Naked came the stranger again

Once upon a time Naked Came the Stranger was a sort of literary put-on written as a joint project by 24 journalists under the pseudonym Penelope Ashe. At last night’s Grammys the stranger was one Bianca Censori, the wife of the artist formerly known as Kanye. She is a stranger to me, anyway, and she effectively naked disrobed for the photographers in attendance before leaving the show. Kanye himself remained clothed.

The New York Post hired a lip reader to decode Kanye’s comments to his naked wife. They strongly suggest that the object was to “make a scene.” The Post story includes additional explanations. Still, it’s difficult to understand as anything other than one more step along the path of cultural degradation and disgrace.
