Apparently, there are MORE than One way to Skin A Cat...Pick it up off the Floor!

So I will admit, I was going to write about an outfit worn by Kanye West.  But is anyone else as tired of him as me?  Now not only is he getting press by rushing the stage at the Grammy's, dissing Beck and his random appearance at the SNL 40th Anniversary Special, but all E Online does now is stories about the Kardashians and Kanye. So I am from here on out...for a while at least...K & K free (Kanye & Kardashian) on this blog.

Now if we have learned anything, if Kanye isn't making news another rapper surely is, Chris Brown.  I saw this picture of him at Fashion Week in NYC with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran and knew I had to write about it.

What the heck is he wearing?  Lions Fur?  Nothing says classy like a grey hoodie at a fashion show...under a fur parka.  I had to look it up and Karrueche is a model and seems in her element, Chris not so much.  Did she dress him? Or did he pull his fur rug off of the ground and wrap it around his shoulders?  Is it supposed to keep his gold chains warm?

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

The blue hair and grey hooded sweatshirt seem distinctly out of place at fashion week.  And the length of the sleeves seem very feminine to me.  If he is dead set on this look, why not find one with longer sleeves and a hood? If you are going to go for it, really go for it. Hopefully its faux, because it doesn't even look as nice as hers.  And lets face it, who else thinks Chris Brown would wear a fake fur coat after EVERYTHING he has done.  Not me!

But before I let Chris know what I think he should do with his outfits, I found some other gems:

"Now, who said I had to wear this rug over my shoulders?
Because I am taking him out back, I look ridiculous."

"She said if I sit here nicely, I can have a lollipop.
So I am just gonna sit here, counting the ceiling tiles"

Sorry, I thought they were funny.  Here is what I think Chris, BURN this jacket, I don't even know why you are wearing it inside.  But the least you can do is remove the hood.  And maybe seem a little interested in the show...and may I add love the baggy pushed up leather pants.  Might as well throw those in the fire bin with the coat.

Has anyone seen my Loofah?

Last night was the Grammy Awards, with the usual culprits in attendance. I won't talk about how Kanye West gave his point of view, whether we wanted it or not.  Or I won't mention Madonna's matador outfit. Or Iggy's birds nest braid on top of her head.  Nope, the texts I received most comments on about the Grammy's (which I did not watch), were about Rihanna's outfit...or the pink loofah she wore.

She definitely gave pretty in pink a new meaning.  Wow...that is poofy!  Questions I was immediately asked where:

1. Did she go in the limo like that?
2. How does she sit down?

Maybe she didn't sit all night. And maybe she caught a gust of wind and flew to the awards show, leaving the limo at home and saving a few bucks.

Hmmm, how to save the outfit?

The color itself was very pretty on her.  And the top of the dress. And that is all the good I can say. From there down...it literally goes down hill.  I have attached a picture to the right of a loofah, for those of you who may not know what one is.  Yes that sponge thing in your shower that you use to rub body wash on you is called a "Loofah."  It is not something you should wear as a dress.  The only thing that could of made this even worse, would be a matching pink loofah clutch.  Although maybe that would of helped too?

Rihanna, I have somewhat questioned your style in the past, per recent posts. And your decisions maybe a little more, I won't even mention round 2 with Chris Brown.  But this is pretty bad.  I would say BURN this dress immediately.  Because even if it was awful, you didn't even wear it best, this girl did:

Here is a video on how to make your own.  You are welcome America!!!

MTV Music Awards-I Expected More...

I have a lot of comments about last nights MTV Awards, most of which I will keep to myself.  I remember growing up watching big flashy performances, knowing all the songs and huge stars from all industries in attendance. I found this years extremely lack luster in appearances and performances and fast forwarded through most of it...except for Pink's performance.  The girl loves her aerial ropes. But for your approval, here is a quick version of my MTV awards fashion observations:

Left to Right: Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Pink, Jessica Szohr, Chris Brown and Wesley Snipes (in Demolition Man)

Well Nicki Minaj was...Nicki Minaj.  In a patterned body suit with red piping and bright yellow wig, it seemed like she was ready to perform.  But then realized that was her red carpet out.  Was she trying to be a cop for the night?  Or cat burglar?  But I guess that is her persona, wild crazy outfits and hair. 

Hey Pink, I think Miley Cyrus is trying to steal your look! I know Miley wants to appear older and tougher, but stealing Pinks style isn't going to help.  What's next-are you going to dye your hair pink too?  Pink beat you to that already too...

And Jessica Szohr with the  slit up both sides black dress, lace up ankle booties and a animal print headband, I am not sure where you are going. Safari?

Finally to Chris Brown, Wesley Snipes wants his hair back from Demolition Man.  You look ridiculous.  And I am still trying to figure out when people started liking him again? 

Hmmm, how to save the outfits?

Probably not really the point of saving, but more commenting on them.  And I think I feel better with my fashion rant above.  There were lots more terrible outfits, mostly from the men in the rapping industry.  I didn't know camo shorts, wife beaters and a lack of style were red carpet approved.  But I guess in the hip-hop industry its allowed?  So I left them alone, what is the point?   I guess it all comes down to I expect more from the women above and, "If you can't say anything nice...come sit next to me!"
