Highlights: The new bra in Kim Kardashian’s lingerie range, with its “daring” raised nipple detail, goes on sale on Halloween, but not, I think, because the effect she’s going for is “scary”. The sales pitch is “No matter how hot it is, you will always look cold”, but I’m not sure “cold” is the look she’s really after, either; the word “perky” has also been floated. Kim is offering you the chance to look permanently turned on, by everything. You could be ambling along with nothing on your mind but a knotty Wordle and half a to-do list, and thanks to the Skims perky bra, sprinkle random erotic charge all over everything. Would this make your day better, or worse? Hard to say, but definitely different.

    Am I barking up the wrong tree here, but isn’t this like, the hypersexualisation of women that I keep hearing about? Being perpetuated by… a woman, who will sell loads of these to her adoring woman fans…

    This is very strange to me.

      Women aren’t a hivemind. Some women are fully onboard with hypersexualisation…

      There’s a difference between men objectifying women, and women being sexual in their own way. We CAN avoid the former while allowing the latter.
