Every Tunic’s Tucked

EVERY TUNIC’S TUCKED squeamish that every tunic’s tucked on one side, lopsided, uncouth on the page, in the book - why is every model told to tuck her hand inside her pocket, jam her socket into her pants, plunge me into distress. If they want us to buy online, can’t we size it up ourselves. I laugh like crazy…going crazy…the lazy love to push buttons and tuck. well i’m out of luck, looking through glaring pages, glossing over, needled. insensitive to my plight? perhaps you have your own quirk. don’t laugh behind my back…hit me on the chin. just don’t tuck your tunic with your hand in one pocket. i panic at the unprofessional modelling. i turn away, i scorn, i feel sick. the lazy like to set up every one the same. their camera should be ashamed… how lame. let me speak…let me shout. i was kidding about the chin - keep it to yourself…

Kim, this is great--a real reaction to the bizarre world of online retailing and cataloging. I like how you're writing about something we all deal with on such a personal level. We have to think about what we click on since each one likely sends some feedback to big brother.

'Glass jaw,' eh?! lol. Don't forget: I'm the big bad wolf! (by the hair of my 'chinny-chin-chin.')... Now, as for these 'models,' I couldn't agree with you more. Repugnant their poses today. I think they aim to look as sloppy as they can... If ripped jeans are still selling... Oh, well! ~ Standards and Protocol, Gershon

Right! The aim should be for us to look at the clothes not the models, per se. We can huff and puff, but the industry still will do what they do…lol

Maybe it is the old way of "time is money". Hopefully, they allow returns. This poem is a good critique of modern merchandising.

Your poem, "EVERY TUNIC'S TUCKED," is quite engaging, Kim. It delves into the critique of the fashion industry's unrealistic depiction of models, showcasing frustration and unease with the forced poses and lack of authenticity in the industry.
