content or nothing
Provably is the "s o c i a l" word, the one that does not have sex-appeal.
Or may be just it,s not an American thing...
I was not so impressed by the "social" content. But yes, for the idea of: content or nothing.
Dear Koen, I read your comment on DA blog, and since then, still thinking. I understand most of your points.
But or I don,t understand the hole, or simply don,t agree.
I don?t understand very well, or feel, what,s wrong.
In an informal talk, between friends, as could be here between us, I,d confess, I understand, that this
,,s o c i a l ,,(word) couldn?t look nice, not cool, not sexy (in Olive,s approximation to Green-sustainability), even worst, could look ,,zurdito,, (in Spanish=left handwriting =lefty) and as the French writer ,Guy Sorman, said, that,s bad seen in the States as opposite than in France (and here have a closer approximation to French culture), or to look ,,grasa,, (in Spanish= oily, lard).
But I don,t know, on the other extreme we have F R I V O L I T Y :
Design & Frivolity. What a nice couple!
So what to choose?, extremes are not good. But I feel so many times on the frivolity side, or even worst, I feel in the middle and people seen just and only the chic side!.
I also see and enjoy that side, But there is something more to see in designs than frivolity and pretty things!.
