Sorry, I REALLY Don’t Care About Harry Styles In A Dress On Vogue.
Sorry, I don’t care about Harry Styles in a dress on the cover of Vogue. I don’t. And no amount of hot takes by conservatives is going to make me think this is something that is in any way necessary to my life at all. My complete lack of interest is partly because I have a complete lack of interest or shock in anything the entertainment industry does or puts forth as the “new normal” for America.
This is because mainstream media outlets like Vogue and their counterparts are increasingly becoming irrelevant, which is why they have to pull stunts like this for attention. Remember when “Queer Eye” star Johnathan Van Ness appeared on Cosmopolitan’s cover in a dress? You probably don’t, but it happened over a year ago.
Another reason I can’t even feign shock about this is because male rock stars have dabbled in this kind of thing for DECADES. Celebrities like David Bowie and Prince set the standard for the gender ambiguity of male rockstars that Harry Styles is playing at right now. And they did it much, MUCH better.
I don’t care about Harry Styles in a dress on Vogue’s cover because I don’t care about Harry Styles. Or Vogue. Or whatever male star will submit to being feminized next because entertainers are in the business of attention. Fashion industry weirdos have been sending waif-like girly men down runways in dresses for the past four years, and it hasn’t started an epidemic of men in dresses walking down Main Street because what’s edgy in Hollyweird isn’t going to work for America.
So instead of handwringing about Harry Styles in a dress on Vogue and giving the entire situation even more attention, just do what most Americans have been doing: ignore it. I promise you; it’s a blip on the radar – not the new normal.
