This is not a joke. This is not a drill. This is a real, actual article about the apparent “impact” of and meaning behind Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s collars. Here’s a taste of the madness:
Today, as a Supreme Court justice, Ginsburg continues to stand out — literally, visually — by virtue of the decorative collars that she famously affixes to her judicial robes.
Given her historic position and stature — she’s the second female justice, appointed in 1993 — you might think that Ginsburg would have little need for such sartorial distinction. Yet, her collars make crucial symbolic points, albeit subtly.
OMG. They’re talking about bedazzled collars. Can you even?
In adopting the collar, Ginsburg was following a tradition established by Sandra Day O’Connor, the court’s first woman (appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981), who sought to feminize her robe with a simple white lace jabot. Ginsburg though, expanded the concept, amassing an entire wardrobe of collars, collected from around the world, in a wide array of styles ranging from simple half-circles of fabric or lace to elaborately beaded and jeweled affairs.
Beyond their role as a feminizing touch, these collars constitute a communication system, a kind of fashion semaphore.
That’s just a taste. It’s just a ton of fawning over her super feminist collars.
