    Don't get your socks into a knot over it.....as long as there are
    people with too much money and too little taste willing to compete
    with each other for possession of whatever the trendsetters declare
    to be 'in'.....all the little sycophants and wannabe's will follow in
    their wake and create a copycat demand for more of the same. No
    matter how they hype it up, bad art is not art. It's just bad. And
    yes, folks....no matter how much the pundits admire the brocade, the
    emperor is just plain naked. 

    Happy New Year to everyone......Here's to imaginative innovation,
    not pretentious outrageousness.
