Did the recent downturn of the market have anything to do with buck naked fashion models?  If not, what then?

Think what would happen if we had buck naked fashion models covered in Texas Tea....

Oil and beauty just don't mix well I guess ;-)

Besides said models going into toxic shock like the marine life washed up on beaches after an oil spill?

Hemlines are good market indicators.  We need more naked fashion models.

Buck naked fashion models don't sell clothing.  When everyone sees how easy and cheap it is to not dress in clothing, then the stores won't have anything to sell.  The people working in the stores, factories, and ad agencies won't have jobs.  - Hence you all should do your part to support the economy and keep naked fashion modeling to a minimum. smile

But no hemline is no indicator!

High or low (with or without sunspot activity), sure, but what can one predict from the absence of a hemline?

See Abercrombie and Fitch. You don't need clothes to sell a brand.

Yes it appears he did.   He represents models who are into the ultra natural look.  His other brother Buck started a photography business - caused quite an issue since he likes to shoot outdoors in heavy traffic areas.

Haven't seen many buck naked fashion models in magazines, but I did see NIPPLES in March's issue of W.

Kinda harsh to walk around naked in the winter time though - unless you live somewhere like Tahiti

I was being facetious. However, I have been to Tahiti twice.  There is not much of an apparel market there smile

Actually, there are no buck naked models any more ... they all want 100 bucks and up!
