High (Really High) Fashion

I gotta tell you that I look dreadful in a cocktail dress and even worse in hells, er . .. heels, so the fashion world will not be burning a path to my door.

Maybe that's why I have never understood why so many of the fashion adverts in Vanity Fair, which I do read, and other mags that I do not, feature women who look like they just got home from an all-nighter at a crack house.

Then I came across this advert for the Sisley fashion line, which has to be a new low. Or high.

Is this what women aspire to be? A little help here.
