I am perfectly aware of the wisdom, or of lack of pouring gas on an open fire, however the rush of adrenaline provoked by the shooting flames, and the challenge of getting your hands out before the flames touch your skin is great, if only a little crazy...

Speaking about fashion in general is a very risky thing. Fashion is a subjective matter and although a lot of people are following the trends it does not matter that everyone looks good wearing the new fashion...

Actually there are very few fashion trends setting places in the world: Milan, Rome, Paris, London, New York, where the design houses are introducing their creations every year.
