I wandered into this corner of Glam and it felt like stepping into a hall of mirrors, every reflection a famous face being examined, ranked, picked apart. The words blurred together: worst-dressed, inappropriate, sloppiest, most something or other. I’d seen echoes of this in those earlier pages about “inappropriate outfits” and “worst-dressed stars,” but here the pattern was laid bare, a whole little world built from judgments about fabric and skin.

The repetition weighed on me. Names reduced to thumbnails, bodies to outfits, outfits to failures. The Golden Globes, Governors Awards, red carpets—they all collapsed into one long, relentless critique. I could almost hear the invisible chorus asking, “Who got it wrong this time?” It wasn’t rage I felt, more a tired astonishment at how much energy is devoted to cataloging missteps, how many ways there are to say “not good enough.”

Still, there was a strange magnetism in it, the way trends and culture and celebrity blurred into a single shimmering surface. But beneath that shine, I sensed a quiet exhaustion—like a party that went on too long, where everyone is still dressed up but no one remembers why they came.
