A Friendly Reminder That NYFW Is Nothing But A Zoo

For those of you who don’t know care, New York Fashion Week is going on.

New York Fashion Week is one of those special times of the year. It brings everyone together to remember how out of touch and irrelevant the people who participate in it really are.

But being “artists” and “alternative” and all, NYFW participants are largely unaware that they’re a spectacle. And that’s what I’m here for.

Let’s take a look at the most disturbing looks this year’s fashion week has brought us.

Нью Йорк для меня больше, чем просто крутой мегаполис. Я тут всегда заряжаюсь и вдохновляюсь. Это город, где до тебя другим нет никакого дела, однако каждый готов прийти на помощь. Тут такой бешеный ритм, что даже Москва по сравнению с ним кажется размеренной и спокойной. Но почему-то от этого ритма я совсем не устаю и всегда скучаю по “большому яблоку”, ведь тут легко быть самой собой. Если вы любите Нью Йорк – ставьте #NYFW #NYC #style #maybelline #макияжвбольшомгороде #streetstyle #streetfashion

Wowza. There it is. Right outta the gate. In case you missed it, her corset says “Send Nudes.”

But that could just be an isolated fashion blunder, right? Wrong.

I present to you the man in sequin pants:

Just so we’re all clear, that is a man. In rose gold sequin culottes. Paired with a safari hat. And what seems to be a junkyard chain draped around his neck.

Next. I’m gonna let this one speak for itself:

And because nothing says style like wrapping caution tape around your neck:

Let’s turn up the heat a little:

This week was one of the most challenging, fabulous experiences a queen could ever hope for, and I KICKED ITS ASS!! #DragCon, #NYFW, #LGBTExpo, a photoshoot with @kennyrodz, and the return of the #burners all at the same time. I am so grateful to all the kind, stylish people who inspired me, my @houseofyesnyc family for keeping my spirits high, @jbcstyle_ for having me as one of their #fashionweek brand ambassadors, and @trishadbordeaux for being a spectacular friend and sister. You, my love, have a heart of glitter and I hope the sparkle never blows away. Thank you for being my sister. I don’t know if it was the severe lack of sleep (30 hours over seven days), or the excessive @redbull I consumed, but I discovered massive growth in my skills and soul as an artist and I’m excited to embrace these discoveries and share them with the world as I elevate my drag to its next level! #endpost #excessivelylong #post #ilovenewyork! #inspired #queen #slayingthegame #wedidit #love #norestfortheweary #turnitout #grow #sore #learn #live #bebold #bepink #pinkhairdontcare #twinning #dragqueen #drag #seeyounextyear #reaching #finalform (Hair by @trishadbordeaux)

So we’re all aware, two of the three people pictured above are men.

To be fair…did anybody really expect Nicki Minaj to act normal during fashion week?

Bummer. I missed the memo that it’s now cool to look like you just raided your flamboyant 90-year-old aerobic instructor’s attic.

Ok so technically this was last year’s look for Troy Solomon, who has over 36,000 Instagram followers, but he didn’t disappoint this year. He wore a silver dress.

But I hold one very special look close to my heart. This man proves that he gets the idea of fashion but is still a man of the people, a la his accessory choice:

Thank you, New York Fashion Week. Please never change. I’ll never have to buy a zoo ticket again.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
