Re: Project Runway: What's Mine is Yours
These are nothing but stupid exercises by amateurs with absolutely no sense of class or style. Quite frankly, I am tired of seeing everything used as an excuse for a "tits & ass" show. If this is what's "in style" or a reflection of the future, then America has been flushed down the toilet. I was scribbling better stuff than this on my junior high notebooks. Threads needs to grow up and clean up its act 'cause I don't think I can stand this pathetic excuse for "garments" much longer. I suggest people start checking out the designs & lines in garments put together in old films - now that is style! - shows the female form with respect, class, and good taste. What Threads is displaying is nothing but gutter trash. Shame on Threads. Despite the media hype and bombardment, the truth is, most women don't want to look like whores, and their husbands and loved ones don't want them to look like whores either. Go back to school and learn some decent values and reflect that in your work, people.

Wow! Some people really like to complicate a simple thing and tear up a perfectly good pattern in the process! I agree with EileenB.

What you do to your body is your responsibility.
Having studied and earned a degree in the health field, I make my choices accordingly, and I choose a measuring tape - has worked just fine for hundreds of years with absolutely no potential health problems.
Just because the lamstream (oops, I mean mainstream) media doesn't tell you something exists, like hazardous air wave pollution, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In case you haven't figured it out yet, most people care more about $$ going into their pocket than they do about your health and well being - and that includes corporate-run government agencies that acquiesce to their desires. You may not know about it, but there is a growing concern by some in the medical/health field about all the invisible radiation modern society is exposed to via all the "modern conveniences". We are already seeing and expecting an increase in cancers, brain tumors, leukemia, depressed immune system, etc.
Snide remarks reflect a lack of that knowledge, and a lack of concern for personal health, which is a personal choice, of course, but then when you go to a physician to help you with your health problems, your choices by then will be much more limited.
Re: Get Your Body Scanned for the Perfect Fit
What "technology" are they using to scan your body? Are they using some sort of "microwave" or "radiation"? I, for one, will NEVER submit to such an assault on my body - which is why I won't be taking any flights as I refuse to submit to airport "body scans" (which do show "private" parts").
posted: 1:51 pm on July 5thPeople need to wake up and wise up. Not all "new technology" is good for you. Cell phones being the classic case - those things send radiation waves right into your brain. Please look into recent studies. The increase in brain tumors and cancers doesn't look very healthy. People are trying to get legislation passed that will at least tell consumers how much radiation their cell phone, blue tooth device emits, but even that seems to be a difficult task (don't you, as a consumer, wonder why?)
We now have cell phone towers that emit radiation waves 24/7 and can't be turned "off". Any "wireless" device emits radiation waves as long as it's plugged in, as does the converter for laptop computers. Then on top of that, we have all the utility companies that now want to install their "smart" meters that also emit radiation 24/7 and can't be turned "off".
The amount of "invisible" air pollution is increasing with very little public awareness. So let's just blast each other and ourselves with radiation and then wonder why we end up with poor health.
Sorry, but I just can't go along with the "trend" to think everything "new" and "convenient" is just "wonderful" - NOT!!
It's about making $$ off you - without regard to your health! In fact, FCC telecommunications regulations FORBID any health claims against any of the telephone companies! So I guess we know who wrote that law, don't we?
Wake up, people, and stop being so easily led to slaughter. None of these companies, be it phone, utility, airport scanners, sewing scanners, etc., are going to pay you a dime to cover your medical costs. YOU are responsible for protecting your own health and your own pocketbook.
THINK before jumping into any scanning booth!
Take the battery out of your cell phone when not in use, unplug all electrical devices when not in use,
and - Keep your measuring tape!
