Sleeveless : Fashion, Image, Media, New York 2011-2019

Essays and stories on fashion, art, and culture in the New York of the 2010s. I still wanted to know that the articles were being published, and in large quantities, but reading stories of abuse and humiliation was as stupefying as a hangover. I didn''t feel empowered; I only felt more hopeless. I wanted to watch the patriarchy go up in flames, but I wasn''t excited about what was being pitched to replace it. If we got all of it out in the open, what would we have left? My fear was that guilt would destroy the classics and there''d be no one left to fuck. All movies would be as low-budget and as puritanical as the stuff they play on Lifetime, all of New York would look like a Target ad, every book or article would be a cathartic tell-all, and I''d be sexually frustrated but too ashamed to hook up with assholes, or even to watch porn. --from
