Yeah, I think Taylor Swift's personal style is being WAY TOO inflectional in the rest of the fashion industry, especially since many of her friends are also fashion models.
Also, with the girlfriends leaving over the navel fetishism, while, chalk that up to this fetish just being misunderstood. We have to remember, in the eyes of most people, the bellybutton is just a random hole or piece of flesh and nothing more. They don' find it sexy, so they think anything of it. But this covering the bellybutton with high waisted pants or underwear or bikini bottoms makes me believe that some are considering too sexy.
In the end, I still blame that stupid G4 report about our fetish being all about torture.
