     [ "The Dress" ]

    1: A dress that is Blue and Black, NOT white and gold. Not that it fucking matters. Maybe your eyes would perceive the dress as being white and gold if you are color blind or if your eyes are adjusting from bright to dark settings or if you mess around with its colors in an image editor just to be a dick. But the point is, people are homeless and starving and football players beat their girlfriends and ISIS beheads people, so who fucking cares about hash-tag the dress.

      * e.g.,  ... The skirt was once practically a gender-neutral garment before the Rennaissance; men and women wore togas and tunics and nobody said anything about it, and leggings were worn beneath for warmth.
