This is Bruce Jenner, who is now Caitlyn, because he's a transsexual. This makes him an oppressed minority, which is why he's on the cover of Vanity Fair.
Bruce, sorry, Caitlyn, used to look like this.
Conde Nast obviously stands for necromancy.

Possibly the only thing more nauseating than his transgender surgery (and the hype around it) is seeing him in a photoshopped glamor shot on the cover of a magazine. Vanity fair, indeed. Bleh.
ReplyDeletePhotoshopped? Surely not, that was necromancy.
ReplyDeleteHe will be more famous than the rest of the Kardashians because he represents the "new progressive ideal".
ReplyDeleteYes. The greatest civil rights issue of our times.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Bill Clinton knows...
ReplyDeleteNow begins the national conversation where we all pretend none of this is very strange.
ReplyDeleteIf I had ever read Vanity Fair, which I haven't, I would stop reading it because of the photo.
ReplyDeleteJenner is a sad, sad, sad case. How can we all not have vast compassion for somebody that screwed up? How can we as a people paste that perversion and deviancy on publications? What does it say about us?
Society is ill. Very ill.
That's a good question, Brighid.
ReplyDeleteThe new normal just keeps on getting weirder, Infidel.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it says anything good about us at all, LL. VF is a nasty book -- remember how they supported Wendy Davis?
ReplyDeleteI recall a church I attended about a decade ago where a man, at least a decade older than Jenner, had gender reassignment therapy as it is called today and was an active member of the congregation. Sadly, his choice had alienated his children, who could not accept him, and had isolated him from his grandchildren. It was all quite pathetic and tragic. Jenner has the benefit of celebrity and the interest of the celebrity machinery, at least for now, but at some point she will be a sad and lonely old person. I've seen heterosexual people isolate themselves from family and loved ones through divorce, adultery and addiction, so I suppose this is one more variation of our broken and sinful condition, but on the pages of VF it is celebrated as personal freedom. Curious, and sad.
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, I heard the new editor of "Maxim", a journal I don't read, interviewed today and she announced that she is "rebranding" Maxim so that it will celebrate a newer and more profound kind of "hotness", one without, presumably, corsets. Such is progress.
Cheers, MP
What 55 year old woman would want to appear in public dressed only in their underwear?
ReplyDeleteThere's always Madonna...
ReplyDeleteWhen one reaches a certain age, a good night's sleep can work wonders.
ReplyDeleteIs Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner an "attention whore"?
ReplyDeleteI can't help but thinking that the once famous for being an Olympian felt eclipsed by his wife's and step-daughter's attention and wondering if that spurred the move to the limelight.
Nothing like a good night's sleep, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteCaitlyn's sure got a lot of in-house competition, LL, so I guess he's trying to, er, balance things out a bit.
ReplyDeleteWho is this person Jenner? Have I missed something padre? What about his/her wife and child? Is he somehow related to that weird bunch the Kardashians?
ReplyDeleteJenner was the most famous athlete in the world, ever. Now he's the most famous transsexual in the world, ever. And sure enough, he married a Kardashian. He's been given an award for "courage."
ReplyDeleteGor blimey guv...now I've seen it all.
ReplyDeleteApparently the Iranians carry our more 'gender reassignment' surgery than any other nation on earth, and the government pays for it. Go figure that....
ReplyDeleteI've read that, somewhere. I think they do it as a punishment... I forget if they stone the perp afterwards.
