You know, I had an idea like that once. It was a jump to conclusions mat. On it there were different conclusions, written on it, that you could... jump to!
To be fair, a bottle of water is fairly cheap and could save your life if stranded somewhere. This shit is as worthless as tits on a nun. Who does she think she is? Achilles?
Yes, the wealthiest people I know wear the cheapest shit. They have one or two sets of timeless nice clothes for each occasion and don’t take photos of their food, private flights, or things.
Honestly, that’s the wealth flex. You don’t need durability because you can always replace. You don’t need storage because you can always buy new. Extraordinary good food is ordinary and unremarkable - in fact, noticing luxury is beneath them, because it’s expected.
They can have it all but showing obvious enjoyment of it is for the poors.
After the war ended, what time manufacturers had an excess of chemicals, and they decided that the best way to use up their reserves and sell them off was by convincing the average American returning home that he needed a pristine, perfect grass lawn.
I have a grass lawn because it’s my lawn and I want my kids to have an outdoor surface to play on, lay on, and be organized. No clover because I don’t want anyone getting stung when roaming around barefoot. Grass blades get dirty, get cut, and grow in clean again. It’s one of the most incredible surfaces to enjoy. It has nothing to do with money for me. I’m not rich. But you’ll never win this arguement for me. Love me a nice lawn.
Their expenses are in a different order of magnitude. This is not about someone who makes double your salary, or three times your salary. This is about someone who makes 1000 times your salary, so something costing 1500 USD is below noticeability.
I make 100k a year. 150 million is 1500x the salary.. Some of the people make that on one album or one movie.. try about 5000 magnitude to the avg american.
Aside from the price and all, does she use a damn scouring pad to clean her feet when she goes home? Considering what she’s walking through. Are people really this gross? I remember a friend of mine who would wear these terribly oversized “pajama” like pants. And the bottoms were blackened and shredded under her Birkenstocks. I found it repulsive. Perhaps I’m old fashioned.
Remember when lobster was peasant food? I guess the logic here is that shoes and socks are what poor people wear. We have to walk on common ground and they do not need to so have no reason to have proper footwear. I thought I could not hate the rich more than I already did
Yes. There is a very niche group of frantically bored rich people, who buy absolute trash, with designer logos for ridiculous prices. Balenciaga is famous for this. Normal products, nothing special, just phenomenal marketing and bored rich people.
OK setting the stupid looks aside for a second, I want to talk about the stupid function. There is no way that is in any way comfortable. Your foot is going to be constantly wanting to slide out the front, only to be sort-of-stopped by those strings stretching and digging in against your instep. Then when you pick up your heel, it's going to be the same problem but in reverse. I already imagined what it would feel like and it ruined my night.
I actually understand (understand not approve ) walking around with the million dollars Chanel bag that lets you feel like you're better than anybody else. But these shoes just show the world that you're a moron
Probably. That one seems like it's to sneak around the red carpet rules which require a woman to wear heels. I assume the rule does not actually specify anything about toes so this is as close to barefoot as the rules will allow.
To fuck with us means we should care but we simply don’t. We just laugh at them cause it’s not the 90s anymore and the Hollywood glam is not selling the way they want
some of these should be seen as a visual equivalent of either experimental jazz music, or R&D. They don't make sense because most people aren't the intended audience. It's someone whose medium is fabric/leather experimenting with crazy stupid shapes for its own sake, like a cook trying to figure out if they can make something tasty with orange juice and toothpaste, just as a challenge.- expensive objects like fashion and art do not count for taxes but retain their resale value
Slap a fashion label on something, no matter how silly, and there will be lemmings lining up to buy and wear it. Gotta show off to others with the label!
Best example I've experienced, friend went to buy Montcler jacket. Really likes this one black jacket, but the complaint was the fashion label was black as well and you couldn't see it as well so others wouldn't notice it was Montcler. Bought a different color where the label was prominent.
An abomination along with sandals and flip flops. Wear proper footwear. Nobody wants to see or smell your feet. Plus all of these things are bad for your posture
I have an 1 1/2 inch leg differential. I got excited for a second that this was new product for people like me to be barefoot more often without my back hurting. But no.. stupid rich people crap
I mean, yeah it's silly but also as someone that has heel issues/pain and also likes being barefoot, having something to support or cushion my heel and leave the rest of my foot bare might actually be super comfortable if made properly and not just for "fashion".
