"Haute Cuisine," & "Haute Fashion"

Just the title alone raises eyebrows. "Haute" or high, describes the food or fashion being of quality. Quite ironic how where ever their is fashion, there is food, but all of the models are skinny as ... (I'm attempting to keep the blog PG-13 Please excuse me if I slip up on occasion. LOL!) Fashion and food go hand in hand, and that is proven its self prevalent throughout the ages. Just think back to when The United States was "THE NEW WORLD," and all of the cattle, and new staples were brought here. The Native Americans used cattle not only for food, but for the clothes on their back. I am sitting here laughing to my self because clearly women in those days wanted to look sexy for their men, and the first thing that pop's into my head is cattle hide lingerie. Moving forward to the middle ages when sheep were eaten more widely, and their wool was used for clothing, insulation, protection... Not only was the food prepared in manners fit for nobility, but the use of its wool, provided not only warmth, but allowed people to look good, with its ability to be colored, and shaped in any way.

Not seen as visible as it was back then, but the two still go hand in hand. Actually - I take that back - they may be more extreme now then ever. One can turn on the discovery channel, or tlc, and watch models walking down freezing cold runways covered in chocolate, sugar etc. Even crazier is how the models walking down the runways probably have no clue the history behind what they are wearing, and how that simple item (chocolate), and its introduction to explorers from the old world completely changed the face of history.

Be it food, or fashion, Haute is Haute! And despite disputing opinion's, they do mirror each other in many ways, people like to eat good, and like to look good too... "PLAY WIT IT™"
