Also I feel like this has the beginnings of a good chat up line, although I'm not clear on the best way to deliver it, nor how positive the response from police officers would be.

Maybe something like... "Hey, I'm so fabulous, if you take me home, you'll still be finding glitter in your underwear *years* from now!"

For some reason in my mind this conjures up Rik Mayall, but I suppose that must just be personal preference.

Forgive me, I'm an armchair fashionista, so please take this with a grain of salt. I welcome boosts if fellow mastodonians would like to see wider contribution to the topic.

I propose, for this thought-experiment on the rapid delivery of fashion in a hypothetical European dystopia, that:

- the best delivery system for a glitter + adhesive mix intended for application to a person's clothes would be a brush of some kind, thus helping avoid application to the mouth and eyes. I would suggest some sort of clutch purse whose outer is removed or springs back to expose the (previously airtight) compartment of glitter and glue, but I'm sure there are countless alternatives.

- empty vehicles could be decorated by - after ascertaining the prevailing wind direction and taking safety measures - delivering a glitter/glue mix via some kind of disposable leaf-blower apparatus. This could permit application avoiding the windscreen and front windows of the vehicle. The person applying would of course wear a disposable boiler-suit and PPE, although I accept it would be a shame to dispose of, because it will probably look fabulous.

- there might be merit in having separate teams for adhesive-application and for operating the glitter-thrower. The former might be suited to reserved individuals operating in close personal space, and the latter might be a good fit for extroverts.

- in time, develop visible markers for those who don't wish to look fabulous. This might be something like wearing a badge, or perhaps a paperclip: https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/09/the-paperclip-was-used-as-a-symbol-of-resistance-during-world-war-ii/

#FastFashion #InstantFashion #China #Shein: "The perfect way to address consumers with short attention spans is to develop products with fleeting lifespans that are disposable and inexpensive. This ensures product obsolescence and affordability thereby creating space for consumers to react to their next impulse.

According to a recent study, Shein’s pricing of jeans, dresses, tops, outerwear, footwear, and accessories averaged 50% below H&M (and even further from Zara). Part of what enables Shein to sell $8 blouses and $9 dresses is their reliance on polyester. Almost two thirds of Shein’s garments are made of polyester, as compared to just 27% at Zara and 21% at H&M. Given that polyester can sell for considerably less than the price of cotton, this results in lower costs and prices." https://hbr.org/2024/02/the-lingering-cost-of-instant-fashion
