Why I Hate The Guardian

'Put simply, I hate fashion. I scowl at Harper's. I snarl at W. I spit at Vogue. Sometimes, I tear them up, these glossy pages full of anorexic ­children – part human, part makeup, part ­computer program – just because I'm worth it. Then I put a colander on my head.' - Tanya Gold, The Guardian

After reading the link from Tavi's post to the article 'Why I hate fashion', I was shocked.
How could someone be so disrespectful, arrogant and rude!
I know everyone has their oppinions about the fashion world, and I agree with the part from the extract above talking about anorexic people.
There is too much fake in the fashion world, we need real!

One part though, that I find slightly disturbing is this:
'I read that a 16-year-old girl wearing high-heeled shoes had fallen between the carriages of a train in West Sussex. She died, of course. It was snowing that night, but still this young woman, with a lifetime of fashion choices before her, ran along that platform and is now dead. And I couldn't help suspecting that had she been wearing a shoe designed for movement, rather than to push her breasts out and her pelvis forward, she would be alive'.

When I read that part my jaw dropped.
The way she has worded it makes out that the life lost was worth it, because it was her choice to wear high heels.
Its just disgraceful!

Later, Tanya Gold says 'I can look at the clothes on the catwalk now and laugh at their imbecility. They are not for me. I still think about that young woman on the train tracks, though. What did she pay for her shoes?'

Now that just backs up what I said a few lines up.

She obviously has no respect for those who love fashion and want to express themselves through it.

Oh yeah, I also noticed most of the comments to her article have 'been removed by moderator' which is her, as it was her article.
