Blah blah about Betsey Johnson
Betsey Johnson is bankrupt and making sales. Christophe Coppens is bankrupt as well, but I can't visit his website for it is in Flash.
Also, Donna Summer just died at 63! Her music goes well with that moment when I was visiting Betsey Johnson's website today (better than Ru Paul, because Ru Paul's fun factor is too much to achieve that; this kind of chemistry needs real precision.)
I can't buy anything because I don't any money and apparently the shipping would cost candies! Which is sad because somehow I feel like it'd be possessing a piece of history?
So I'll probably steal a book about her, because I find her clothes powerful (maybe empowering but it's such a big word that I'm not sure) and fun.
Now you'll say it's sad that the only option to be powerful seems to be being sexy (which become kind of hrm to talk about because in the beginning you're not supposed to feel powerful because of sexual stuffs if you're a woman or read as a woman by others, but it shouldn't be the only option), but I don't think so only because it's sexy (which I didn't know it was in the beginning but it happens to me a lot with a lot of stuffs!); it is because it's like a play between a pastiche and a parody, a game that Betsey would share with her clients and not a goal in itself.
It's a bit when you are doing that really stereotyped thing, both because you like it for yourself and your friends and knowing there is a negative stereotype associated with it you decide to take it for you and play with it!
A bit like that John Fiske quote I read said, about wearing a jean. The jean already has a meaning assigned to it by society and you can modify that jean or wear it with other stuffs or for other reasons, in different places than it's supposed to be worn, to modify (for you or others) its meaning, still our meaning will coexist with the meaning(s) already assigned to it by society and other people. Except here, as it's Betsey Johnson herself who gave this meaning to these clothes, the new meaning is stronger.
Obviously it's just my own interpretation while visiting her website and reading this Rookie article, before I knew her and liked her stuffs but didn't think about that, so maybe if she was reading this she would tell me: you don't get me, get it at all my child, let me explain it to you! Thankfully we can have personal interpretations.
(There would be one precision to add but someone just distracted me, I'll add this later.)
