Just attended what we thought was the Paco Rabanne fashion show here in LA, and it was actually his apprentice. Fashion shows blow me away sometimes with the things that people create. Who would actually wear some of these pieces. Couture is one thing, but if it's Ready to Wear? A girl strutting the runway in a gold shiny onzie with some hip tassels is not what I nor a lot of my fellow comrades would call hot.
People watching at fashion shows is even better. You've got all the fashionistas that wear some pretty bizarre attire and think they're all that and a bag of chips. I think that is almost more of a show than the actual show.
I worked at back stage at the fashion shows in Paris for two seasons. It was a great time! Trekking across the city to each nostalgic venue leaves me with many fantastic memories. Not that LA is any Paris, but I thought the shows here would be a bigger production. The big Paris shows have all the top models you see in Vogue and every high end clothing campaign you see. The backstage energy is super fun, especially getting to chat up the models. The hair and makeup can get a little freakish especially when it's designers like Galliano, The above shot is of Tiiu backstage at the Galliano show. She's a sweetie.
Here's a few more shots from one of the shows a couple years ago.

The Bible has been interpreted to justify such evil practices as, for example, slavery, the slaughter of prisoners of war, the sadistic murders of women believed to be witches, capital punishment for hundreds of offenses, polygamy, and cruelty to animals. It has been used to encourage belief in the grossest superstition and to discourage the free teaching of scientific truths. We must never forget that both good and evil flow from the Bible. It is therefore not above criticism.

mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful.
