Fashion That Makes Us Sad: The Olsen twins' possibly classist, definitely tacky, all-plaid party

editor

This is one of those stories that's not worth a lot of attention, but just enough to say: I hate it when rich people think it's fun/funny to dress up like they're poor. I hate it in trust fund New York hipsters, I hate it in bratty-elite high school kids, but I especially detest it in celebrities who are worth billions. There are these photos floating around the internet of one of the Olsen twins and a bunch of her friends (including Nicole Richie) wearing flannel shirts and shredded black tights hanging out in some mansion, drinking bad beer, smoking cigarettes and beating up a piñata. It's like a theme party. It's kind of gross. you can check out all the glorious shots by clicking here.

    Dressing up for a party or for another occasion (Halloween) as the stereotype/caricature most commonly known as “redneck” or “white trash,” is not necessarily dressing “poor.” There are, unfortunately, many Americans who earn what is considered a middle-class income (engineers, architects, physicians) and who also dress this way. It’s okay to make fun of them. I don’t think we have to be so politically correct that we exclude the vast majority of American citizens from our list of whom it is socially acceptable to ridicule.
