Fashion No-Nos
Jun. 8th, 2007 08:20 amAhhh, I love the smell of fashion faux pas in the morning!
First, let me say that I absolutely HATE Rihanna's "Umbrella." I squirmed through the whole performance at the MTV Movie Awards. Then I was directed to this little gem on the web and it made my life bright and happy again. My bitchy fag is showing....
"Come Pain or Come Shine: When we think umbrellas, we think of classic entertainment such as "Singin' in the Rain," "Mary Poppins" and a bald Britney Spears attacking a paparazzo's SUV. What we don't think about is an S&M version of "Swan Lake," which was apparently the wardrobe inspiration for Rihanna's performance of her No. 1 ditty "Umbrella" at the MTV Movie Awards. The 19-year-old chanteuse single-handedly depletes the world's pleather supply as she straps herself into so much bondage gear that even the bossiest dominatrix would be forced to submit. Rihanna tries to tone down her alarmingly aggressive accoutrements with a girlish tutu and a bang-heavy flapper bob last seen bouncing atop the head of Catherine Zeta-Jones in "Chicago," a tactic that works about as well as her pink polka-dot parasol in gale-force winds."
Also, the description for this pic made me giggle. I really have nothing against Nelly Furtado...
Do You Want Fries With That Shake?: We get that Nelly Furtado wants her onstage attire to grab the audience's attention, but giving them a craving for a Big Mac and fries probably isn't what she had in mind. The singer is just a slathering of special sauce away from becoming Ronald McDonald's most shameful fantasy come to life as she shimmies in an ill-fitting futuristic red striped frock and a Tweety Bird-hued belt and shoes. Nelly makes things infinitely worse by pairing her garish Golden Arches garb with opaque tights, an unwise move that instantly transforms her body from trim and toned to Mayor McCheese-esque.
And now it's off to work!
