The Metropolitan Museum of Odd...er, ART...runs a "gala" for gals to show WHO they are WEARING. This Halloween-ish freakshow gets dizzier every year. Keyed to some exhibit or other, now that the Met has a bargain basement where they display "Fashion" as ART, the latest one arrived a few nights ago.
It was a nightmare. How much of a nightmare? Even Piers Morgan was appalled.
Confessing to being Catholic, who wrote a column for the London Daily Fail...er...Mail, in which he declared that the theme, which was an homage to Catholic-themed art, was actually a disgrace.
Indeed, there's a difference between admiring paintings of "The Last Supper," church sculpture, jewel-encrusted crowns, and a golden reliquary, and some dizzy rap moron strutting around showing her cleavage or a has-been horse-faced TV star grinning while wearing the Nativity on her head.
Like so:
Did the gruesomely equine-faced Ms. Parker realize she looked like a costume worn by Weird Al Yankovic in a parody video on Lady Gaga?
Mr. Morgan noted some of the other God-awful outfits on display:
The only sour note in Piers' screed was to imply that the Met Museum would never dare offend Muslims or Jews by such antics. He's partially correct. Muslims have a teeny tiny very small bunch of extremists among them who are prone to blowing shit up. So, yes, the Met would NOT want to offend a group that have notably killed people over cartoons.
But the Jews? Let's get real. Orthodox Jewish clothing, like Amish clothing, is hardly high fashion. Even if you can go find a half-Black half-Jewish woman to wear some oddball fashion atrocity (is Lisa Bonet available?) who would be offended? And what would they do about it? Jews don't explode anything, except maybe a roast in the pressure cooker.
