Was watching this reality contest show when I was a teenager, back when reality contest shows were incredibly popular. Can’t remember the exact year, but it must’ve been before 2008.
Anyway, in this case it was some fashion show thing. Young aspiring designers making their own clothes, and every episode someone gets eliminated by the judges. You get the formula.
The judge for this show was this old, wrinkly, French lady who was apparently considered a major authority on Women’s fashion. The topic of the day was making pants for women. The process of the show was that the designers would go out, buy materials, make the clothes, present the clothes, then have a model wear the clothes to present further, then try get the clothes sold somewhere.
This one young woman came with pocketed pants, and the judge immediately disqualified her. She didn’t even look at the pants, or let the model wear it. Just straight up dismissed. Why? Her excuse was something along the lines of; “Because the feminine form is the most powerful thing we have and pockets diminish that. If a woman wants to carry things she can buy a handbag”.
Wanna bet that the old hag has some stakes in handbags?
Actually, peer pressure from the fashion elite might be enough. They all wanna sell as much bullshit as possible, so of course they’d want you to have clothes in a dozen different color shades with fitting large handbags, small handbags, clutches, shoes, shades…
Yeah, I can see why she’d be allergic to unprofitable convenience.
Told this story a few times before, but:

This reads exactly like The Devil wears Prada which was very on the nose. Great film about terrible culture.
It takes guts and perseverance to beat that, but even with lots of it there’s still no guarantee.

Untrue. Girls with pockets are sexy.
Because girls with pockets are happy. And happy girls are sexy :-)
All true facts!
Hence, Asami Sato:
I am taking no arguments of unsexiness, as there are none.
Though for what it’s worth, pockets seem to be in fashion in her world:
I’ll allow it!
Gadget Hackwrench.
I rest my case. Didn’t even watch the show.
Holy flashback Batman!
Open and shut case!
…but for good measure, Kaylee Frye!
I, too, eliminate every woman from dating consideration the moment I see pockets. That extra 1/8th inch of feminine form is everything.
