Valentine Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Omg the missing stones and it looks like they tried to sew in new bigger ones too. This is basically vandalism
Bubble Tea Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 This thread. Ultimately it was a gamble - wearing the dress to such a major event by such a huge star helped boost the profile of the dress enormously, had Kim not worn it and some poor historical curator had damaged it, I doubt we'd be seeing such headlines. Kim helped solidify this dress as raise awareness of it, which ultimately is a good thing. It's hardly damaged beyond repair.

That’s creepy. How do they clean it? I’m sure they want whatever scent of Marilyn on it.

It’s really scary that these people exist and society just accepts it. It’s not really any different than when people buy used underwear on onlyfans imo.

Slap Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Surely there’s a metaphor in this for how much contempt rich people have for the rest of us. The narcissism is off the charts and all for quick lil viral moments to stay relevant. This is doing actual damage to our society…
James_Dean Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Lost all that weight, and still ruined the dress. Stupid puta
TROPICUM Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I'm torn between two opinions... 1) Compared to all the misogynistic and body-shaming comments she's receiving, it's just a piece of fabric. 2) It is shitty just the way she saw how much her ego would grow just to say she wore the most expensive dress in the world but subsequently ruin one of the most important artifacts in the Americana culture because it could obviously never have fitted her. She should've known better, but some of these comments are just SO over the line. Get a grip, gays
xDiamondx Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Of course KIM would deem herself too important to NOT wear the dress and ruin it with her unrealistic plastic ass.
Lille Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 The fact that she looked like **** in a historical garment she ruined forever...
thetea Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 idk why she wore it, it's a historical piece of american history. it couldn't even fit her anyway, yet she still insisted on wearing it. it was in poor taste. that said, people are seriously overreacting and calling kim a fat ass or whatever is unnecessary

The dramatics and sick comments over a dress are too much. On the other hand, she should have known/done better. But I'm not even shocked.

ElectricFrancis Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Of course her inflated fake ass would **** the dress up
BODERLINE Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Y'all blaming Kim when you should be blaming the museum for even lending it out in the first place.
LatinFreak Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Lock this useless ho and throw away the key at the bottom of a deep lake.

Equal parts, I'd say. A very powerful person putting pressure on them in this day and age is probably tough to decline.
Guest Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 The fact that she took a dress from a museum just to wear it for like one picture, I really hate millionares
Jay07 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 The people that claim no one cared about this dress before Kim wore it should probably close this tab and do some research.

A very powerful person putting pressure on them in this day and age is probably tough to decline. Except they initially DID decline her request to wear it. So they were well aware of what could happen when they ultimately allowed her to wear it. But yeah, she's not completely innocent either. She should have known people would not approve and just worn the replica all night - or opted for another look.
Solar Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Yeah this is a crime for the culture :( Edited June 14, 2022 by Solar

It’s a rock Magna Carta, who cares? It’s paper Michelangelo’s David, who cares? It’s also just a rock Mona Lisa? Dead Sea scrolls? King tuts sarcophagus? No. Don’t be flippant on a forum that is dedicated to honoring an art form. Art is valuable. It’s our only communication with the past and future. It helps tell the story of human life on earth. Fashion is art, and this dress is meaningful in modern American history. It is not comparable to a defaced Hermes, because Marilyn’s dress holds a layered significance. Kim is no Ai Weiwei. She wore the piece for the very fact of its myth, so to her it is far more than “just a dress”. Ai Weiwei broke ancient Han pottery as a commentary on the inherent value of “consumer culture”, and as a critique of the fact that the mao regime purposefully destroyed millennia of artifacts in an attempt to rewrite Chinese culture in his totalitarian image. Historical art is powerful enough to terrify histories most powerful people. That’s because art holds within it a unique and irreplaceable heritage. Kim wore the dress to fulfill her own monstrous narcissism. She doesn’t care to understand the historical or personal meaning that the garment symbolizes. She doesn’t care that Marilyn is said to have asked nobody else wear the dress because it was the only thing in her life that was hers and hers alone. The souffle used to form the dress was fitted to her exact measurements. To Marilyn, this dress symbolized reclamation. The world felt ownership of her body, her image, her life. So she had a dress made to hug that body, a dress she alone could wear, proof her body was hers. Souffle is a fabric that degrades quickly. The garment Kim struggled to fit in is 60 year old textile. No more than a touch will forever alter its integrity, someone ill fitted to it sweating, walking, wearing layers of makeup and tanner, and stepping on the hem decades after it has been preserved is going to damage it. Kim is aloof, self obsessed, careless and stupid enough to think this piece of art was no different from a custom catsuit or a graffitied Hermes. Kim is ignorant and entitled, but worst of all she is callously unable to empathize with the woman she claims to idolize. She excitedly accepted a lock of Marilyn’s hair that was robbed from the film stars fresh corpse. Beyond the inherent creepiness, possessing the hair of a dead Jewish woman is extremely offensive to the faith Marilyn converted to. I’m tired of people insinuating commodity heritage items, art, and artifacts are shallow or lack value. Art is history, art is culture, art is universal. This dress is more valuable than the ego of a sad hollow rich woman who stands for nothing. Art is more valuable than Kim’s existence. Marilyns Happy birthday dress symbolizes a layered and fraught moment in history, it symbolizes an aspect of society we struggle with to this day. It is a symbol of the civilization James Baldwin once dreamed would lead to something better after collapse. Kim Kardashian is a billboard. She is a false idol selling insecurity, faux authenticity, and capitalism. She has created nothing, she has never shared an original thought, she is as faceless and toxic as the dollar she worships. This!
