The lumpen proletariat and lumpen bourgeoisie exist outside
the mainstream class system; they are the criminal element who make their
capital gains outside of the law, but they exist there for different
reasons. The lumpen proletariat is forced
there, because of a lack of options, while the lumpen bourgeoisie embraces criminal enterprise because there is no oversight, therefore, more profits to
be made. The lumpen proletariat might be a drug dealer, a person who grew up
poor, without access to education, while the lumpen bourgeoisie might be a Al
Capone- style mafia don.
I am lumpen sexy predicated on a similar idea: if we think
of desirability as a coveted capital, my earning potential has always been,
and continues to be, significantly diminished. At 38 years of age, I'm no
longer youthful, nor was I ever considered to be classically pretty. Still, I manage to continue to accumulate capital from the fringes by staying in shape through restrictive diet and exercise,
doing my make- up in a way best suited to my features, and familiarizing
myself with lighting tricks, and flattering angles, when taking sexy selfies.
