The Met Gala really feels like a fiddling while Rome burns moment.

So did the Oscars. At least the Met Gala is less self congratulatory.

Poo-pooing extreme extravagant frivolity is a poor use of time. Just have a cocktail, sit back and laugh.

It's always swinging back and forth between obscenely indulgent and culturally significant and completely irrelevant in its own sort of three body problem.

I like to be a little naive and think of it like the string quartet on the Titanic in some ways.

Yip, the upper crust of sociciety is unconcerned with the issues that plague everyday Americans. A perfect example of how parasitic they are.

The photos from the WH Correspondents Dinner last week felt the same. People in tuxes and gowns stepping over people protesting Gaza by staging die-ins.

An interesting critique of New York City *society* charitable galas back in 1996, from people who led/ lived it. The Rohatyns were NYC royalty. The Met Gala existed back then too. And Rome is prob always 🔥

No idea why I remember this article, but I do.

Yes. Listening to an interview where one of the guests talks about 'bring community together' when tickets are $100,000 per head seems... absurd?
