You need to read the original story. I have a link to it above. I have always been fascinated by women's fashion for several good reasons. The article's in www.frontrowmode.blogspot.com are about fashion. The first dress won a Mercedes Benz contest in Dubai. Many were critical of the choice thinking it did not deserve the win. Criticism of women's fashion is revelatory. It is always a point of interest to me how deeply Puritanical social commentary becomes around women's clothes, and how barbaric support for the conquest of people, land, and culture stands alongside patriotism, business, and power!
This is the second place winer in the Dubai contest.
And this is the third place winner.
In terms of placement all three dresses have merit. The way a dress moves tells its own story, and adds to the sensuality, and allure of the woman. I would have picked the first dress to win. It is more than a dress. It is an invitation. It arouses a man, and it is easily identifiable with a Mercedes Benz being finely made, graceful, and in tune with the interior environment of the car. The dress and the woman are sensuous and fluid in motion. The ability of the dress to relax on a woman's body as she drives the elegant car is the winning element in this contest. This outfit, on the right woman, is practical. It allows the woman to blend her elements of style and femininity with the concept of the car, the times we live in, and the concept of a woman’s sense of an aspect of herself that is powerful and influential in daily life.
Coming out of a car without the hard lines the other two dresses have is very feminine. The other two dresses, as beautiful as they are, are accented by hard masculine lines that counter the slopes of the Mercedes Benz, and most importantly, the natural contours of a woman’s body. The other dresses don’t flow gracefully. They are stately pieces of art more attuned to the airs of European aristocracy. The imagination goes away from the Mercedes in the other two dresses because they don’t accentuate the elegance of the car or its brand of sophistication. They don’t connect a woman’s beauty, her sensual allure, or the power and sacred potentiality of being a woman in a natural way. They are impractical. A woman with hard lines is unappealing to a man.” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
