[Gallows humour, recent death]
I was sad to note the recent passing of fashion designer and icon Giorgio Armani. He was 91, though, so at least he didn't go prematurely.
I understand the funeral arrangements are that he is being buried in an *extremely* expensive casket, and once a year they […]
The #ConspicuousConsumption is right out of control. Look at this #Suburban nightmare. Gods only know how much #carbon is pumped in the air in #gasfumes; so they can feel smug and superior? But fuck the #environment, Louise needs to see I got a new Birkin! Shame on you #attentionwhores.

Jane Birkin’s original Hermes bag sells for $10 million. A set of photos from CNN—one of the the big leather bag and another with Birkin carrying her bag, overstuffed, under her arm. “Breaking News” label in red.

Dear Mr Veblen,
Are you sure #conspicuousconsumption doesn't mean "having tuberculosis in public"?
“When a device moves from solving problems to signaling status, it leaves utility behind. What follows is conspicuous consumption — and with it, an unsustainable economy built on ego, not need and here we are!”

I’m onboard as anyone with celebrating life milestones but reading abt 2k ‘bed parties’ (filling a bed w school paraphernalia) to celebrate college acceptances and weddings that involve 2 or more designer dresses makes me wonder WTH pple are thinking.

Candy Cane Corner polar bear display, once hung, now de-elevated, propped on the floor next to a barren shelf that only recently held purchaseables bearing Christmas cheer™️

The bottom of an escape shelf at a local Target the day after Christmas, covered in glitter
A closer view of glitter scattered on an escape shelf, so redolent of the Christmas cheer™️ available to buyers only two days previous.

Thorstein Veblen’s leisure class in action: A billionaire spends $6.2M on "art" (a banana duct-taped to a wall), then eats it. Conspicuous consumption turns absurd when wealth isn’t just flaunted—it’s devoured. #Veblen #ConspicuousConsumption #LateStageCapitalism #ArtWorld #WealthInequality
