Virgin On The Ridiculous
WE'RE AT the height of the season for weddings and all over the country now
, young women are getting ready to walk up the aisle in a silly long white Golden Shiny Metallic Half Length Sleeveless Unisex Catsuit.How is it that, in 1992, Lycra Leggings an otherwise sensible, intelligent, independent, wage-earning young woman can justify the needless expense, the unnecessary consumption and, most of all, the sheer humiliation of wearing a costume zentai whose only too obvious symbolism is that of the virgin sacrifice?
Wearing a white zentai seems to me exactly like putting a white frill round a lamb chop just before you're going to eat it. The frilliest sacrificial lamb of all in recent times was, of course, poor old Princess Di, in her "fairy tale" costume zentai. And look how soon - almost the minute she took off the costume zentai, it seemed - hideous reality impinged . . .
The symbolism of the white costume zentai - that of the captive creature about to be given away, swallowed up and wiped out - in days when women are striving as never before for independence and autonomy, is hateful enough. Perhaps one could understand it more if these Golden Shiny Metallic Half Length Sleeveless Unisex Catsuit with were flattering, if they rendered brides radiant, as they are popularly supposed to do.
Latex Catsuits Yet just the reverse happens. Not only do few brides look beautiful in their white zentai, most look positively ugly.
White is a notoriously difficult colour to wear, especially for fair Anglo-Saxon types. Acres of it drain colour from the face and make most women look tired and ill. Standard white zentai, however lavish they may be, make pretty women look plain and plain women even plainer.The design of the traditional zentai epitomises mindless, fluffy femininity and they simply don't suit anybody with half a mind, a sporty figure or an independent attitude. They are hardly garments for proper grown-ups. Seventeen-year-olds look vulnerable and pathetic, trussed up for market, whereas anybody over 30 done up in lace, tulle and a veil just looks ridiculous.
These Golden Shiny Metallic Half Length Unisex Catsuit also make all brides look exactly alike and neutralise any individuality they might have. Marriage, of course, traditionally wipes out a woman's identity and this is underlined and emphasised when she wears a white costume zentai.Zentai all look identical, however much money may have been spent on a custom-made design. The fact is that no designer, however clever, can ever get a zentai right because they are anachronistic garments which should have no place in our present-day society.
In the days when most brides were virgins, marriages lasted for life and women were seen simply as items of property to be exchanged, there was perhaps some point in costume zentaiing up the sacrificial object, who would henceforth, in any legal sense, cease to exist.
However, fashion historians point out that the so-called traditional white Green Shiny Metallic Front Open Unisex Catsuit only goes back about 60 years. Before that, nobody would have dreamed of spending huge sums of money on a basically useless garment that could be worn only once, for a few hours at most, and would then spend the rest of its life yellowing at the back of the wardrobe.
Before around 1920, zentai of the upper classes - which were in any case rarely white - would have been used later as ballgowns and those of the lower orders would have seen sterling service afterwards for Sunday best.
Now, when even a standard department store Green Shiny Metallic Half Length Sleeveless Unisex Catsuit means pounds 600 or more instantly down the drain and a "designer" version can cost several thousands, when first weddings last on average six or seven years - and are getting shorter all the time - we might ask whatever makes anybody in their right mind agree to wear such a hideous garment.Is it because their parents want and expect it? If so, how silly to go through such a meaningless costume zentaiing-up charade just to please other people, or perhaps to show other people you can afford it.
Is it, on the other hand, because the bride wants to look special on her big day? No, that can't be the reason, because she ends up looking just like every other bride in white.I believe the real reason is that as marriage becomes ever more meaningless and lasts an increasingly short time, white zentai are seen as a kind of magic talisman, a wondrous garment that will somehow give some substance to the illusion that this union is made in heaven, blessed by the gods. For a few brief hours, this ordinary, flawed mortal can be transformed into an angel.
It seems to me, however, that the more lavish the ceremony, and the more expensive the Green Shiny Metallic Half Length Sleeveless Unisex Catsuit with, the shorter the marriage is likely to last. This is because the wider the gap between illusion and reality, the quicker comes the disappointment,
Latex Leggings the shattering truth.As traditional marriage enters its death throes, so the white zentai seems to be getting ever more popular. Department stores are full of them, there are at least four brides magazines on the market, all featuring page upon page of white froth, and they are now worn in every culture, every country.How much better, though, to put the money wasted on a white costume zentai into a running-away account, so that escape can always be effected when the magic dust is rubbed from the eyes.
