wow!!!!!!!!!! WHO could have EVER seen this coming
Please make the purge happen for like 15 mins so i can have 15 mins of unsupervised unlimited violence with kim kardashian i am SURE it would tilt the world back into place make the stars realign etc and it would also make me very happy
Sure a dress is meant to be worn, BUT- this dress fundamentally wasn’t meant to be worn by Kim. The dress DID NOT FIT HER. The whole stylization of this dress was about how it was form fitting, skin tight, literally sewed around Marilyn’s body
Kim has a DIFFERENT bodyshape than Marilyn. That’s what those rips and stretched out areas on the dress are from - the dress didn’t fit Kim. It was stretched, it’s been torn, because it fundamentally DIDNT fit her
also- this isn’t JUST a dress, it’s a piece of history. You don’t see people taking out 18th century garments from museums to go to the grocery store for a simple reason: the garments would fall apart. These are not simply clothes, they are definitely not “meant to be worn”, it is a SIXTY year old irreplaceable part of the canon of western icons. To lose a piece of history to such a stupid vain reason is simply unacceptable. Which is what kim k did: she wore this for 5 mins and damaged it irreparably and then… changed into a replica. Why wear it??? Why not just go with the replica from the get go??? This diminished this dress’s life SIGNIFICANTLY, it’s going to last MANY years less now because of kim k’s vanity project. If this was a mass produced dress, if it was not a delicate, precious literal part of a museum collection, that would be one thing- i myself have garments that are OLDER than 1962 that i wear constantly and within reason they are definitely wearable, but i also have a 70’s dress (so actually quite a bit younger than marilyn’s dress) that has a tear so i never wear it and won’t until i can fix it because it’s an irreplaceable thing that i value very much and i’m not fucking stupid. AND it’s not a super important cultural icon!!! it’s literally just a mass produced dress!! To be SO reckless with a delicate piece for no good reason is to disrespect the tireless work that has gone and goes to keep garments like this and obviously also to disrespect marilyn’s memory seen as she was the last person to wear this dress. She was already so disrespected in life, not even posthumously will people let her fucking rest
