The Met Gala last night and I was excited but worried because the them this year is a tough one to wrap your head around.  Like, I get it but I am not a fashion expert.  I know, I know, you probably assume I am, especially if you’ve met me in real life but I am more just a fan with ideas.  Anyway, the best way to sum it up would be “weird”.  More accurately it is the collisions of different ideas, embracing contradiction and not always worrying if something is well fitting or even practical.  This felt like it could lead to some terrible stuff and well, it did but this is a good day because it has been hard to pick.  There were a lot of really, really good looks.  Now, some people seemed to bail on the theme which happens at every Met Gala.  This is always a shame because to me it’s akin to going to a Halloween party and just putting on a cat ears and underwear and going, “I’m a sexy cat”.  Yeah, you might look good but it’s lazy and this was a real chance to shine.  So you know, there were some very pretty but unexciting looks that are right out for me because if I just saw the dress it could have been any premier.  Of course, there are a few very traditional looks that still almost made the cut because they looked so good.  Looking good can trump a lot of things (which is why all the guys have such an unfair advantage.  Ad some interesting colors to your tux and suddenly you’re on theme and look fantastic.  It’s cheating really).  Of course, there were also some ones that just didn’t work because they were so strange but I am more forgiving than that.  Better than not trying at all.  Anyway, as I was saying, going in I was worried this year could be a let down but it was not.  I mean, not for me, I saw a lot of people leading up talking about how this year would finally prove fashion is art to nay sayers and well… those people are going to be so disappointed. Because that is never, ever going to happen.  There will always be philistines who loudly need to proclaim to the world that they lack taste or appreciation of art.  Trust me, it is never going to away.  I was at an art museum earlier this year and this guy was loudly claiming he could paint this or that because so many people cannot comprehend that there is a difference between art and craft and thus art is not judged based on how technically hard it is to make.  It’s not the scoring of the vert ramp at the X-games.  So that is never going away and if you’re really worried about your favorite art form being recognized by others stop.  It is just going to bring you frustration.  You have your opinions and as long as you can explain why you hold them then they are valid.  If you find you have strong opinions and have no idea why you have them maybe ask yourself why you have them and reexamine them but if you can explain why a piece of art matters to you then you’re good.  You should be confident, no one can take that away from you and some idiot not getting it is sad, but it shouldn’t rattle you.  Anyway, there were like 9 people I could have posted on a normal day but even trying to prune a little based on theme and interestingness I was left with a lot of people left.  5 total.  That’s a lot.  I am going with Priyanka Chopra after a lot of back and forth cause it was on theme and I kind of loved the trench coat look.  It’s a little safe I suppose but like as much as everyone loved Rihanna it was just too much for me.  So I am playing it a bit safe and if you liked something and I didn’t that’s cool.  We sorta just talked about that and it’s probably pretty valid since hers definitely was on theme.  Anyway, if you are curious I also considered Nicki Minaj, Blake Lively, Jessica Chastain, and Emma Roberts.  @femalecelebrityoftheday is going to be very disappointed in me cause I think he was banking on Jessica Chastain.  Sorry dude.  Anyway, I love the ridiculously long train (I mean, I did almost post Nicki) and the converted trench coat look was great and the collar and.. I liked it a lot.  Today I want to fuck Priyanka Chopra.
