Museums and art are important. It’s a big successful fundraiser for art, 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.

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.

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.

The problem isn’t design, art, wonder and occasional luxury. The problem is wealth distribution.

One good thing about it: None of the Trumps were invited.

It was an entertaining 10 minutes of looking through the outfits, there wasn’t much I liked h this year but fashion is a perfectly valid interest.

We should keep idolizing the wealthy. That seems to be working out well.

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.
DrSoap@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

It was interesting looking at the different outfits for five minutes or so, then I got bored.

Art is for times of peace. We are currently fighting a class war.

I assume this is something in the news, but I don’t even know what the met gala is.
Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If something happens and you don’t notice or care is it really news.

if the kids in the shallow pool crowded into the deep end, the deep end would be filled with drowned bodies, so let the shallow kids stay in the shallow end out of the deep divers way
