The Fashion of Fashion

...What is about the term? Is it because it brings up images of models? I'm not sure what is wrong with it. I believe you might see your own reflection there if you think it's a negative term.

I can easily think of several similar, far more obviously negative terms: “flavor of the month” springs to mind.

I think what's wrong with the term is that it suggests femininity. Heaven forbid we be fashionable!

Reading tone into prose is always about seventy percent mind projection. Trust me I'm a professional prose reader!
