Yep, they wear crazy stuff in the PROFESSIONAL shows abroad.  Unfortunately, we don&#039;t have &quot;Fashion Police&quot; for those who do wierd things here, so DCG has boldly stepped-up for the job :P]]></description>

I think Daphne knows exactly what art is.  Criticism is an art of its own after all... and as for creativity, I think that a critic who can amuse us with something new everyday is anything but uncreative. ;)]]></description>

Being Kim Kardashian is not a worthwhile ambition. There&#039;s is only one of her (thank heavens, I should add). 

It might not seem like that to you now, but everyone&#039;s skin wrinkles and sags with age and, when that happens, there&#039;s usually a lot of life left in you so you&#039;d better have something other than a large bottom and heavy make-up to aspire to.]]></description>

You must be even younger than I thought you were. Rejection is par for the course in a model&#039;s life. If you were planning to dive into that shark pool, I suggest you try your luck elsewhere. You&#039;re not cut out to cope with the inevitable disappointment.]]></description>

First of all I would like to dedicate a minute&#039;s silence for the demise of the English language.

Now that that is done - no sense of fashion? Those pictures are the very essence of tacky. They&#039;re ghastly - starting with the excessive make-up, continuing to the &#039;what on earth is that&#039; background, and finishing with the over-the-top lighting effects. 

Who cares if people have invested lots of time and effort into this? If it&#039;s bad, expect criticism. 

These are things you are expected to deal with as an adult. If you can&#039;t deal with criticism then don&#039;t publish material for consumption by the general public.

And why do you, the lot of you, have this idea that the people criticising this would find them lovely if they were foreign? I (and I assure you, so do most of the people here) find lots of things that happen &#039;abroad&#039; to be tacky and have no issue in criticising them either. 

America/Britain&#039;s Next Top Model is a prime example of that.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First I&#039;d like to assure you that any possible mass-emigration which might take place will be made by guys and not girls. That is provided that only girls like you are left running their mouths on this little island (..and I am sure this will not be the case!)

The second point I&#039;d like to make is that some people seek to get attention from putting pasta and make-up  on their head whilst others might try putting up blogs on the internet, why should anyone stop either? 

Finally I want to assure you that some of the guys there are straight and DO have girlfriends. It is perfectly fine to use controversial lines in a blog to get some attention you so dearly crave, but to insinuate or spread lies definitely crosses the line.]]></description>
