Anything to do with the female body is a sticky wicket. It’s all very complicated and difficult to discern one way or another. And the last person who should even attempt to talk about why wealthy women seem obsessed with showing their tits is probably me, a CIS white middle aged man.
But, lulz, fuck that. I’m going to do it anyway.
Ok, I think I’ve written about this before, but it’s a nice August evening and so I think I’ll write about it again because it’s about boobs. Everyone likes boobs, right? I know I do.
Anyway, you don’t have to be a genius to notice that on the actual catwalk you see in person, bare nipples are everywhere. A lot of the time, photo editors will obscure the actual nipples shown in the sheer attire the models are wearing so the Plebes won’t riot — or whatever.
But we again come to the question of — why?
I have no idea honestly. But maybe it has something to do with power? If you’re a wealthy woman, there’s something of a symbiotic relationship between the high end fashion designers and what you want to be able to wear. I mean, if Cara Delevingne got her way, she probably would show her nipples all the time. Like, all the time.
Being able to show her nipples freely is something Ms. Delevingne talks about all the time!
Of course, there’s a several thousand word New Yorker think piece to be written about how wealthy women perceive their relationship to their bodies differently than less wealthy women. I will leave such insight to a woman who has the proper intersectional qualifications to do such a thing. I’m just a dingus who is talking about shit I have no right to talk about. Please ignore me aggressively.
But anyway, this is all part of the broader issue of how wealthy people get away with bloody murder when it comes to sex. Or, at least, they have a very different interaction with other wealthy people when it comes to sex.
The only reason why this even annoys me is sometimes they try to pull a fast one us Plebes when it comes to who their dating. Anyway. What do I know.
