    Yeah, but how many black/brown models were in the show? Appropriating a culture's look pisses me off when the originators are left out.

    Yay! $3,000 for a preposterous 'do and a scrap of fabric in which the wearer cannot be seated.

    Does this mean that a photographer may not lengthen a model's legs disproportionately versus her torso by using a slightly wide lens and shooting from the feet up?

    Must the output of a flash unit be regulated so that it does not unduly wash out the age lines on an older person's face?

    And shouldn't the French ban makeup and hair styling for models, because it may give them an unnatural look?

    @The Lone Scout:

    PS And let's make sure that models do not pose in any way that might alter how they should be perceived visually as regulated by a new French administrative body.

    No more showing your good side.

    How many mistruths does this law intend to punish? Merely the unannounced alteration of a model's appearance via technology? How about the deception that buying the advertised product will resolve the black hole of our existential dilemma? Put that in Sartre's pipe and smoke it.

    I'm not sure people understand. Every. Single. Print advertisement has had some digital retouching or other. The bother (and cost) of labeling every print ad will be prohibitive. Not to mention it will make literally every ad, regardless of content look like a cigarette advertisement.

    I know, no one likes ads, we'd all be happy to see them vanish. But the fact is, ads pay for media you consume. No ads, no sponsors. No sponsors, no content.

    @lionel-mandrake: I like ads. And retouching is as old as photography itself.

    This is gulag-style bullshit. Bite me, France, between this and not allowing Muslim women to wear the veil at school, you are failing in this century.

    Cash fans blur the line between art and commerce, and should be considered the hot new art form of 2009.

    This reminds me (since disco is being discussed on the Idol thread) to ask whether anyone could come up with lyrics about cash fans to the tune of Donna Summer's "Last Dance."

    Never knew about Koons and tiered pricing but it all makes perfect sense now, from Warhol to Koons to Hirst is a straight line of hucksterism.

    I really didn't *get* Murakami and during the Brooklyn Museum exhibit I basically had a bitchfit about his work while my friends shook their heads at me.


    I felt his work was juvenile and slightly mysogynistic. Mechanical planes that transform into naked women with shaved vadges? Really?


    Then again what do I know about art?


    And the whole fact that he was able to get such a visceral reaction from someone which then spurred discourse pretty much *is* the definition of "art".


    I still hate his shit though.
