Things Right Now 016
Week of 12.23.24
This week I compiled more signals cosigning my boom boom aesthetics post from two weeks ago:
Cocaine Induced Opulence or Wall Street Wannabes
Snaxshot’s Andrea Hernandez cites some good examples:
John Coogan, co-host of the Technology Brothers’ podcast posts: “Quiet luxury is over. The time for loud opulence is now.”
Ultra premium cocaine from Canadian retailer Delics with Sinaloa’s Finest branding. (Legality ambiguous.)
Anti-Bland Design or Sandisk’s Rebrand
Wedding Toppers or Jeff Bezos’ alleged $600M wedding
Bill Ackman pointed out that spending this much on a wedding would be nigh impossible and Bezos has already denied The New York Post’s reporting—a disappointment. The images of a lavish winter wonderland wedding in Aspen at Christmas would’ve been spectacular.
Boxy Buicks or Kendrick Lamar’s GNX
Statement Stereos or Bang & Olufsen’s Beosystem 9000c
The $55,000 CD players were reissued in April and have already sold out.
