Get Her Back - Attract, Seduce & Keep The Woman Of Your Dreams, A Nice Guy’s Guide to Finding the Ideal Woman, Laugh Her Into Bed: How To Use Humor To Attract Women and many more) will show you just how and where t! o meet, pick up and date models for a hot date or a long relat! ionship.
