Alternate headline: Attention whore whores for attention
Can we please talk about how two of the four horsemen of the apocalypse are already here and they are butt cheek #1 and butt cheek #2?
What the hell is this woman wearing?
Do you see what I see?
Yes, what we are seeing is Kim Kardashian's ass crevasse.
Why?
I honestly don't understand what's happening here.
If you've read Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart, then you know his novel, set in the not so far off future, features just this sort of fashion:
"We wended our way through a half-kilometer of racks and hit upon the Onionskin outlet... Women, tired and aggrieved, were plowing through the brand's signature transparent jeans, hanging like rigid, empty skins in the center of the Retail space."
As I did a little searching I found a reference to a 1954 work by Philip K. Dick titled Sales Pitch. In one scene a couple is talking about going out for the evening.
"I'll put on my new plastirobe, the one I've never had nerve enough to wear."
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she hurried into the bedroom. ""You know the one I mean? When you're up close it's translucent but as you get farther off it becomes more and more sheer until -"
"I know the one," Morris said wearily. "I've seen them advertised on my way home from work..."
Here's the thing about predicting the future: All you have to do is presume that everyone is going to be unbelievably stupid. We are Idiocracy.
