black dandyism or just being black in costume?

I don’t know if I was dreaming or what,
but I think I watched a documentary that a Foxholer suggested to me about black dandies.
For the life of me,
I cannot remember the name but it was about African dandies who live in a poor town or something.

anyhoo,
i really enjoyed many of the looks at the met gala this year.
(some of) the fashions gave drama and decadence.
you can tell who did their homework.
the theme this year was about black dandyism and had a 98% black committee.
black dandyism was used as a political statement.
learning pharrell had lisa from BLACKPINK wear rosa parks on her crotch:

that was not the tribute he thought it was.
it was tone deaf at best; performance art at worst.
i still don’t know what the hell he had sabrina carpenter wearing:

it giving ringmaster at the circus.
i don’t even want to get into that symbolism with a white vixen.
tiktok had thoughts and i watched a video that put things into perspective

saquon barkley gave nothing; jalen hurts gave everything

Oh,
Saquon,
was it worth it?

some people simply don’t understand the assignment.
either in life choices or for events.
nothing drives me crazy when it’s a themed event and people dress out of theme.

That’s like the time I went to a pajama party and people showed up in jeans.
Here I was,
wearing this fly Tommy Hilfiger pajama set I got on sale from Macys.

Only about five of us showed up dressed in the proper attire.

nfl baller jackal,
saquon barkley,
could have tried a little harder at the met gala.
he looks like he is wearing a leftover from the espys.
where is the white fiance?

his teammate,
jalen hurts,
didn’t have scheduling conflicts last night tho…

billy porter doesn’t need the met gala, right?

billy porter,
in my opinion,
is someone who suffers from “bigego-isitis“.
remember when he was the hot ‘n’ happenings while pose was going on?
all the black folks who hate anna wintour are cheering him on today.
as you know,
or didn’t,
he called her ( x the b word ) after trying to prove his point.
in doing so,
he ( x lost his invite to the met gala ) going forward.
once a staple at the event will be no more.

 

he shouldn’t be upset tho…

they set up camp to be homophobic about odell beckham jr (met gala)

camp.
ironically,
that was my word of the day today.

camp (n): something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate, or out-of-date as to be considered amusing

a style or mode of personal or creative expression that is absurdly exaggerated and often fuses elements of high and popular culture

that was the theme of the “met gala” last night.
as a fox,
who lives a good theme,
that always means you dress in your most outrageous.
nfl baller wolf,
odell beckham jr,
came in “his” most outrageous…
