Just some thoughts. Is fashion a mod? THe latest styles, types of clothes, the still ahve the basic function of covering us up from weather and each other. This is not personal modification, but modification at a grander scale- our society. I think that we live to change things around us, not because of abstract concepts like beauty and art, but because when we first started out, molding our environment into various things saw great benefit for us. Everyone has a "little inventor", a creative side that needs to express itself, whether by changing the materials around us or the person within, or both.
Am I way off base here? It just popped into my head.
