Le Petit Hameau du Reine:

Louis XIV's wife, the Queen of France, was a huge fan of Rousseau, who wrote of The Jungle and The Noble Savage.

But here she was, in this HUUUUUGE castle, right? Freaking VERSAILLES..!! All kinds of opulent stuff. She, too, wanted to feel the AUTHENTIC grit of the Jungle and Being Poor, right..?

I know it's ridiculous, but work with me, kay..?

She got out her 10 pots of gold and sent her architecht and workmen out to MAKE HER A HAMLET..!

And so THERE IT IS, her own little Safe Space where the Queen could go and PLAY POOR --she'd milk cows, even.

All to PRETEND like she was in some Rousseau book.

Right up until she got her head chopped off, yup.

Santa Cruz —surfing and getting high. And UC Santa Cruz, THE SLUGS.

Houses near there are INCREDIBLY expensive, but you know what’s fashion, there..?

BEING HOMELESS.

Oh, sure, there are real homeless —TONS of ‘em. Huge problem.

But yeah, there are TONS of kids who appear homeless and they’re totally NOT.

They have a big, warm, safe house where their stable, two parents both slave away for the mortgage.

And they, the “homeless” kid, also lives there. He (or she) just goes around MASCARADING as a homeless.

CLOSET HOMEFUL...? Yes.

And these pants are like that, too.
