The Best Vision Pro Accessories & Why You’ll Want Them
Vision Pro is launching on February 2nd with a good number of first-party accessories and in-box items.

Picture all the problematic, harmful trends that have come and gone in the last 30 years: waif-like figures and heroin chic in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, then, from the 2010s until now, the synthetic amalgamations of the waif-figure plus the “hard body” of the 1980s. While the former had many women and young girls starving and depriving themselves, the latter had influencers urging them to “just work hard at the gym” in order to obtain perfectly flat stomachs and thigh gaps, while at the same time having large boobs and butts (we all know, or should know, this look is greatly facilitated by plastic surgery).

Indeed, we’ve long taken it for granted. When I was about 12, I received a large — unsolicited — Estee Launder makeup sampler for Christmas.
