Cell Phones and Intelligence

This is my day to take out my dislike for the tax code on stupid advertising. Since my taxes are done and mailed and I no longer have to kick the cat I can concentrate on other items that raised my eyebrows.

Intelligent Design: now I understand intelligent design in the since of science and what is said about intelligent design at Wikipedia with all 245 Reference notes. I understand that intelligent design in also mentioned in science fiction supposedly something that looks human but only learns as it goes; such as an android. I understand Daniel Goleman’s Social Intelligence; which is the new science of human relations. What I don’t understand and, is probably done for shock value only, was a headline regarding the winner of Project Runway, as she got down to work, it was titled…Intelligent Design. Models don’t even come close to intelligent design with their grand total of intelligence…they don’t make the cut. Maybe it is the dresses; to me there never has been anything intelligent in the design of the Mod Look. Designers may be good in business with help but don’t come close to the ID that is talked about in Wikipedia. To me in fashion design: Intelligent Design would be the ability to make a pair of 3-4 inch heels that are fashion forward, great color and NEVER hurt your feet no matter how long they are worn. Now THAT would be intelligent design in the fashion sense!

Since I talked about tax day, I have decided that the Dior add for a cell phone is a little much, but I am sure the sales tax on that item would pay the tax bill of many. This little gadget just didn’t make any since for a CELL PHONE. Now we all know how we treat our little gadgets of wonder. We throw them in pocket filled with junk or at the bottom of a purse. We lose them. We get mad and throw them across the room and we drop them…sometimes in the toilet. They have become a…can’t do without them gadget that sometimes we lose. Then how can anyone of any intelligence (there is that word again with fashion) possible purchase one with 641 diamonds on the case and a sapphire crystal??? And they call it an Intelligent Jewel! (There is that word again) Wow talk about branding! http://www.diorphone.com/ I would like a Q or Black Berry in a great color…maybe purple but diamonds? Can you imagine walking anywhere in New York City with that in your purse?? Of course people who purchase those phones never walk anywhere!

Remember… the new watch word for the fashion world is: Intelligent…
