Tom, dear, yes, you DO look lovely as Latimer. But scoot on back to Silent Witness. I need to see Harry's face when Nikki (and I quote) gets "wooed by a Science Minister". I'm telling you, he wouldn't like it.
In like her second episode when she first joined she mentioned she was married and itâs been bugging me for however many years and iâm so happy itâs finally been addressed
At Monday nightâs Gilded Glamour-themed Met Gala, Kim Kardashian (and paramour Pete Davidson) swooped onto the red carpet to deliver the most talked-about look of the night. Kardashian arrived in Marilyn Monroeâs original, infamous âHappy Birthday, Mr. Presidentâ dress, the skintight and nearly transparent gown she wore to serenade John F. Kennedy, her rumored lover, in 1962.
In an interview with Vogue, Kardashian explained sheâd borrowed the dress from Ripleyâs Believe It or Not Museum in Orlando, which itself had acquired the creation from Julienâs Auctions in 2016 for $4.8 million; the dressâoriginally sketched by Bob Mackie, then designed by Jean-Louisâis the most expensive ever sold at auction. In a press release, Ripleyâs described the dress as âvery heavy:â over 6,000 crystals adorn it, causing the garment to weigh in at around six pounds.
In the aftermath of the Gala, ire has started to brew forth amongst the fashion archivist community: several conservators of fragile garments, including the former Head Conservator at the Metropolitan Museum of Artâs Costume Institute, have expressed outrage that Kardashian went so far as to pull the original gown out of storage and wear it, thereby potentially damaging the garment.
âWhen I was the head of the Costume Instituteâs conservation lab I had to swat off requests by people (including Anna Wintour) to have irreplaceable objects in the collection be worn by models and celebrities,â conservator Sarah Scaturro wrote in an Instagram caption.
Scaturroâs criticism has been re-posted by Marjolein Koek, the conservator of textiles at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Madelief HoheÌ, a fashion curator at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag in the Netherlands. (The Daily Beast reached out to Koek and HoheÌ for comment.)
âIn my opinion, [Kim wearing the dress] was not a good idea,â fashion historian Keren Ben-Horin told The Daily Beast. âIt raises a lot of questions about ethics. Sarah raises very important points that this is one of a kind, historical garment that should not leave the museum. For conservators, there are a lot of things they consider even before they even take any action to restore the dress. Sometimes they might even leave sweat stains in, because itâs part of the integrity of the dress.â
Jesus fucking christ, I thought she was wearing a replica, not the actual fucking dress.
Also she sort of diminished itâs value. This was a custom made dress for Monroe. The last person to wear it was her. Now the last person to wear it was Kim Kardashian. It just feels cheap.
And to edit: it wasnât even on theme. The theme was gilded glamor, and I GUESS you could say itâs sort of gold-ish so sure? But everyone knew the theme was gilded AGE. this is from the 1960s.
And itâs the most disrespectful of Marilynâs dresses to wear I think, because it wasnât a costume that could have been reused anyway, it was HERS, personally, and was custom made to her measurements and dyed to match her skin tone. She had to be sewn into it, and it was the last dress she wore in a public appearance before she died. No one else should ever wear it.
Kim doesnât get theme. She doesnât get history. She just understands she wants something so she does it. She knows even negative attention is good attention âeven better attention. Sheâs appropriated every other culture, why not appropriate American culture?
curious how (at least in the modern era) the master has never choked the doctor or even physically attacked him in a way that is tangible for the viewer but suddenly, now that the master is a man again, and the doctor a woman he is choking her & forcing her to degrade herself in front of him. really curious.
extra curious that I can not remember a time when a male doctor was choked before but I can remember two (2) times the female doctor has been choked by male antagonists.
the master is one male character and not even the only one who does this. its chibnall who wrote these episodes and itâs a continuous theme in them that 13 be choked or otherwise violated physically in a way non of the previous incarnations were. Chibnall is sexist/misogynistic.
