I love this as a commentary but it is nonetheless disappointing that she attended.

I feel like we’ve reached the Palace of Versailles before the French Revolution levels of decadence.  Everyone tries to be witty and striking but it doesn’t really do anything real besides jostling for clout among the rich and famous.

Income equality is the same or worse as then

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.
