Met Gala

[xp_tarot]

I was going to open a post to comment on the Met Gala and it's theme of 'camp' and

but no

first I think there are better qualified persons and second I am cleaning up feathers from my shoe rack and that is not on

Comments

What's with those feathers, btw? Looks like a fashion designer's funeral in there.

I want to say I have no idea but a bird was sitting on the box of coffee supplies that was delivered this morning so I have every idea and I dislike it.

[xp_daytripper]

Bollocks. Anything we need to look at or just vague omens?

[xp_tarot]

I am not certain yet. Two days in a row when one got into my closet is worrisome, but they have also been around a bit more recently since the loss of my eye, so for all I know it is just symbolic

Could be Raven is just playing with you. Not really my tribe but mostly he just likes screwing with people for the lulz.

I assure you I am unhappily aware of the nature of corvids and this is an ongoing epidemic.

It's too bad basically none of the guests got to the second half of the definition "so bad it's good".

[xp_tarot]

At least most of the women tried but I think perhaps maybe three men did and only Billy Porter really got there and while I hate Jared Leto but at least he tried otherwise it was just boring suits boring boring boring

perhaps less boring if it was the Oscars but this is the Met Gala at least try yes?

Did you see Hamish though??? And Ryan Murphy? They got it and I love it.

[xp_tarot]

I did once I had time to read more than the initial reporting, and I am relieved

but very
very
disappointed in Rami Malek and Taron Egerton

[xp_darcy]

Oh yes, they were very disappointing. Rami could've literally just grabbed something from the Bohemian Rhapsody wardrobe??? Some eyeliner? Maybe glitter? And fit the theme with no effort.

The morning after the Met Gala always feels like I both have had a strange fever dream and a hangover. So, in other words, it's a delight every year.

[xp_tarot]

I feel as though the theme this year prevents the best of "But what is on Celebrity's face" because the answer is 'the theme'

[xp_erverse]

This is a perverse, disgusting display of opulence and a continued funneling of wealth into the hands of the already wealthy.

That said, where do I get my hands on Henry Golding's suit and Ezra Miller's makeup artist?

[xp_tarot]

Ezra Miller is a continued funneling of eyes into the faces of people who have enough eyes already

You need that suit but not the shoes.

[xp_erverse]

No one wore good shoes. All that money and no one could find a decent cordwainer.

[xp_echo]

I think Travis Scott wandered over from the Star Wars set.

I know the "camp" theme is not SUMMER CAMP but oh my GOSH someone could've done some amazing super couture summer camp outfit and it would've fit the actual theme so well.

Miley Cyrus really disappointed me. She oozes camp and did that boring dress? Where's the drama, the overly done ridiculousness???

[xp_pixie]

I agree with on on Miley. She was positively psychedelic when she performed with the Flaming Lips a few years ago. What happened?

[xp_darcy]

Not sure but it was boring! That'd be a cute dress on a NORMAL red carpet, but all wrong for the theme.
