trying to do a thread about Ali Wong's masterful iconography but twitter is not letting me upload images for some reason she filmed both of her major comedy specials while pregnant, a genius move. this is from Baby Cobra, 2016 https://t.co/QqJVzm6va4

this is close to the peak of what one could reasonably hope to achieve with deliberate iconography – being associated with a simple object and/or motif. almost like the nike swoosh or mcdonald's golden arches https://t.co/W1K1TEcmUh

this is now a thread about iconic visuals first some, supporting evidence that eilish actually got this done this is not an easy feat!! a lot of more successful artists (i'm thinking maybe even rihanna and beyonce?? or mariah carey, etc?) don't have such iconic images https://t.co/Ji8UrBQroX
