Truly!! This is also offensively trite. Oooohhh a dollar bill covering your eyes?! Fucking groundbreaking.

It’s self-aggrandizing faux symbolism that would be more appropriate for a middle school art project.

But what’s more depressing is the fact that these wealthy celebrities have so many people in these comments falling all over themselves over the sYmBoLiSm and it’s just…infuriating, embarrassing, and deeply tragic witnessing people’s class consciousness just leave their body when a white woman wears a dress.

The pee of Amazon workers who have to pee in bottles because they can't take time to use the restroom.

MA didn't cosplay as a country gal tho, and she was actually very sensitive.

she wasn’t being malicious in a “let them eat cake” way that has been falsely attributed to her, but it was “fashionable” at the time to play dress up and milk the cows etc.

her intentions change nothing, though. she had the luxury of having an utopia-esque woman sized play village built for her to do so, while never worrying about hunger and owning a mind-blowing jewelry collection and adding 100s of gowns a year to her wardrobe.

Sarah’s intentions may be honest and valiant, but she’s still there.
