We’ve come a long way, maybe

Did you know:

In the 16th century, eating an artichoke was reserved only for men. Women were denied the pleasure because the artichoke was considered an aphrodisiac and was thought to enhance sexual power.

Did you also know:

In the 21st century, not only are women allowed to lasciviously devour artichokes to their hearts content, they may also go about dressed up like one if the House of Hermès has crafted for them a handbag in a matching colour.

Plastic is my aphrodisiac

    The dress looks like one of the bridesmaids’ outfits from that “toilet paper wedding dress” competition.

    This reminds me of the credit card dress that the designers from “Priscilla Queen of the Desert” created, I believe for the Oscars.

    My mistake. The one from the Oscars was floor length and made of Amex gold cards.
