WOW! just perused the image gallery for the #MetGala over at Harper's Bazaar and it's not only super-uninspiring, but for maybe a couple of people who understood the assignment. it's the beauty aesthetics of most of the people attending that is very late-stage capitalism with a bad take on trans-humanism. the 1% and their millionaire lackeys are really into that waxy Real Doll skin aesthetics. baffling.
the theme is about Time for Spring or something like that. this has nothing to do with but because it's Cardi B. and she's always an exagerá, she gets to ride the mammoth
am from NYC. i used to see SJP around the village from time to time.
this is the most Sarah Jessica Parker thing Sarah Jessica Parker could do. i give her credit for being so committed to being the quintessence of the GenX fashionista.
also, fuck Andy Cohen for giving us the Kardashians.
can't remember what Luke's hover doohickey is called, but this special effect really blew us away back then and, JFC it's amazing how all of the special effects are still as fresh as they were back in 1977
i follow the @DorotheaLange account that posts her work now collected at the Library Of Congress #USLOC; so i decided to do a little #MayDay search to see what history of the United State is hiding in plain site.
i think this is somewhere in the West Village area, close to the Meat Packing District. am going by that rounded corner, the cobblestones and trolley tracks. you could still see those tracks, back in the 1990s, if you walked just a block west from HB Studios.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: took me a little longer to post this because i hadn't seen anything like it. it's a 1865 cartoon that needs a good #Alt4Me:
titled, "The first of May 1865 or gen[era]l moving day in Richmond, Va." it's supposed to show "Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson vacating premises in Richmond as African Americans and poor whites look on"; but look at that division of classes in the Confederacy leadership & the working classes. https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2011645385/
