She’s giving vapid
One good thing about it: None of the Trumps were invited.
The problem isn’t design, art, wonder and occasional luxury. The problem is wealth distribution.
Museums and art are important. It’s a big successful fundraiser for art historians, and in that respect I think it’s great. Vibes-wise it’s fucking rancid though. An indulgent, tone deaf celebration of wealth that ultimately benefits a good cause.
I’m sorry, but I do not think that raising money for high fashion is in any way important given the current problems the world is facing. It’s like asking for donations for fancy new curtains while your fucking house is on fire.
We do not need high fashion to survive. If every fashion designer dropped dead tomorrow, I promise you society would not crumble. We need healthcare. We need housing. We need our basic fucking needs met. Until that time, I will call events like this a collosal waste of time and money.
It’s not raising money “for high fashion”, it’s raising money for the art historians at the Metropolitan Museum.
It raises it exclusively for the Costume Institute at the Met, which the group that preserves historical clothing. I just… Fuck. Are you really serious? How the hell do you look at that amount of money, look at the people starving on the streets, and conclude that this is a worthwhile function. Thats just fucking insane.
Sorry, we can’t afford to build new housing or addiction centers, but thank God we can continue to preserve an evening dress from the 1940’s. That’s truly what matters in society.
We could raise money for art without decadent rich people parties if we just like stopped hoovering up all the money and giving it to rich people.
But we might see bewbs!!!111!!11!
I wanted to know who skipped the event after Bezos got involved but I found out it’s Zendaya and Lady Gaga and I realized I don’t really give a fuck.
I thought “soandso” was an actual name lmao
Right up there with whatsherface and theuglyone.
i have been trying to decide on my latest stage name (my first garage band was called “Some Band” to give you an idea of what kind of creativity we’re working with here) and i’ve added Soandso and Whatstheirface as a last name to the “oh gods this will make my wife roll her eyes” list so thank you all kindly for your help.
Move over Zendaya - there’s a hip, new mononym in town!
Just mispronounce it a bit. It could work
Sohandzho
It’s really confusing because it’s actually twins, Soh and Zho, but they never appear together and you never know which one is which. Former twitch streamers, they now perform 10sec long shoegaze/dubstep inspired trick-hop in the secret twin language they invented as children with a smattering of Victorian era slang, and it’s only available on the Glut app. You have no idea what any of this means but have realized this is why your 11yo keeps babbling “trickie burr, trickie burr”.
I really did too
I mean yeah but Heidi Klum dressing like a statue and scaring other attendees by pretending to be an exhibit is very funny to me
bringing street performance to the otherwise least street event there is
fart
penis
The Met Gala just screams “Hunger Games” to me. Events like this are what society celebrates when it’s past it’s prime, bloated and diseased.
I feel like I’ve heard the name before but this year it seems to be much more prominent.
Yes, it’s extraordinarily distasteful.
My distaste for billionaires has gone from “high” to “stratospheric” in the last 5 years or so. Quite incredible really.
Filthy rich circle jerk.
They seem to be begging people to watch it. Lol the more advertising there is for a thing, the less I want to do it. I think the begging is so tacky.
Who gives a shit about the Bezos party?
It was really just the corporate gala this year.
The what what
It was interesting looking at the different outfits for five minutes or so, then I got bored.
