#met gala
I’m very late to this party but it is so fucking funny to me that there is an entire ass TV show called The Gilded Age that JUST WRAPPED airing its first season.
And yet…
CAREY MULLIGAN The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” | May 02, 2022
Why was Ansel even invited
So it happened. Kim Kardashian wore the Mr President dress at the Met Gala, 60 years after Marilyn dazzled in it.
But is it so tragic? Don’t get me wrong, I still have my moments of “seriously?!”.
BUT.
I have seen Ripley’s video of Kim trying the dress on and to me it appears she understands the importance of that dress and its place in history.
In comparison to what this new Netflix documentary is doing to Marilyn’s legacy and image, is Kim Kardashian wearing her dress for a hot second on a red carpet REALLY that bad? How is that different to other impersonators or people who wore Marilyn’s dresses over time?
My biggest problem is the message Kim is sending to women: you need to lose weight to fit into a dress worn by an iconic woman to be special. Why not just wear a replica? Why not honor Marilyn with your own brand of original to juj it up?
Marilyn was an original and that’s why she is remembered.
At the end of the day, my issues still rest with people like Summers, Mailer, Slatzer and the rest of the money-hungry who keep destroying Marilyn’s legacy with their own brand of lies. I believe Kim’s intentions weren’t malicious and so I cannot simply attack her for the sole act of wearing her dress. Many private owners of Marilyn memorabilia selfishly hide their possessions away in bank safes, never to see the light of day again until they want to cash in on it at auctions. Ripley’s probably saw it as an opportunity to display it to more people. And I personally think Kim intended to honor Marilyn’s legacy and iconic image that still lives on to this day.
As Marilyn once said, the people made me a star. Perhaps Kim is proving her right: the people and history will decide who is the icon and who is the follower.
guys guys a concept
