The “Fashion” Show That Wasn’t: A Rant

I’ve been at Georgia Southern for five years, and every year there are productions put on by various organizations. We are invited to a slew of poetry slams, fashion shows, and plays. Tonight we were enticed into the Performing Arts Center with promises of original clothes and a theme that would leave the women in the audience feeling empowered. After 2 and half hours of unfinished hemlines, nipple slips, and derogatory lyrics–I was disappointed.

I don’t find 20 girls marching to the beat of a bass heavy track as a man yells “B–ch” over it empowering. In fact, I was offended that whoever thought up the theme thought that it would fly with all the inconsistencies. Who would feel empowered bending over in a front of a half naked man as some rapper tells him to “drop that check, break her neck, make the p—-y wet…” I mean come on. Really?

Needless to say, that the show and its inconsistent presentation was a failure.
