November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin! Stratogale! April 23rd, '57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!

I'm assuming the DoD covered Edna's costs in the Incredibles universe since Rick was complaining about how expensive keeping the Supers around was.


275MPHFordGT40

I assumed that was because of all of the property damage and not because of the super suits.


Specken_zee_Doitch

Oh that's the topic at hand, but Bob didn't seem too stressed out about visiting Edna even though he was driving an econobox and she lives effectively in a palace.


rasheedlovesyou_

This is a horrible suit, darling. You can't be seen in this. I won't allow it. Fifteen years ago, maybe, but now? Feh

reddit_is_geh

The amount of rich trust fund chicks that are interior designers are off the charts. Here in Palm Beach, I swear to God, I run across an interior designer every fucking day. Like do they not realize the rest of the world isn't stupid and can do basic math, and understand that there is not nearly a large enough market to handle all these interior designer jobs? Like we all know it's just a BS job title you give yourself because you do some interior design a few times a year, MAYBE, but really is just a cover for your trust fund that generates income from multiple rental properties you inherited? We know! Everybody knows! Use a better cover story!!!!!


TheJerkyDevil

Is this a generational thing? Most older rich people I know are not shy about flaunting their wealth every chance they get, even if it's an unearned inheritance.


pfohl

more of a return to a ["leisure class"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of_the_Leisure_Class) type thing. same thing you see with wealthy tech people who "farm"


reddit_is_geh

I dunno... I know younger people DEFINITELY have a cover story. Lots of hot 20 something chicks, either through inheritance or escorting (sugar baby, whatever you wanna call it), come up with stupid ass fake jobs that are transparently not the case. Like oh, you are involved in realestate? You're 25 with 5 rental properties? Interesting... It's not that they deny inheritance or privilege but they'll always try to have some cover story to kind of make people think they have a normal day job, instead of the reality of just working out, traveling, going out, etc all day... I found with the older ones, usually it's the wife who wants to feel like she has a career, so their rich husband opens them up some boutique business that runs at a loss, but at least they get to say they are a business owner. If you go to really affluent neighborhoods you'll see these boutique stores EVERYWHERE, ran by trophy wives, with hardly any traffic and everything being so god damn expensive. I'm pretty sure downtown Santa Barbara is just one giant money laundering operation.


zomiaen

> really affluent neighborhoods you'll see these boutique stores EVERYWHERE, Hours: Monday: Closed Tuesday: 3-5 PM Wednesday 11-1 PM Thursday: Closed Friday: 1-2 PM Saturday: If we feel like it Sunday: Also if we feel like it


redbirdzzz

even better: by appointment there's a goldsmith in a very expensive neighborhood in the town I work in, close to the historical church and a michelin or michelin-wannabe restaurant (to show what the rent is probably like), and it's literally just open by appointment. seriously, I always suspect that really niche little stores that have been there for years are just someone's expensive hobby. or that they own the building so profit doesn't really matter much. they're too fancy and sell too little to be a money laundering scheme, so how the hell do they still exist otherwise?


jelvi

This applies to me, so I will chime in with my personal opinion: IMO having a cover story/lying about your job is because I don’t want to flaunt a lifestyle or make others feel lesser than them just because I have been fortunate to have that lifestyle, or because I am trying to fit in with others by alluding to having a job like everyone else. If you admit to having a trust fund or living off your SO, you are mostly either judged or used. I just tell people that I’m a freelance artist, and they usually don’t ask too many more questions because they don’t know how freelancing works. The last part is true about trophy wives trying to seem like they’re doing something, so they run some BS business or become a MLM life coach or something. Mostly they try to be some health influencer on Instagram or Facebook with their only followers being other trophy wives in the neighborhood. Or they do some cringey craft shit that they try to sell but only their friends are willing to buy.


reddit_is_geh

OH I know why. I get it. I'm from a very affluent area and it wasn't until nearly my 30s I realized what was going on. I just remember in my early 20s so many of my friends were always like "Uhh yeah, I am a DJ" and never questioned how being a DJ can afford them a penthouse in LA... I guess I just assumed they were doing well and that's the perk that comes with the job. Or friends who were in realestate and just thought, "Man they must have really timed the market well and gone on a roll..." It wasn't until I was about 30, thinking of moving back to said beach town and was like... Wait a minute! There are no well paying jobs in this town... It's all successful executives and business owners, and low paying retail jobs... How are all these people in their 20s affording these 1 million dollar homes? And then it sort of all hit me at once lol... But like I said, I get it. Soon as people find out you don't actually have to work, and THAT'S why you have such a killer social media travel history... Or your travel blog doesn't actually make all the money, and you aren't actually some online web guru, but it's just a hobby... People get resentful. If not resentful, they always start assuming you should pay for everything, or get pissed when you don't bring top shelf stuff to a party. Or worse, when you do actually have a real life achievement everyone will try to dismiss it or minimize it because you're rich. You're basically forced to either only hang out with other trust fund kids who get it, or hide it. But yeah, the wives job's are always ridiculous. Like you said, it's just a local economy among friends all selling and buying from each other. But every now and then you'll come across something like a real fashion designer who actually makes a lot of money with her business, and she's immediately the queen bee lol


frogdeity

I live in the Palm Springs area and work in a field that is rife with these kinds of people. Rich middle-aged white women with dyed blonde hair driving white luxury SUVs that have a “design” company and are just absolute headaches to deal with in my industry. They are always demanding, condescending, expect you to kiss their ass every step of the way, and they want impossible things.


reddit_is_geh

It always blows me away how these insufferable type personalities tend to climb to the top like that. I'll never fully understand it.


frogdeity

They don’t climb to the top, they marry into or are born into wealth and start their “business” out of boredom or to feel important.

Because they are pretty and not a bitch to the husband


taleo

Are they designers or decorators?  I think interior design is a real discipline for determining things like wall placement, outlets and other fixtures, large furniture and other things to make sure a space is useful and also safe and within code.  Interior decorating is about picking out curtains and throw pillows. Just googled it.  In many US states, you need a license to be an interior designer.

pawiwowie

Yeah, Edna is awesome actually!


louchebit928

I have to believe that anyone who dresses and looks like this is intentionally going for that style. It's like she saw Edna Mode one day and decided, "Yep, that’s how I’m going to shape my image."


LifeAcanthopterygii6

Yep... and it fucking cool!


dangling-putter

I know! She looks like an interesting person tbh!


forrealthistime99

More likely she's going for the style of Edith Head.


TheExtreel

This lady honestly looks more like edna than the very inspiration for edna


My_BFF_Gilgamesh

Yeah it's interesting to see how few people know that Edna is a caricature.


M00nageDramamine

Edna was based off of Edith Head. So maybe it was that.


marr

Either way it can't not be intentional.


ZenAdm1n

This should be higher up. I love pop culture homages in animated films. As your breath of knowledge expands you get more of the jokes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Head


DoranTheGivingTree

It's a very popular fashion style amongst American artsy academic women of a certain age. Edna Mode's character design is riffing on it, this lady is signalling her place and status in society via her outfit. If you saw a CEO in a black suit you wouldn't say they were inspired by Boss Baby!

To be fair, men's fashion is atrocious and we need to abandon suits asap otherwise it will be forever boring

Bigger glasses, bigger bank accounts—it's a fashion statement and a status symbol.


Iamthe0c3an2

Fashion, yet she literally ends up being a charicature of a fashion designer. Like there’s and endless combination of looks she could have gone for.


TheExtreel

I honestly wonder how people reach the decision to look like cartoon characters. Like, it's impossible this lady doesn't know she looks exactly like edna right? It has to be on purpose


DoranTheGivingTree

She looks like Edna Mode in the same way that Donald Trump looks like Kingpin - in that Donald Trump dresses in a certain way that's coded to mean 'powerful businessman' and Kingpin is a parody of that style. This fashion is understood to mean 'arts/academic woman of a certain age and bearing' and many people dress like that to signal their position and status. Edna Mode is a parody of that style, not the originator.


TheExtreel

While i do get your point completely. I've never looked at kingpin and thought "Donald Trump", because they just wear suits suits all the time. Plenty of people wear suits all the time, yeah powerful businessman, but also lawyers for example. The edna mode look is just so specific. And yeah i get it, edna mode looks like that for a reason, but idk the hair style, the glasses, the clothes, like you cannot possibly look like this without being aware you looks exactly like a cartoon character and making the conscious decision every day to keep looking like that cartoon character. Like i just saw pictures of the women who inspired edna, so belive me i totally understand what you're saying. But it's impressive how this lady looks more like edna than any of the women she was actually based on. I guess its just funny to me when someone looks exactly like the parody of a style more than the people who inspired the parody.


Lucky-Asparagus-7760

Maybe she's doing it on purpose just to call people out for having immature taste in movies?  Edit: to clarify, I love this movie!! Hope you're down voting because I'm not contributing anything to the conversation and not because you think I hate the movie. 


TheExtreel

>call people out for having immature taste in movies? I legit cant picture anyone but a snarky 13 year old movie snob saying this.


Lucky-Asparagus-7760

Haha, I didn't say *I* thought it was immature taste in movies; I'm saying maybe she's baiting people to potentially look dumb? I don't know


TheExtreel

Oh my bad, i guess i misunderstood your comment


Sad-Information-4713

Maybe she's totally unaware of the character. Maybe she's never seen the movie. I haven't.


serabine

No. Edna Mode was created after women rocking a certain style, often associated with the fashion or art scene. Those women don't just stop existing just because someone based a cartoon on them and the cartoon is all other people know. Edna is said to have been based on Hollywood costume designer Edith Head. With some Anna Wintour and Iris Apfel sprinkled in.


LocalRepSucks

Kinda like bigger truck smaller weiner


4yza

I haven’t thought about it practically before, but maybe it’s nice to be able to easily spot them when they’re off (like set down somewhere), and not having to pull a Velma to find them.


Lucky-Asparagus-7760

As someone who can't hardly see without my glasses... That would make a lot of sense. I've been wearing narrower frames for the last couple of years, and I thought I was losing them more often because my vision is getting worse. But I also used to wear the hipster, thick, black-framed glasses and when I think about it, they were easier to spot. High contrast! 


PM_ME_IMGS_OF_ROCKS

You should see [Iris Apfel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Apfel)(one of the people Edna was based on)
