Is fashion art?
No?
Still, I'll share this anyway.
Chap was approached by a 'local fundraiser'
They'd secured funding to hold a Wimmin's Day event at a Town Hall.
Part of the funding was one thousand pounds, purely to stage and produce a fashion show.
Chap, with some past experience in this sort of nonsense, was asked to help put on the fashion show, having choreographed such things in the past, professionally.
Chap turns up at the allotted time, hangs about a bit, then is informed that because of religious beliefs, and him having a winky, the wimmin would not be going in any room with him, to practice walking about like a model etc.
Fair enough.
Chap goes home.
Chap's later informed, by a friend who took part the 'fashion show', who didn't have a winky, it was just a few wimmin, walking about the stage for a few moments, in hats they'd trimmed up.
Chap thinks blimey! That sounds a bit like what old ladies do in community centres at Easter, after they've sewn some daffs and a few fluffy chicks on a bonnet, and happens across the land, and costs nowt. No funding required.
Chap's left wondering about the worth to the community of such events, and the value of an 'event' that cost a thousand quid, to only partly put on.
