I am doing personalized copies of Everyone is Lying to You (the greatest #tradwife murder mystery of all time) when you order from Bluebird Bookshop. I promise I’ll make them hilarious. Today’s article is further proof that the #tradwife has gone mainstream and this book is more relevant than ever.
In case you haven’t been served up the most ridiculous thing the Internet has to offer this week please let me introduce you to Evie magazine’s RAW MILKMAID DRESS.
This week Evie magazine, conservative Cosmo, the one that recently had Hannah Neeleman of Ballerina Farm on the cover, released what it is calling the RAW MILK MAID dress at a price tag of nearly $200.
It’s very similar to what Neeleman wore on the Evie cover, but apparently it isn’t a BF collaboration.
They’re definitely taking a piss out of the whole raw milk uproar, but it’s also a real dress that people can buy. If you want a primer on how the right is harnessing raw milk in identity politics this is a great read from
.Evie is promoting the dress with cheeky messaging about raw milk and freedom. The brand's advertising includes lines like "Warning: Wearing this dress may get you arrested for being too hot." Make no mistake, this is how the far right wants women to dress and be, or at least some of them do…..plenty of conservatives are actually pretty horrified about this, but more on that in a bit.
In the name of service journalism, I have ordered this dress. And I’m gonna milk some cows while my perimenopausal boobs flop all over the place. I assume one of my own udders is just going to fall out of this flouncy top.
I do this for you.
The Cut is asking has tradwife core gone too far?
My answer is: Oh wait and see how far it fucking goes. It’s gonna go a lot further.
