Cavalli scorches Milan with ring of fire catwalk
Models in furs paced around a ring of fire at Roberto Cavalli's catwalk show at Milan Fashion Week on Saturday, which was picketed by animal rights protesters.
The typically over-the-top designer put a water feature in the centre of a large tent next to Milan's Arco della Pace, around which a ring of fire was lit at the start of the show as models circled.
The autumn/winter 2014-2015 ready-to-wear collection featured flapper dresses, large fur shoulder wraps and long skirts with flames lapping up the sides.
Fashion editors tweeted the show was "unebelievable" and they "loved it", although more than a few fashionistas could be seen struggling from the intense heat in the front row -- dabbing their faces and fanning themselves to stay cool.

I bet those models were just used as objects to showcase clothing that will be used to force others into being objects.
We need to work on just out and out banning modeling. If nothing else do it as a benevolent gesture to those who don't like other people being seen in such attire (and I can tell you, some of those people posed in ways I don't see people stand every day - it's the end of days I tell ya)
Soon as I saw this I knew what I wanted. Hot dogs roasting on the flames of the catwalk (which goes around in a circle it appears).

But it does have flames going in a circle in it

(1 post)This was really insightful.
I'm writing a script (short) about how the Standard of Beauty makes people feel inadequate and aspire to something impossible (and ever changing).
Your phrase "I bet those models were just used as objects to showcase clothing that will be used to force others into being objects"
is spot on to what I'd like one of the characters to say.
Would you be willing to consent to me using this phrase? I will gladly give credit, where credit is due.
Wishing you a memorable day.
