Strike from the Shows

I was going to cover another Paris show but decided not too. Oddly enough, I think I am tired and I haven't even physically been to any of these glorious presentations! I feel like these shows have been going on forever. Whilst they are the biggest thing happening right now in the fashion world, they aren't the only thing, are they? I think we all get so side-tracked by the shows that we just forget about everything else and then when they are over it feels like we have suffered a big loss and for a (brief) moment we don't know what to do. Hmm, almost like a break-up. A break-up after the first 3 months of bliss. Ah, yes the shows are equivalent to a sudden break-up with a fresh new lover. The joy and bliss of the first couple of months of a relationship is like the hype and excitement of fashion week. Its non-stop, always in your veins, day after day, almost like an addiction, you can't get enough. Then poof all of a sudden it comes to a dead stop. The only difference is with the shows we can all look forward to the next season, with a relationship all we look forward is to the hope of a phone call (which never happens of course). But I suppose each season is like a new romance. Full of promises and surprises but inevitably some disappointments as well. All we could do is learn from the present so we do not repeat the same mistakes in the future. In terms of a realtionship that means don't rush into anything too fast. In terms of the shows, that means bringing extra pairs of comfortable shoes.
