Future Of Fashion or Old Fashioned? Saudi Arabia Fashion Show Uses Robots Instead Of Female Models

Source: – / Getty It’s still shocking that women are just now getting the right to drive in Saudi Arabia. As of June 2018, the first driver’s licenses to women were issued — however, the ladies still have to seek a man’s permission to obtain one.  If you thought that little piece of chauvinism was extreme, you probably didn’t know that they aren’t usually allowed to use female models in the their fashions shows in Saudi Arabia or Qatar. So they opt for robots instead: I’m dying at this fashion show in Saudi they weren’t allowed female models pic.twitter.com/5xxpMBk4Nr — jina (@jinakhoushnaw) June 6, 2018 We knew that Artificial Intelligence was trying to take over our customer service jobs, IT gigs and even our boyfriends and girlfriends:   But who knew that they’d also be taking over the modeling industry?

REVIEW: Slow, Ridiculous Apollo 18 is Found Footage Horror Done Wrong

When they work, found footage films are testaments to the power of a limited perspective. Features like The Blair Witch Project , REC and Cloverfield get juice out of the fact that we’re not able to see or know more than the characters on screen. They use a gloss of the intentionally clumsy — jittery camerawork, lower quality footage, mundane dialogue — to allow a story to invade from an unexpected angle. They require cleverness in concept and, more importantly, in construction, particularly when the found footage flick in question is of the horror genre, as so many of them are; there’s no easier way to lose your audience than to make them wonder why, when such frightening things are allegedly happening, your characters are still bothering to roll tape. On the plus side, they’re a way to hide your monster (or witch, or demon, or alien) from view for longer than is usually allowed a more standard film — and the monster we imagine is usually much scarier than the one we finally see on screen.
