Espresso Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Deflection to misogyny accusations and revisionist history about Marilyn's career. About what I expected here, in addition to damage to the dress. I don't have the energy to be saddened by this as this is Ripley's wheelhouse and if the original owner's truly valued it wouldn't have ended up with them to begin with. The only silver lining here is a lesson on caution for future archival pieces being loaned - that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noonbob Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Ofc it's damaged, and as much as she is wrong for this, the idiots who allowed her to borrow the dress are just as much to blame. Why tf didn't they just say "NO" when she asked if she could wear it?? I hope the money was worth it. 2 hours ago, Keter said: Conservation and preservation of historical knowledge, items, events, technology etc. is important for our understanding of who we are and where we come from. What’s “just a dress” to some of us is a future piece of history to those whose only connection to the time period is what has been preserved. This type of stuff is very important and people who don’t understand that are ignorant and short-sighted. Shame on Kim for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cain Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I’m the first to criticise Kim but it’s absolutely hilarious how no one knew or cared about the preservation of this dress before she put it on Talking about how it’s a piece of history and y’all would’ve probably never in your life cared to see it before May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dress is one of the most famous garments in existence. It is also one of the most historically significant pieces of 20th century clothing. “Happy birthday mister president” was legendary decades before any of us were alive and will continue to be historic generations after we all die. Don’t project your personal disinterest onto everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death & Decay Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 It’s just a dress? Just a piece of fabric? Why did Kim starve herself so she could wear it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares, yall just love being mad about ANYTHING especially when it involves a Kardashian I care that a historic garment with great cultural importance was ruined, regardless of who did it. And a lot of people do, too. If you don't, that's your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly more important than Kim's entire existence, that's why she sought to leech off its history and glamour for herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
