Today I am going to take a deeper look into this phenomenon and dissect why this is happening in 2019 instead of any other year. I would say that a major reason the flamingo has gotten such a popularity boost is because of this year’s Met Gala theme. Camp was the confusing and exciting theme for the 2019 Met Gala, and we saw celebrities go all out for this over the top aesthetic. Flamingos are flamboyant creatures, ones that really stand…
