I think you are misreading his posts. He is not using the word "*******" as an expletive or for emphasis. He is using it to describes the purpose and circumstances in which you would use the moisterizer.

Or perhaps not.

I thought those he photographs for the blog were technically strangers. You know, off da street ))))
It's just that they were kind enough not to tell him to **** Off

 

[Get Smart]

yea they're strangers, but he tells them who he is and that their photo is going to be on a blog that many people visit

I think that's the problem. I really enjoyed his blog in the beginning, right after he started it instead of just posting to AAAC. But back then he was hanging out in the same sort of neighbourhoods his readers live in, he was observing, and he was doing it because he enjoyed it.

Now he's prescribing instead of observing, and he's got a quota to hit, and he's travelling the world to do it. The only thing that's the same is the name of the blog and the photos of people wearing clothes.

It's too bad, because I'd enjoy a "here's what [major cities] are wearing today" blog that didn't have all of those problems. Sort of like a WAYWN thread that isn't self-selected.

Yeah - and more pictures of "normal" people vs. industry insiders. I agree.
