Grammy fashion train wrecks

Just for fun. I had to pull these photos together. Please believe that there were many more to choose from.
This is something else we like about the Grammy’s, it’s hard to be a fashion faux because the idea in a roomful of singers and performers is to be noticed.
So as the saying goes, any attention is good attention, right? … We the jury say, no, my friends. There is such a thing as bad attention.
Paris Hilton is too old for this look below and even if she were 16, it still wouldn’t be cute.

Natalie Cole, above, brought her own bondage materials to the show with a thick gold chain draped around an otherwise passable dress.
If, perhaps, she was engaging in performance art and making a statement about the chains of rampant consumption and how it overpowers simple beauty it would have been intriguing. But as it stands, I think it was just a bad idea someone should have squashed before she stood in front of the cameras.
Actress Bai Ling, at right in the bubble gum pink bow hem, shows up for the party in a dress that’s just silly for no reason.
And can someone please explain this Lila Downs, below, ensemble to me?
And just when you thought M.I.A.’s fashion had hit an all-time low on the red carpet with that goofy flouncy blue thing which we let slide because she’s raging with maternal hormones… she jumped the shark in this sheer mini skirt embellished with polka dot patches over her girl parts for her big rap number during her stage performance.
My eyes hurt just looking at it and the rear view of her wide, very pregnant polka dotted butt made me weep with sadness. Her baby was due today and this will be the image that he or she will have to reflect on one day when they research the days before their birth.
And lest you think that we’re only picking on the females, I’ve included the Pirate King otherwise known as Future Man who holds the best pop instrumental album award for “Jingle All The Way.”
At right, that’s singer Blake Lewis of close-enough-to-taste-it American Idol fame, let’s just call him, Needs a Mirror Man.

MIA may be popular with her fans, but in real life no one loves her - because your loved ones wouldn’t let you leave the house (or the dressing room) looking like that! Her polka-dot disaster reminded me of a plastic dog chew toy.
MIA’s outfit is supposed to be outrageously silly. and it is. she was due the same day as the grammy’s, so she lightened things up for people. worked for me, plus since it was such a revealing outfit you could tell she wasn’t going to go into labor any moment cause the baby hasn’t dropped yet.
i thought the whole thing was both silly and cute, right down to the white tenny’s.
I thought MIA’s outfit was cute. It was less than 100 years ago that women were sent into “confinement” when pregnant, not allowed on the streets. She looked great.
MIA dresses like that mocking people who actually care what others wear.
I thought M.I.A.’s outfit was a hot mess! I felt so embarrassed for her. Once she walked out on stage, I had to leave the living room. It was too much for me!
a HOT MESS, indeed!
