Bespoke Icon of the Week: Camille Paglia!

Ok, before you run and hide, hear me out. She may be the kind of woman whose total absence of softness scares men shitless, but there’s no denying it, Camille Paglia is a mean dresser. She’s not dissimilar to Margaret Thatcher, really, with her power-dressing, liberal-despising, anti-feminist approach to life. The only big difference is perhaps the red hair, which is surely dyed.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind me objectifying her like this. Image is everything, and she must be fully aware of that. Besides, I can’t help thinking she deserves some respect for upholding masculinity - and the ideals of consumer capitalism - in the face of a pervasively androgynising, leftist influence.

So perhaps we should sit up and listen to this witch? She did, after all, rave about the ‘sublime male poetry’ of construction and design in the modern world. And what represents this 'poetry' better than the bespoke tailored suit, an article of clothing that conceptualizes everything transcendentally capitalist and authoritatively masculine in man? Don’t be scared. Give Auntie Camille a hug, snuggle down next to her bespoke-tailored side and let her tell you the stories of the Maenads who tear men limb from limb.

I don't know who she is but by the way you describe her, I cannot help but have respect for her.

Thanks for stopping by! I wasn't sure what kind of reaction my 'sexist' posturings would inspire, but you've reassured me that I've done this brilliant woman justice. I love the way she's managed to piss off so many intellectuals on both the left and the right. Check out 'Sexual Personae' if you're interested. I'm sure she'd approve of what we're doing here at www.asuitthatfits.com because she loved the beauty of machismo and our suits are nothing if not beautiful. :-)
