thinking is rubbish — and rubbish isn’t cool
Friday, June 13, 2008
If there were really any question, it’s now been answered: life imitates art imitating life imitating god only knows what. Evidence: Nathan Barley fashion has appropriately hit Manhattan at UNIQLO. The window displays are full of mannequins wearing uberhip candy-colored Japanese sweaters as pants. Terry Richardson would approve. The idiots have won.
The idiots are self-regarding consumer slaves, oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection; they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into handheld twit machines about that e-mail about a woman being bombed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He’s an idiot, too.
Well fucking futile.
