Last night’s Met Gala was infinitely more gut-wrenching.

This annual gathering in New York, where the world’s most privileged, pampered prima donnas indulge in an orgy of unctuous ostentatious extravagance, has grown increasingly nauseating in recent years as the rest of the planet fights killer viruses, war, and the worst cost-of-living crisis in memory. //

But they excelled themselves with the 2023 theme: “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” And a dress code “in honor of Karl.”

Karl Lagerfeld was… to put it mildly… what all these woke warriors would categorize as ‘problematic’.

In fact, he was one of the most ‘problematic’ people in fashion history; damned by his own words as a racist, sexist, fattist, homophobic, abuse-tolerating, feminist-hating embodiment of everything this A-list crowd professes to most loathe. //

Famously, cockroaches can live for a week without their heads.

Their bodies still function without brains.

It was the perfect guest.
