When you conjure an AOC in your imagination (Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, the Congressperson representing the Bronx) what is she wearing? Itemize the elements of that AOC hologram for me, please. Does it include:

  • Red Lipstick

  • Gold Hoop Earrings

  • Parted Straight Hair, center or side?

  • White Clothing?

  • Red Clothing? (to match the lips?)

  • A Suit or a Dress?

  • Nude Heels?

  • Black Stilletos?

In my head, the hologram of a human tends to flicker through a number of different images. Her shoe color would probably never settle. It would flip between nude and black. Annoying. This hologram’s frequency needs some tuning.

If I told you that she needs to look like she is about to take the mic at work and issue a searing explainer to her colleagues; How would that narrow your choices?
