Modern Narcissism and Over-Consumption

[Angela]

I don't think there's anything wrong with making money and enjoying what it can buy you, but enough is enough.

Chiara Ferragni's wedding: not one, not two, but three wedding dresses; private planes with their hashtag on them ferrying their guests to Sicily; an over the top reception that looked like a carnival.

I've always found her shallow and annoying, with her obsession with her own looks and adorning herself, and having to announce every second of her trivial life, but this narcissism is just beyond.

That said, how absolutely childish of Stefano Gabbana to put out there that she looked "cheap" just because she didn't ask him to design her dresses. It's also patently untrue. She may be an incredibly superficial woman, but she has excellent taste: not only are the three bride's dresses spectacular, including the Grace Kelly wedding dress inspired one, but so are the bridesmaid's dresses, the flowers, everything. Like Kim Kardashian, she may be famous just for being famous, and making money off it instead of for actually doing something worthwhile, but "cheap" looking she's not.

Hopeless, all of them, including the idiot rapper husband, who really is "cheap" looking with all his disgusting tattoos. That she would choose him just confirms my opinion of her.

A lawyer by training she's parleyed her blog and instagram into lucrative deals with Lancome, Swarovski and many others. Stupid she's not.

I wonder who paid for that wedding? And, I wonder when is she going to file for divorce?

I find it funny that feminists think, that the land with no marriage - the Yongning region of China - is a model matriarchal society:

Yes, Mosuo women control household finances, have the rightful ownership of land and houses, and full rights to the children born to them. But political power tends to rest with the men and "really big" decisions, like buying a house or a machine or selling a cow, are made by the men. Plus, the official governmental leader of the village, the mayor, is a man. Men are responsible for almost nothing, they work less than women and spend the whole day with their male friends. They also sleep with a different woman every night.

I think the Mosuo men know better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_l9D7tEixc&t=5m15s

Marriage was invented to benefit women. For men, modern marriage has almost no benefits and a lot of risks (including divorce):
