Upholders of the "gay designers" theory of women's fashions try to deny that they
are claiming a conspiracy -- but given all the other factors that operate in the
industry, the only coherent way in which the gay designers theory can be defended
is by charging or implying a conscious conspiracy. The gay presence in the industry
is simply not large enough to make this impact *except* through organized
conspiracy. Ditto with the influence of Jewish Bankers. I think the point Doug
makes has in fact been an open secret for nearly a century: clothes look better *as
clothes* on a stick figure.

CB: Yea, that's getting at it. The clothes not the person are what is important to the
clothes merchants. So, the less person the better. Commodity fetishism.
