Reminds me of Daniel Radcliffe (I think?) wearing the same jacket or something for months because it made the paparazzi photos useless as people just assume they're all from the same day if someone is wearing the same clothes

Global News did an experiment a while back. The men wore the same thing, on-air, for a week. Then the women did the same thing on the following week. Wanna guess what the results of this experiment were?

Instagram post on it

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 13 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

Wanna guess if it was men or women who sent the emails? Lol

[–] elekitty@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I see no mention of it so why don't you enlighten us with the facts instead of guesses.

and I get your silly little point. But there is such a thing as internalised prejudices and internalised discrimination; so your "clever" little point does nothing to take away from the fact that the scrutiny was greater on women than the men-presenting anchors. lol.

thank you for likening me to the messiah but that's a bit much

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 3 weeks ago

Don't be so hard on yourself, no one's crucified you for treason yet.

I’m glad the emails to the station were curious and not complainy, from the couple I saw. Kind of seemed like “yep women are observant and intelligent and naturally asked a question about a rare occurrence out of curiosity“

Presumably some of the people writing in would structure the world in a less misogynistic fashion, were we to give them magic wands, but they still made observations in today’s world. I would’ve been really sad if all the emails were taking digs at the anchors!

I didn't read through them but I saw a few as they passed and I'm pretty sure I saw at least a couple iterations of "did they run out of clothes", which felt pretty nasty to me

For those wondering, Page Six is basically the shitty gossip part of the New York Post. It's a rag within a rag – an almost unprecedented level of raggery.

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you for that context

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 56 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Wait until you hear about 4x underwear.

Normal

Reverse normal

Inside-out

Reverse inside-out

[–] xavier_berthiaume@jlai.lu 29 points 3 weeks ago

I want to unread this

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Genius, this will save me lots of laundry

You wouldn't happen to have tested whether by the 5th day the normal configuration reverts back to being usable?

In Australia i hear it called black snaking.

But that's from the southerners, we're i come from you can hardly wear the same shirt al day without needing to change

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

yes, just underwear

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I go front, I go back, I go inside-out. Then I go front and back.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 45 points 3 weeks ago (9 children)

Obvs this is my main concern about eventually becoming famous. I wear the same clothes all the time.

Will my fame save me from this? Some famous people get away with it. I never hear anyone saying "you know, JFK always wore a suit".

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Which actor made it a point to always wear the same outfit in public to fuck with the paparazzi? In my head I remember Daniel Radcliffe doing that.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago

I think it was him

Yeah, always wore the same thing out of the same buildings to make it so all of the photos they got looked like it could be the same day, rendering them nearly worth as much.

[–] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

it's okay to wear the same clothing multiple times if you're a man. if you're a woman you have to throw away everything that you've ever even slightly touched

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There was an Australian news anchor who wore the exact same suit weeks in a row and nobody cared.

If his female co-anchor did the same, it was immediately in the headlines

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not like there are a lot of options for men in that role though. His entire wardrobe probably all looks the same.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Noooo, he can wear medium grey, dark grey, dark blue... and... uhhh...

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Steve Jobs and Zucky Wucky got away with it. Maybe just make sure you get famous in the tech industry.

[–] ellen_musk_0x@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

But none of their stans are clicking on articles about what they're wearing unlike Katie here.

The paparazzi version of Zuck or Jobs is writing an article about some stupid thing they do, even potentially damaging behavior, and convincing the reader it's evidence of brilliance.

They wear the same shit because they have no fashion sense. But it's been spun as "I can't waste any precious brain power on mundane decisions" which is such a load of BS. What it's actually demonstrating is they're both dunces, incapable of picking up basic social skills, unable to engage in basic social behavior, uninterested in exploring something simply for the sake of relating to others.

There's all sorts of conclusions to draw.

But nope, the things you or you do daily well enough by glancing at others, and checking out a store or two is IS JUST TOO MENTALLY TAXING AND WASTING THEIR BRAIN JUICE

Thats why you have to get your fame from wearing the same clothes

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Vermin Supreme for President

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'll never become famous because I'm doing absolutely nothing to pursue fame. However, if I were to one day become famous, the paparazzi would be bored as hell because I wear the same outfit every day. Except when it's above 10 degrees, then I swap the jeans out for shorts and ditch the hoodie - but then that's my outfit for the next 5-6 months.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My main concern is I'm not doing anything interesting enough to make me famous, so to become famous without making any significant changes to my lifestyle would be really strange

Are you sure she isn't buying a new one each time?

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's got to be it. She knew he was going to die so she bought ten of all his coats.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 30 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Heck you can re-wear your underwear, too. Only really need to change when they start getting hard.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So you're saying, when it starts getting hard, take off your underwear?

[–] takeda@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes, but you should wait until you can hammer a nail with it.

Well, you can do it without question. You’re a pleb. I’m personally appalled that someone of her status would do such a thing though, like some sort of degenerate, homeless jezebel.

[–] Eric_Pollock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago

Absolutely not, I would never! I throw my coat away each time I use one, and buy a whole new set at the beginning of the week. What a peasant!

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

Man's been dead for 14 years, it's not like he's gonna come out with a new collection anytime soon

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Page Six

Well there's your problem

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No you have to destroy the planet through conspicuous consumption! /s
