| CRISIS: PARIS READY TO CUT CATWALK CALENDAR |
| 2009-03-08 |
| PARIS, MARCH 6 - The pret-a-porter season in Paris has begun, but the crisis is being felt. First of all, the Chambre syndacale is already regretting its decision to hold 9 days of catwalks, which the organisers are now saying are too many: "the French labels had really insisted on keeping the calendar to the same length, but next season it will not be possible, we will have to reduce it to seven days". The directors of the chambre announce that the number of journalists and buyers in attendance has halved. Paris is attempting to maintain a high level of show, but also reducing the costs: "there will be less champagne, fewer parties, less of everything. The crisis is hitting hard", the organisers of the show comment. |

| #11 Thanks, ed. Your comment about soleless shoe enabled me to coin a new definition of an atheist as some who has soles on his feet, but none in his heart. Sorry to all those who cringed upon reading this. I can't help myself. But it's all ed's fault. He fed me the idea for the line. |

| #10 Paris, Sorry to tell you this but everyone's seen what you got - a calendar would be a simple waste of paper. |

| #8 It would be far too hard to find women with curves Don't be silly, Anonymoose. Lots of curves in French butter sauce country. Generally the curves develop extra curves as the years pass, but there are quite enough men who prefer women to be extra womanly. |

| #6 far too hard to find women with curves willing to don revealing costumes while men ogled Nah, 'moose. It's easy. Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. Or for video, Mr. Bingle. |

| #5 They're just not looking hard enough for the opportunities... Trash bag chic. Toeless and soleless shoes. A coat of many colors. |

| #4 They would never dream of putting on a fashion show that would appeal to heterosexual men, however. It would be far too hard to find women with curves willing to don revealing costumes while men ogled and leered at them. |
