women as items for conspicuous consumption: sociological images

by violet blue on April 8, 2009

This week Details ran a short feature called “Girl Not Included” which I find pretty sexy, but Sociological Images put it in the context of conspicuous consumption in this entertaining post. Not to be confused with fornifilia (women as sexualized fetish objects of furniture) — anyone know the name of the fetish on display in “Girl Not Included”? Prize goes to the first correct answer.

These ads have been reproduced on a number of feminist websites with decrees of sexism and objectification. Yet I personally don’t find this images offensive (and I don’t think cause I’m a guy!!). In fact, I think these images are very sexy and erotic. After seeing his entire array of images, I don’t think Bela Borsodi’s intent is to degrade. What I see is an extremely hot woman covered with shoes, belts and purses.
