catalogue girl

writing as I go

catalogue girl

where is your twirl

catwalk girl

where is your picture

photograph man

where is your heart

please be kind

and take me 

mould me

straighten my picture

tighten my curls

pounce my lips

gentle my hips

give me blue eyes

even though they are brown

blush where I need it

highlight my bones

lighten my load

and keep me at negatives distance

I'm catalogue girl

just a pearl in your crown

I'm catwalk girl

just a pawn in your collection

catalogue and catwalk girl

we have to make the crowds swirl

I see where you are coming from with this excellent write; but there is a subliminal side to fashion we may not be aware underlines its purpose! Henry James, born in 1841, was the first American psychologist to illuminate the notion of Fashion Psychology in both lectures and writings. The ultimate impact and value of applying psychology to fashion goes beyond what we wear. The fashion industry is an important global industry worth more than 26 billion pounds (38 billion US dollars) in the UK alone. I love your word play here and the subtle metaphorical use of the subject matter – nicely penned! :-)

All show but who are they really? The cover is all you see. Nice write

Yes- so true! But not much true about those retouched photos. They walk the catwalk with diamond dog collars around their necks. “We have to make the crowds swirl”- sold to the highest bidder! Love this!

The camera never lies. Though now and again you would think it would tell a few fibs. I always wonder, when i see people taking selfies. Do they have to keep going, till they get the perfect one.

' I'm catwalk girl - just a pawn in your collection'

Cleverly put, brief phrases, almost akin to pressing buttons, clicking shutters and the means of capturing what there isn't but will be.. when instead of the knife to neaten the mess, the mess is made for free.

You know how it goes.. or if not, have more than acute observation of the Business!

i guess beauty will always last on paper,and it is sad when we get older and feel like we have lost that beauty

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

I don't feel sad I'm more comfy in my old skin now than when I was 22 and size 8 lol

air brush the beauty outside, maybe....but the inside beauty is what really counts...and that is what it is...
can't brush that away if the heart is cold.

One of the most attractive traits in a woman, for me anyway, is her being happy in her own skin. So many look at the stick thin models and wrongly think that this the norm rather than the opposite.
Thought provoking and a whole heap of truth
