The runway symbolizes something in society that's very intimidating to women.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every woman is not a runway model, nor should she be.
It's interesting because we live in a country where the obesity is so enormous. And then the reflection on the runways is girls that are so thin. So there's two extremes that are almost like a reflection of themselves, and it's very hard to be in the middle with girls that are just healthy.
I'm always scared of trends. The runways are always so trend-oriented, but I always feel for the women. The real women that buy cosmetics want to see the trends, but they don't necessarily go for them. And I always encourage women to find what looks best on them.
Most women are dissatisfied with their appearance - it's the stuff that fuels the beauty and fashion industries.
'Women's fashion' is a euphemism for fashion created by men for women.
Whenever a female takes a strong stand for herself, the majority of the time they have to really, really narrow it down to being feminine and wearing dresses and just being lipstick chic.
People get very trapped where they are. When they hear 'fashion' they get intimidated, particularly at the upper end because it's so elitist.
The Miss America Pageant reinforces a belief that women are merely how they look and how they please.
I find the whole concept of women screaming at me so odd. It's very flattering, but I don't think I will ever consider myself to be a sex symbol.
Runway is like an adrenaline rush.
