Julia Fox recently attended "The Cursed Amulet" Halloween party in NYC on October 30th. Never one to shy from attention, Fox decided to dress up in the outfit Jackie Kennedy wore the day her husband was assassinated right next to her. Kennedy refused to take her outfit off for Lyndon B. Johnson's swearing-in ceremony, as she wanted to "let them see what they've done to Jack." We all know the story. 

When Fox was asked about the look on the red carpet, she described her costume as "Jackie-O-Nasty," and said, "Tonight I'm serving bloody diva, single mom who's about to cash that check!" Naturally, people criticized Fox's choice, calling it tasteless and inappropriate.

After seeing the backlash, Fox took to instagram to defend her choice. She says it's not a costume, but a statement about "trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance." She also said that Jackie's choice not to change out of her outfit was "beauty and horror. Poise and devastation. It was performance, protest and mourning all at once."

What do you think Peckers? Was this outfit truly a "statement" as Fox put it, or was it a crass bid for attention?

True believers claim they are protecting children, protecting borders, protecting tradition and culture. Florida bans books and black history. India muzzles journalists and opposition. Hungary calls outrageous censorship “Christian values.” America passes laws that sound like Bible verses while looting the treasury like thieves.  Historically, what follows is the peak, the magnificent glittering rot. The leader becomes a brand with a PR team. News becomes a farce. Billionaires buy the airwaves, the content, and microphones. Law enforcement budgets swell while libraries and hospitals close. Anger becomes performance, cruelty becomes currency, and conspirac...
