(Warning, you'll see one exposed chest for those conservative viewers)
I'm sure people in my class are sick of hearing about Cosmo after my presentation, but what can I say? It's an easy target! This article was written by Cosmo about the worst-dressed celebrities of the week, and I must say I actually think the first one is really cool T-T.
Take my words with a grain of salt, and beat me down if you want, but I see this as a way for people to get that superiority complex. "Oh, look at that dress, she looks terrible! HOW much did she spend on that thing?" I mean people gain security in themselves by beating others down (not everyone, but I just graduated from high school and I saw it a lot). And it's a pretty common Californian mindset from what I've had explained to me.
I would say this is aimed at fashion-concious women in their teens onward. And they make it simple and straight forward with a flash scrolling interface and just quick blurbs. They make their remarks not about "How it doesn't work for them" but rather in snide comments. "Drapes don't make a good dress", "You look like a pinata", "We have to look at you wear that? Eww"
When you look at show like TLC's What Not to Wear (Which I'll admit to watching a late-night marathon with a friend for giggles), they talk about how it's a bad outfit because it doesn't work for your body, or talk about how it's so vibrant it's silly. Cosmo... goes on the attack.
Just to touch on how others would view it differently... Men seem to see the female obsession with lady-magazines and fashion awareness a tad overboard and... well.. annoying.
