#event: met gala

aria boughton @ the met gala, 2024.

joining laure stephens as her plus one, aria wears something on theme but not particularly eye catching. the jewelry is all borrowed and will be returned, but the dress is new and will be donated after the night is over. she keeps mostly to herself, head down & completely out of her comfort zone.

next year i dare the met gala to make the theme "you can't wear black and white"

As Gabriela Hearst described it, “Each individual star is hand-crafted from recycled silver and glass beads and has been hand-embroidered in place to appear as they would be seen in the night sky of the Great Plains on the summer solstice, including the Orion and the Pleiades constellations. The Pleiades, specially requested by @lilygladstone is embroidered at the neckline of the cape as a custom closure. A total of 493 stars and glass beads were hand-crafted and hand-embroidered, taking over 120 hours to complete…Kiowas believe that upon death they go back into the stars, and by looking at the Milky Way they are looking upon their ancestors. For Keri Ataumbi, co-creating a cape and dress covered in stars embodies the idea that Lily is supported and embraced by her ancestors. Blackfeet also share this worldview of the Milky Way, calling it the Wolf Trail, so Keri’s vision immediately had an inherent and profound resonance with Lily.”

we need to de-glamourize hollywood. impossible to hold an industry accountable when they are successfully selling the world a myth that it's a privilege to work for them (often for free, in insane conditions, while being forced to live in one of the most expensive places on earth). the glitz, the costumes, the fantasy, the parties, the paparazzi, all of it draws the public eye away from some very ugly realities.

so what do we replace it with, culturally? well to start with, cosplayer conventions--

blockout 2024 is happening!!!! millions of people are blocking celebrities who are silent/neutral about palestine (and other things such as the congo) OR are open zionists.

celebrities will lose money and attention without follows, views, or their stores. there are accounts on tiktok giving block lists, and some include:

taylor swift, drake, the kardashians, tom brady, the jenners, kanye, dj khaled, madonna, billie eilish, bad bunny, jay z, kevin hart, and many many more

blockout also encourages doing other things to make celebrities lose money, such as going to their online shops, putting as much as you can into your cart, and leaving it on the payment screen. this causes the store to lose money as when your items are in the cart, they are essentially on hold and will cause a huge drop in stock.

you can also sign up for these stores with your email and mark all emails as spam. when you see an ad for these celebrities and their affiliated stores, report them and/or press not interested!! this messes with the system and tells tiktok/other medias that these ads are unwelcome and will put out less of them.

this is mainly for celebrities but includes any influencers. youtubers, artists, political figures, anyone. and when they realize that they are losing money, they will pretend to care. do not unblock them!!!

remember that the people have power, even if it feels hopeless🇵🇸

While we're on the topic of war and genocide

Around 40 thousand Palestinians have been killed so far, and a ceasefire has yet to be granted. The number will continue to grow, which 50% of are children. In fact, every 15 minutes, a child is killed. That's 100 lives prematurely taken every day. Not by sickness or natural causes, but by other human beings. Humans beings who are cornering and targeting civilians. They're being exposed to death and suffering no one ever should be. Isreal is committing war crimes, witholding food and water from the Palestinians, among other things. They are taking their human rights away from them.

Also, please take time out of your day and read up on the silent genocide in Congo. Over 6 million killed in the last decade, over 40 women sexually assaulted every day.

And, lest we forget–there are muslim camps in China. Where they're being beaten and women gang-raped on a daily basis, and that's just scratching the surface.

Edited: The wars in Ukraine and Sudan is still ongoing. Please do not forget about them either.

I know money is not accessible to everyone, but educating yourselves and spreading the word is.

If you have more information to add, or know of other horrible things happening in the world that needs our attention–please do post and tell us about it.

No help is too little, so lets do what we can.
