Week during the fall season was dominated by the nation's most popular sport: soccer. People of all ages gather to cheer on and living vicariously through professional athletes. If it was a knee injury in college or getting a cut from the team's HIGH SCHOOL, man is constantly talking about their own lives as compared to the professionals in TV as a "what could have been." In some cases, these men leave women who do not care about any statistics or a fantasy football trade that you just created. My first thought, it's hard trying to figure out any parallel from the perspective of a woman as compared with beer and nachos infused Sunday football side. However, this week is unique.
Tuesday night plays host to the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Supermodel of the world to drift on the up and down a runway equipped with wings, diamonds and everything an angel will tote. Around Victoria's Secret Fashion Show hype totally unprecedented in the fashion world as far as the national media go. I sat in my room Tuesday night ready to sit back, enjoy the show, and refresh my Twitter time to see what people are talking about.
Through conversations on Twitter, I really do see similarities between people watching football and a girl who watched this on TV model. Twitter timeline includes a lot of girls who turned this fashion shows to social gatherings, imitate how people throw their favorite team jerseys to go meet at the bar on Monday night.
"I wish I was as fast as Devin Hester" smoothly translates into "I want to be as skinny as Chanel Faith." Shoulder and cleats should be traded for Angel's wings and heels. On Tuesday night, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Maroon 5 and Nicki Minaj filed in on the runway as a "half-time show." "I'm going to start lifting the everyday to get as large as Adrian Peterson" now substituted for tweets like "quest to have a body like Adriana Lima begins tomorrow."
The reasoning behind each side is almost exactly the same. It is not a matter of personal insecurity affected, but one of admiration from the lifestyle so much that a number of select people's reality.
