6. There’s no nice way to say this: During Art Basel, female artsos dress even sluttier than women in Miami the rest of the year, which is quite a feat. Can anybody think of the daughters?
1. Artists writing shit in neon — even in an ironic-I’m-writing-shit-in-neon kind of way — needs to stop.
Amen.
