As a fashionista I am loving this
Not blasphemous but they were all 100% tacky as F.
Good. More middle age rantings for the whole world to see how backward they are. They should be yelling about all the pedophilia and cover-ups by their own hierarchy. What about all the jewel encrusted religious people wear from day to day to show how pious they are. What is it about the sanctification of symbols, religious and national (flag and rituals)?
Fashionista huh. you would love our take-it-or-leave-it store (not).
I also buy from consignment shops as it is lots of fun.
@AmelieMatisse You would absolutely love an annual event we have here to support our transfer station and take-it-or-leave-it shop. It is called Trashion-Fashion. [lopezlibrary.org]
Well, as a lapsed catholic, I didn't see much wrong with it. Were they offended by a woman wearing the miter? Meh. Were the offended by the fact they have been a major influence on art for centuries... a little rediculious. I have not seen much to be offended by.
Women's bodies are on display and men's aren't in these types of events.. It's an unequal sexualisation that irritates me.
There were some creative looks here though, I have to say... but overall religious iconography is so passé. It's tedious. Crucifixes have become synonymous with pop stars and fashion houses.
It's not just last season, it's last century.
Part of that is the men aren't as much into dress up as the women although I'm hearing that Tom Brady is getting bad reviews for his jacket. And unfortunately a lot of women what to go for the shock and awe of sexual clothing. Haven't seen many men in a cod piece or loincloth at big events. And also men get bashed as gay when they go over the clothing edge, and that is sad
Everyday I wake up and the first thing I think is 'I sure hope I don't offend the Catholics' pfft, whatever.
It's no wonder their god doesn't make himself evident; he spends too much time crying in the corner whenever a mean human teases him!
I don't understand why these movie stars wanted to look "catholic" in the first place.
Actually it wasn't in order to look Catholic. The event is the annual Met Gala to raise money for the arts and the theme was how religion has effected fashion. Honestly I would not have wanted to go dressed as a nun....maybe Joan of Arc complete with white stallion would suit me. And I don't think the Baptists or Seventh Day Adventists are doing much of interest in religious regalia so you have to pick the Catholics who always overdo it. Think of it as a very expensive Halloween party.
My favourite comment there was
So much blasphemy, I'm glad I'm not watching it
That sums up up the religious attitude to the world in a nutshell.
