That one time in 5th grade when the kid with the fruit snacks wouldn't share his fruit snacks with me, and instead ate them as I watched.



I stumbled upon a feature in NyMag about an editorial in June's British Vogue. This editorial happened to feature model Daria Werbowy on location in Kerala, India. She is wearing a dress by Ralph Lauren that is about 48 times as much as the average yearly income of a person in Kerala. Well, I'm sure the elephant she was washing in the photo didn't notice it cost over 15 thousand. To be honest had I been the elephant I wouldn't have noticed. However, I would have wondered why she had a paint tarp wrapped around her.  (At least the tarp featured at right is blue) The editorial only managed to exponentially increase the speed at which I shook my head in disbelief a few pages later, in which Miss Werbowy is photographed with local children, and riding a public bus.

here is the inspiration for this post on NYMAG.com

prelude

"Prelude" means that there are things, other than this prelude on my priority list which i would like to share. So, I should keep it short and sweet. 1. this is intended as social commentary. 2. I'm not very funny. 3. when i self-analyzed, I realized the creation of this blog is probably an attempt to glorify my own opinions. I'm not sure how i feel about that. 4. The articles will be inspired from whatever crosses my path both on the internet and in the physical world. I, suppose that will do.
