Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show. We're going to have Stubergier with us in just a minute, but I want to start with this. The Met Gala is officially over. Dead. Done.

Once the apex of high fashion culture and A-list celebrity, the gala now looks more like a

sad sack D-list past its prime wannabe version of its old self. It's closer to today's nerd prom White

House correspondence dinner than the center of the celeb and beauty universe as it used to be. This year's

theme was super fine, tailoring black style, an homage to black dandyism. What's that, you ask? No one has any

idea.

Prepare yourself, however, for a deep dive into leftist, academic, gobbly gook, nonsensical talk,

which is probably how it got chosen as the Met Gala theme. That and their desire to pander to black people. The Met says black dandyism came from the intersection of African and European style traditions, of course.

What does that mean? I have no idea. But it seems to be based on a 2009 book written by a woman named Monica Miller called

Slaves to Fashion, Black Dandyism, and the styling of black diasporic identity. Okay, so so far we have dandyism and the styling of black diasporic identity.

Okay, so so far we have dandyism, intersection, and diasporic identity.

So we're bat in a thousand on the scale of leftist code language that will make liberals

sound smarter and feel superior.

Ms. Miller's book provides as follows, quote,

The Black Dandy's style is from the beginning always simultaneously personal, cultural,

representative of the race, and about representation, even as it evaluates norms of racialization,

class privileges, gender assignments, and the rules of sexuality in ways similar to that of his

European dandy brothers. All clear now? No, no one is. The whole point is to lose you and sound smarter

than you by saying words that are totally empty and meaningless. Dandyism for those still lost and

looking for meaning is per the New York Times,

quote, a style of elevated dress once imposed upon enslaved people, remade by black esthetes.
