the disappointment yall feel with the MET gala is exactly what you should expect when yall ask a bunch of protestants to just make catholic aesthetic happen

protestants: i was inspired by the sisitine chapel for this piece

me, a catholic: but where is the sin? where is the undying fear of God? where is the sadistic passion for suffering? where is the overwhelming clash between lust, gluttony and the fear for God’s judgement upon the sins I am bound to fall for? what a waste

you know, i love the idea of the met gala in theory… but in practice its really the rihanna show and rightfully so cuz these other celebrities just disappoint, you telling me that you get a delicious, wild theme like CATHOLICISM and your first thought is a sparkly dress or a bland tux????!!?? Where is my 14th century pope??? Joan of Arcs??????Nuns???? Why don’t you look like you bout to take over renaissance italy with your banking empire?? You should look like u bout to poison somebody with a gem encrusted ring!!!! Like you about to split from the catholic church and start a war with spain!! this is the one event we plebs get to witness opulence at its grandest, i should feel like an enraged 18th century french peasant when i see your outfit, i should want to guillotine the entirety of hollywood but i aint seen nothin worthy of my guillotine tonight smh

not to be dramatic but a hyperfixation on beauty ruins art and thats why all the looks are so boring/unimaginative for the met gala . where’s the UGLINESS? wheres the NARRATIVE? where’s the SHAMELESS DECADENCE as a VISUAL SHORTHAND to express EUPHORIC RELIGIOUS RAPTURE? this isn’t the time for clean simplicity and restraint! honestly 

wokepriest:

the theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination. It’s the hottest theme and you could get so sexy and blasphemous or even just straight up dropping in ornate gold and jewels, weeping Mary’s, bloody saints, the stigmata, holy robes repurposed into high fashion, but I guess we just get a bunch of boring assholes wearing played out versace pieces and basic jewel toned prom gowns
