Models are people, too

1
I hate it when people try to talk about the “wearability” of stuff like everything should be “wearable.”  Specifically, everything should be wearable on “real women.”  That’s another term I hate, “real women.”  It’s so obvious from the term that models are not real women.  They also do not wear wearable things.  This is clearly because models are made of plastic and they are naked. 

            The fact that models look like real women is just an illusion.  It is also an illusion that they are wearing clothes.

            Except that oh, hey, I know a model.  Maybe you know a few models, too.  They are real women, I am pretty sure.  They also wear clothes.  Real, wearable clothes, even at fashion shows because guess what?  They are real clothes.

            Let’s stop doing it.  It is really annoyingly selfish when people who are not built like models or do not look like models or lack the guts to wear orange plastic boots once in a while.  Just because you might not wear it to work or in a normal circumstance doesn’t mean you can’t wear it; you can wear it, which is the definition of wearability.  After all, the model wore it, and she’s a real woman, even if she is 6'10" and weighs 6 pounds.
