The Danger Dress.

Where have all the surfing cowboys gone?

This dress is called the danger dress for a reason, however, it may not be clear on first glance why it would be called the danger dress. The white colour contrasts the models bronzed skin, making the white starker, not to mention the innocent look the model is giving off, from her relaxed body language to the tousled locks giving off that beack babe 'i just walked from the beach' vibe, relaxed. White being a colour mainly known for it's pure connotations, to have a white dress and refer to it being a 'danger dress' may come as a bit of a surprise, as a dress being given a description of dangerous, i automatically come to the colour red, especially not white.

However it is only when we look at the image from the front that we see why the dress has been given its name, with a split that goes far up the leg, you would have to be careful how you walked in this one...

I think the choice in the colour white though is appropriate. The title of this blog post, 'Where have all the surfing cowboys gone?' i think is a reference to fashion today. Everyone seems to be copying everyone else's style, and i think that really what the title is trying to suggest is that we should become our own fashion icons. 'Surfing Cowboys' is not two words i would put together, but then thinking about it, why not? Surfers are known for being cool calm and collected, and cowboys are known for being roofless outlaws, together is what we should be when exploring our own fashion. Be cool and own what you are wearing, break the rules and become your own surfing cowboy.
