Vogue has published a fashion shoot based on "war on terror chic." Cue leggy girls with perfect tits and muscular male models simulating torture and rape. Slap on a corny title like "Make Love, Not War" and, in the mindless world of fashion, it becomes "a message." Shot by photographer provocateur Stephen Meisel, it follows the recent "fun take on rehab chic" spread, which featured 50 pages of pouting hotties posing as drug addicts…Sure, we do fashion stories around social issues. But when we look at poverty, gang violence and war, we shoot real slum dwellers, real soliders and real gang members. There's a difference, don't you think?
