fashion and history. I'd like someone to write a hub about the political, economic, social, and cultural forces that drive the movement of fashion from one thing to another.
For example, we know that the two-piece bathing suit came as a result of World War II. This had to do with rationing. Everything was rationed, including cloth.
Take a look at a picture of George Washington, noting how he's dressed. Now take a look at a picture of our forty-fourth president, Barack Obama.

Servicemen carried pictures of models wearing two-piece bathing suits on-board ships and planes. The ugly one piece suits were uncomfortable and designers decided to make suits that would flatter the feminine figure.
I am not qualified, as one look at my wardrobe would demonstrate.

I've just received an email from a dancer and one of her friends.I used her Youtube clip as an illustration in my Flamenco Fusion Hub. OK, I used it to illustrate what NOT to do. She sees it as a criticism of her dancing. It isn't, it's a criticism of the choreography and choice of...
