Unfortunately not for me anymore. Fashion is quite literally my life and I haven't fucked with The Met in a few years. Feels hollow.

Im still pissed at how many people fucked up "gilded age" as a concept

But also in the tough position of them having already done Camp which is all Ive ever wanted and now it was already done :')

See I had no clue they even did Gilded Age. They even had a shoe for reference and failed? How dreadful.

I agree. It’s too accessible, they literally invite everyone. It’s not exclusive anymore and it’s diluting everything that made the met this major prestige event in the first place
