    Prada, 2023:

    Prada, 2022:

    Prada, 2018:

    I might have switched up 23 and 22.

    But uh… what?

    Like, I’ll give you that Prada seems to consistently go for models that kinda look like aliens, with pretty big eyes and generally chiseled or striking features, they try to emphasize triangular faces and chins, strong cheekbones…

    But… are these not generally attractive women?

    … I was going to ask what this person is smoking, but I’m guessing its meth.

        … I once saw a guy rip a page out of a Bible, to use as rolling paper for a rollie, rolled cigarette.

        Called him ‘Holy Roller’, he thought it was funny.

        I’m now imagining something similar but like, with an American Flag… nylon would make for like, the worst fucking rolling paper possible, both for the manual process of trying to make the rollie, and it would just be… complete fucking poison to smoke… but… I’ve seen worse… uhhhhggghhh…

          There’s actually a lot of trans women in the professional modelling world. One friend told me that due to preferences for taller women with particular bone structure, that the field actively selects for trans women. Like, there’s still way more cis women in modelling than trans women, simply because there’s way more cis women in the world, but trans women are disproportionately represented in modelling

          It’s always been that good. Good androgynous bone structure is good androgynous bone structure, she lucked out and would be pretty whichever hormones she ended up on.

          I’ve only done hrt and beard removall, don’t wear makeup or pluck my eyebrows. About year 4 my old drivers licenses no longer looked like me, they looked like my sad cousin.

          I happen to be built like a linebacker so people still “sir” me in person sometimes, particularly if I’m wearing a hoodie, but you would not know I was born with a nutsack from looking at my face (and I didn’t start hormones until I was in my mid 40s).

          I know staggeringly gorgeous trans girls in their twenties, you’d never even know. I guarantee you’ve turned your head at a trans girl (and/or ogled a trans dude) and had no idea.

            I guarantee you’ve turned your head at a trans girl… and had no idea.

            Meh. I’ve seen men catcall and honk at guys who simply had long blond hair running down their back.

    Meanwhile, the ad companies do not care.

    The right wants to claim these companies are on their side. The companies aren’t on their side, they’re not on anybody’s side. If they think they can generate more sales with a fat, black model in a bikini, they’ll do it. If it’s a thin trans model, they’ll do that. If it’s a slim blonde with big tits and a swastika tattoo, they’ll do that instead. Whatever moves product.

    Can someone smarter than me explain why the world is full off fucked up individuals, like why is it so rare to find an actual decent human being, or is it that the worst of us are the loudest and the so you notice those more

      Decades of the wealth class pushing for privatization of essential services such as education by slashing budgets of public services.

      Those individuals also just so happen to have stake in those private entities.

      The result is a populace who isn’t educated enough to know that they’re trapped in an endless grift.

      And the stupider someone is, the more emotionally reactive they are. So we’ve got the people pushing the culture war shit who know that they’re full of shit, and the hapless idiots that pass along the message thanks to being tricked into being scared of their fellow man for inane reasons.

      Toss in organized religion, and baby you got an ignorance stew brewin!

      I think it might be the latter. There is a lot of weird people online, but I don’t know that many of them in real life.

    Not sure if it’s just me, but “wokeness” always meant being “awake” to me, or more enlightened.

    As opposed to asleep, or being a “sheep” as people were referring to it a few years back.

    So seeing some say “wokeness” is over seems to imply to me that thinking for ones self, or being informed is no longer required.
