it’s okay u can say the Kardashian/Jenners
honestly the kardashian/jenners are just the ugliest most logical extension of this mentality, like distilled down to its most terrible essence
but you’re right so many people are like this
i hate to sound like an Old but social media feeds into a lot of this. i remember back in the day like WAY back in the day, anna wintour would have dropped dead before inviting some of the people that show up now (including kim’s klan)
cuz like, it used to mainly be a thing for insanely rich old money socialites. it wasn’t just money you needed to go, it was a name to go on that guest list. every rich pop star with a bazillion twittergram followers wasn’t invited. but remember, the practical reason for the gala beyond all the shiny dresses is it’s a fundraiser for the costume institute and is actually the single biggest source of funding for it. and when the hilda von hufflepuffs started dying off, the gravy train started slowing down and shit started getting serious. anna had to change with the times, she’s a lot of things but she’s not stupid. at the end of the night they’re trying to get money for the museum, and if that means having to tolerate k*ty perry’s inept attempts at cosplay, so be it
