Response to Can 'real' fashion be done with a 'glamour'-type model?

from shawn gibson (SeeInsideForever@yahoo.com)
Well look what happens when you see Madonna or Courtney Love in a fashion photo. It looks different, even though it still looks like Avedon, or whoever. It still looks like a real fashion photo, sort of, but maybe because we equate a certain style with fashion I just started seeing Avedon's blown-out backdrops as 'portraiture'; until now even if it was an old man I sort of thought of it as a bastardized fashion photo...). And these celeb-as-fashion-model shots always jump out at me as be anomolies when I'm flicking through a magazine.

I don't know what I'm adding here, just noting what I see.
