Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin flop is bigger than Katy Perry

Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin space tourism trip, which aimed to promote “performative femiladyism,” has faced significant backlash after flopping.
The trip, which included pop star Katy Perry and other women, featured “space suits” that required Spanx underneath due to their tight cut.
Many have mocked Katy Perry’s enthusiasm for the trip, with some suggesting it was staged or faked, including a video of Bezos falling on his face in Texas.
The trip has been criticized as a marketing stunt gone wrong, with some accusing it of showcasing the “utter defeat of American feminism.”
Social media is filled with debates and ridicule about the trip, with many questioning the authenticity of the experience and the motivations behind Bezos’s promotion of the event.

Doubtless you know the contours already: Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez, pop star Katy Perry, and four other women did a big space tourism trip in the name of performative femiladyism, wearing “space suits” cut so as to require a pair of Spanx underneath. “We’re going to have lash extensions flying in the capsule,” Sanchez said. “We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut,” Perry said.
