I'm not even sure I have the words for this — actress Beauty Gonzalez proudly wore a necklace made of ancient funerary gold. Eye and mouth covers. From the Philippine south. Actual archaeological pieces. Do they want to explain how these pieces came to be in the possession of a random jeweler? Do they really not see any issue with turning funerary gold into this? I've included a photo of similar funerary ornaments for reference.
David Byrne on Here Lies Love and Imelda Marcos: "It's not like I want to glorify her, but I want to start with, as much as possible, a clean slate."
DUDE. THERE IS NO "CLEAN SLATE." THAT SLATE IS DRIPPING WITH BLOOD.
