Yay! Deborah's Leads

I kind of wrote them in the wee hours of the morning so...if they don't make any sense, I apologize. BUT here you go anyways:


LEAD NUMERO UNO:  
When one commonly thinks of the art community the images brought to mind might be ones of paintings, pottery or perhaps the occasional statue somewhat lacking in the clothing department. An area of the creative world that seems to be left out in the cold many times by the art world is the fashion industry, who instead of getting the welcome it deserves by people, is instead labeled with adjectives such as “superficial” and “shallow”. However, these words could not be farther from the truth.

LEAD NUMERO DOS:   
A young girl wanders aimlessly around her neighborhood as the dim light of late afternoon slowly sinks below the horizon. She is on her way back from school, where she has just spent the past several hours fighting through another day of her academic career. Upon entering her house, and, later bedroom, she realizes her mother has thrown away all of her clothes and replaced them with potato sacks with arm holes. She asks her mother, why? Why would you do this? The response comes, her mother states that she has just finished watching a television special warning parents of the risks of letting children worry too much about their appearance. The girl is shocked, she would never use fashion in such a vain way! She spirals downward in a fit of dismay. Her saddness grows, until she can no longer take all the labels put on the fashion industry and explodes, turning into a shower of shoes with no pairs.

            This my friends is the horror that awaits many if we do not embrace the fashion industry and begin to see it as a true art form. A wonderful form of self expression and great communication tool.

 LEAD NUMERO TRES:

Fashion is art you can wear. It’s practical and full of potential. So why, may I ask, do so many people think of clothing as something superficial? As an area only the vainest of people trying to show their social hierarchy dapple in? These assumptions could not be farther from the truth! Clothing and design is a way for one to get rid of their creative angst, to show the world that they matter and want to be someone. To show the world that they care.

So...yeah.
