I didn’t bother watching the royal wedding but, from what I’ve heard, the highlights were:
A child with her hands over her ears;
A hat that looked like Cthulu;
Yes, that arse. Many in the media have celebrated and collectively fetishised Pippa Middleton’s arse. Many in the media have then criticised the celebration and collective fetishisation of Pippa Middleton’s arse by others in the media. I have no strong views myself.
Much as I agree with Melinda Tankard Reist at The Punch that the objectification of women demeans us all, I consider Kate Middleton to have been objectified to a far greater degree than her sister’s buttocks will ever be. The new Princess’ role is merely to be beautiful and silent, a symbolic figure for the world to pin its fairytale fantasies, unrealistic expectations and pretty dresses onto. Post-honeymoon, she will be whisked off to a castle in the clouds (or at least a large house, semi obscured by the drizzle of Anglesey), far from friends and family, to become a full-time housewife. If that’s every girl’s dream, I’d rather stay awake.
Anyway, I digress. If you’re a fan of Pippa’s posterior or are simply an arse aficionado, Sabotage Times has compiled a list of links to related articles and pictures, including a slideshow of (marginally NSFW) “devastating derrières”.
