I love this so much for so many different reasons. First, I smiled the entire time I was reading this, and felt like I was right there with you. Second, you put to words everything I feel about the “flauntfest” of the scene chasers in the Hamptons right now. It’s at once enthralling (because…really!?) and appalling (because…REALLY!?). I’m no angel, but I’m also no fan of the bunstocking (lol). I miss the days of the micro skirt and when slashed dresses were risqué. There’s really nothing to reach for anymore.
My favorite line, though:
“Realistically, (is anything real anymore?)”
I feel like this sums it aaaalllllll up right now.
Oh dear God. The rich took over the eastern end of Long Island. My grandmother had a house in Amagansett, and we went as kids and teens to visit her every summer. in the forties, the fifties and sixties. It was a quiet little village nobody had heard of, I wouldn't go back there now, not for love or money.
Thank you for this interesting read! It seems objectifying and shaming women is still alive and well. Maybe I missed the Women’s Rights Movement’s and The Me Too Movement‘s response to the Bunstocking phenomenon. Looking forward to a fully clothed response.
