Throwback Thursday-Punky Brewster

As I was trying to play catch up on my magazine reading, I read in In Style Magazine. that one of Kerry Washington's fashion icons was Punky Brewster.  Anyone else trying to picture Olivia Pope as Punky?  Already there my friend.  But I thought that it would be a perfect time to do a Throwback Thursday edition featuring Miss Brewster.

Sleeveless vests, multi-colored shirts, bright colored buttons, sun hair ties and of course mismatched tennis shoes were all staples of Punky's everyday attire.  Ah such simpler times when we all thought it was okay to dress like her, or maybe that was just me and Kerry.  And now I find it necessary to log into my Netflix account and see if I can stream old episodes.  Or pray for a reunion, although after googling pictures of Punky Brewster, I have seen more than enough of Soleil Moon Frye...too too much!

Fashion and Punky Brewster go so well together, that I even found out a well thought out description of her wardrobe musts, that I think I already figured next years Halloween costume...and its only April.  Feel free to steal the idea...unless you are one of my friends and will be attending the same party.  Because "I have Punky Power" and you don't!!!

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!!!
