No matter how old and glorious the models, sad indeed is the woman who sees fashion as a means of self-expression rather than an agent of social control. – Julie Burchill
These women whose antics we smirk at good-naturedly in the pap-traps put themselves out there at least partly on their beauty they are in showbiz, and showing what theyve got is part of their business as much as it is for male show-ponies from the Chippendales to George Clooney. – Julie Burchill
