T-Rex: Being a fashion designer has to be the most thankless job on Earth. Well... besides many other professions that people are rarely if ever thanked for.
T-Rex: Being a fashion designer has to be AMONG the most thankless jobs on Earth!!
T-Rex: I design a better battery, guess what? Everyone thanks me and then uses that battery for years and builds on it to make even better ones. But design an awesome fashion and it's out of style within years, maybe months! Here's a new blank slate, start over!
T-Rex: You're CONSTANTLY having to come up with new stuff.
Utahraptor: But you can always go retro and recycle styles, yeah?
T-Rex: ONLY SOMETIMES.
T-Rex: An example: cars had fins on them in the 50s, and it ruled. It unambiguously ruled so hard that everyone did 'em but then they became linked with a cultural moment, so it was more modern NOT to have fins. And now they're so 50s that we can't use 'em anymore! Any car with fins looks retro instead of FLIPPIN' SWEET.
T-Rex: And don't even get me STARTED on mutton chops that join smoothly with a mustache. The 1800s OWNS that look.
T-Rex: *sigh*
T-Rex: The shaving efficiency alone!!
