Aside from who posts and who doesn't (women vs. men) I have something to say.

Fashion industry is driven by demand. Demand is determined by what women do or do not like. Michelle Obama plays a pivotal role in this decision, as Jacque Kennedy did. Our styles are a mirror image of celebrities, like it or not.

I do not find this a trivial subject. Our economy is based on consumerism and women buying clothes (or getting new hair styles) are important aspects of boosting our economy.

Perhaps you don't think this is an important issue, but in my opinion, anything that boosts the economy is crucial at this point...no matter how trivial you might think it is.
