Ah, to Be Fifty Years Younger
Okay, I know this has nothing to do with music, but this DIOR ad on the back cover of the current issue of Vanity Fair is the most adorable thing I've seen in ages.
In today's modern times I must ask: What gender are they? Does it matter?
Welcome to the Village of the Damned. Stepford Wives? Husbands? He, she, they? I'm guessing that that is the visual point of the ad.
Steve: you find the ad adorable, I find it challenging. Remember until 2016 I taught high school teenagers for 42 years so I got to know the upcoming generations pretty well.
Happily married guy (31 years) - I love V/F and a subscriber for 20 years. My friends look at me sideways when they hear I subscribe to it. My "Chrisley knows best" guilty pleasure. ;-) Rob

The 21st century is an interesting place.

ReplyDeleteToo many people get hung up on things that don't matter. They all look great to me.

Note the shoes.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't as sexless as you might think.
And yes, I would dress like this now if I were of the right age.
