The uses of fashion (blogs)
I disregard fashion. I don’t think about it when I shop for clothes, and other people’s clothing does not usually catch my eye unless it is appealing to me in a sexual way. As a result, my taste in fashion is doubtlessly quite vulgar, which is yet another incentive for me not to pay it any mind.
However, the Sactorialist is one of my favorite local blogs. Its author, Tosca, posts photos of people she meets in the downtown/midtown vicinity and describes, in clear and concise language, what she found so interesting about a person’s clothes that she had to stop him or her in the street and document it with a photograph.
I suppose I like the Sactorialist because it puts a method of people watching in my rss reader. Perhaps you’ll have a more sophisticated reason for bookmarking this blog, but I urge you to check it out in any case.
