Now that I said that
Okay so we know how absolutely wild high luxe brands are. I'm not talking about Jacquemus or Telfar or even Coach (which looks cheap in comparison to some other brands). They have their own time. I mean the brands that got shit going on for nothing. Van Cleef & Arpels, the highest ends of the LVMH conglomerate, Hérmes. I mean Richard fuckin Mille watches. The high luxe that are meant to show and tell, because you damn near can't use it.
G Wagons really look like shinier jeeps unless you get them customized (which a lot of the ones seen by rich ppl are). The car already costs a small house bare boned. Then you're spending extra time and money and having no car just to add more features to it?? Richard Mille might as well be Richard Millions cuz those multi-thousand dollar watches can easily hit a million by themselves. Forget it if you want custom. Cartier has le panthère rings and bracelets that look so heavy and gaudy with the number of diamonds and jewels on it that they seem to be better to leave in a glass box—cuz let your hand accidentally swipe against your desk wearing one of these. "You can get them repaired" aight so what's the cost? "You get all these services" most under memberships—which you pay for—and even if not they're still not just free. Living somewhere where every year there's an increase in Lamborghinis around certain times of year sets as normal until you find out that a lot of ppl rent them for short term and that's it (also costs thousands a day) since the price tag is just too much.
Like there are handbags that cost the same as houses in Miami Beach and have wait-lists that go months to years. For what? VC&A has earrings that would pay my tuition every semester. Can you even be comfortable wearing such things anywhere but somewhere expensive and fancy?? Anything less than a high profile socialite event?? Because are you really gonna be comfortable putting on a $2.3m to walk up and down a new hotel? Or is my tax bracket showing?
Where's the fun in the overly expensive? Some items are so creative and artistic and truly pretty, yet are bogged down by a background of shredded ethics, greed, and arrogance. Others just don't make sense: what's the point of a highly expensive watch that can really only tell you the time and maybe the date? Some would be nice to have—and there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting some fancy/luxury stuff. But every now and then I gotta think about it. At the core, what's their point? It's not worth what they want you to sacrifice. It's not worth what they're sacrificing to create the highly exclusively cradle.

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)
the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)
all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)
you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!
and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!
