If you were wondering why the met gala sucked so much it’s because The Garden of Time is a story about the rich desperately clinging onto their obnoxious displays of wealth and opulence for which they continue to plunder dying resources. It ends with the working classes breaking over the garden walls to get their asses. The people at the met gala can’t meaningfully engage with the theme because it’s about them and how much they suck. They just wear ugly flower prints instead.

“Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.”

—J.G. Ballard, “Introduction to the French Edition of Crash!”, in Selected Nonfiction 1962-2007

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world… 

- J. G. Ballard, Kingdom Come

You pick a JG Ballard story for the Met Gala theme and it’s not Crash??? Sad. Fumbled.

So Monday was another very exciting mail day for me. On ebay recently I purchased a Japanese promotional pamphlet for the movie High Rise.

I was also lucky enough to add a pair of Tom's trainers that he wore during the movie from the production company who made the High Rise movie.

okay you know that video of that guy that’s kinda fine but hella uncomfortable to watch and he’s like ‘what would you do if you saw me at the red light and we made eye contact and I said to you (unnecessarily long lip smack) wassup babygirl’

like.
