Makes sense. Uncle Karl is usually trendy with young adults, but its reaching the post-WTC Attacks era in the early-mid 2000s again, so there's a lot of media outlets jumping on with "10 things" and "All you need to know" articles.
It's funny. My father remembers the same thing during periods in the 70s and 80s where everyone was reading Communist Manifesto, Atlas Shrugged, Animal Farm, The State of Revolution, etc. Seems to be when a young generation somewhere are unhappy with the way things are going and looking for alternatives. It's excellent because it breaks the mould and reminds people that they have power and can influence change, liberty, and direction. It encourages people to consider things they did not know were options.
Unfortunately she looks like that.
I do not know what she does behind doors...or if is true love. But it must be really good because if I am rich like him... I am not staying with her 😂
I don't know, maybe he's a big fan of the Barbie movie (now available on streaming on Amazon Prime videos) and is cosplaying as the Patriarchy. Not even a Ken, but like, the literal personification of the Patriarchy.
Cowboy and cowgirl costumes are fun to wear, but they are just that, costumes. The only acceptable reasons to pretend to be someone you're not on camera is either you get paid for it as your job, or if it is really, really funny.
It's not just the hat. It's posing in a vintage American pickup truck with the American West in the background. It's a persona that has no correlation to this man and has been used for decades as a marketing ploy to sell cigarettes and other garbage so I'm immediately suspect and judgy.
of course, and everyone is free to have some glamour shots taken of them just for funsies, regardless of what they're wearing. What puzzles me though is why vogue is posting this
There is a lot of shit talking going on in this thread, and I support all of it. BUT, I do want to give ol' Jeffy some props for dating someone his own age.
As someone who has a wife that watches those terrible house wives of... shows it's absolutely sad how they all have all the money anyone could ask for yet do these absolutely horrific botched jobs to themselves and somehow think they look better this way. I have come to 2 possible reasons, 1. Nobody is willing to actually tell them just how awful they look now, or 2. Everyone at that level does actually believe this looks better, but only because it's a status thing? I guess a possible 3rd would be that so many people they surround themselves with look like this so they all believe this is what true beauty is?
It's just crazy to me that anyone would go through all this effort to modify themselves so badly AND pay a ton of money and time to do so. 99% of the time the before always looked wayyyy better.
I don’t really know about everywhere else but the places I’ve been stateside, even in some really more underserved areas, there seems to be a really weird cult of money, status symbols (including people) and masks. It’s terribly hmm, dare I say “plasticine.”. Shakespearean, even.
Not quite. Bill went big on the philanthropy angle to sell his "likable geek" image and bury his cutthroat businessman past.
Jeff is more on the midlife crisis egotrip with the space-dick measuring contest, the biggest yacht competition, and personal trainers to become buffed middle-aged billionaires track.
If the image looks awful, its only because these magazines have functionally laid off the bulk of the staff that make their images look decent. The old armies of makeup artists and camera crews and copy editors are replaced by shitty software and a few overworked unpaid interns. Shoving raw digital photography through some dollar store Face Tune software is the best the World's Richest Man gets when he's preening with his newest trophy wife.
Why did you see this and think "that'll fit into the lemmy I want to be part of" instead of allowing it to languish somewhere I'd never have had to see it?
Keep doing you op, I guess the community agreed with you.
I prefer the bicep debate... Did that get photoshopped, or did he do that thing where you twist your arm meat a little before resting it on the edge of the seat so the skin from the back of your arm makes a fleshy bicep shape as long as you dont move?
His wife's mouth looks like a baboon's asshole that farted so many times it deflated. You can't make toast but you could certainly warm bread in that thing.
Billionaires really need to take a cue from Ty Warner (the Beanie Babies mogul and still pretty contemptible) and stay the fuck off social media.
You don't get to be sympathizable once your extreme gains are assuredly ill-gotten. You get to hide in your mansion, swim in your lucre like Scrooge McDuck, and have your marketing team filter and massage your outgoing public announcements.
Oh fucking please. Dude grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, last I checked that's a nice little city even back in the day, country-lite my ass. Dude's about as country as Jason Aldean.
