Hooray to Michelle Malkin’s “Sombreros, qipaos, and Catholic cosplay, oh my.”
She wrote exactly what I have been thinking.
I checked out photos from the Met Gala, and could not believe the crass usage of Catholic and Christian symbols, sacred to my faith.
I read about the verbal attacks over the qipao. I am wondering what is happening.
No-OK sombreros and taco parties, but A-OK mitres and the Kardashian family and others channeling St. Joan de Arc and Blessed Mary in diamonds and outrageous skin exposure.
Therefore, I am going to demurely wear my Chinese silk coat or my Japanese kimono, and woe be to the idiot who scolds me.
Each represents good memories and in the case of the kimono, three years of training in proper wear and care.
My wearing them is not to demean nor mock, it is in respect for those whom I met as I traveled and the intricacies and beauty of the fabrics.
Ethnic clothing and food are quite different from sacred symbols worn on someone’s butt.
It’s hard to believe that the clothes at the Met Gala were worn in respect of the church.
I know that trying to reason with some liberals is futile but surely they are intelligent enough to realize the hypocrisy.
I wonder what the politically correct police would think of people who go to the India Holi festivals who are not of that nationality.
Or non-Italians eating pasta or pizza at Gordy’s.
So does that mean Rep. Maxine Waters should never eat Swedish meatballs?
I truly hope this insanity is not being taught at our schools and Peninsula College.
Enough is enough!
