Ke$ha…NO!!!!!

I’ll be the first to admit that I have strong opinions about many things. From politics to movies to complete idiots….
Which brings me to Ke$ha, the “singer” who is responsible for that “Tik Tok” nonsense was spotted leaving a performance in London and she was wearing that.
In case your jaw has dropped in disbelief–as mine did–I assure you that your eyes are not deceiving you. This 23-year-old woman has on a zebra-print body suit with a pair of cowboy boots.
First of all, who in the name of all that …

How Much Skin is Too Much? (The Amber Rose Edition)

A few days ago, one of my sisters emailed me a recent picture of Amber Rose (who officially needs no Kanye-related introduction) dressed in an incredibly skimpy dress.

This feels like about the millionth time that one of Amber Rose’s skimpy outfits has the Internet buzzing. She wore this “dress” to the Junya Watanabe Men’s Fall 2010 fashion show.
Despite the nude catsuit that she wore beneath the barely-there dress, many people are incredibly offended by her look. They’ve been giving her picture the stank face similar to the one that’s seen …

Just when I thought I was alone

So there’s a website and an ongoing campaign condeming the usage of tights as pants. And I’m all for this mess.
Their manifesto/rant is below.
 
 

The screen shot doesn’t really do it justice. Check out the site, support the movement, stop the madness.
We all know this slippery slope wil lead to more of this…

SMH…just when I was starting to think she was alright…
Thanks Terricka for the heads up!

A little bit of a rant: Shorts in November

I woke up this morning and checked the weather to decide what I was going to throw on before I headed to class. I saw that it was going to be around 70 degrees, did a double fist-pump in the air, and danced over to my closet to pull out a shirt and a light sweater.
Why didn’t I go for a dress or some shorts, you may ask? Well, because it’s November, dammit! And despite the fact that the human race’s abuse of the earth is causing climate change, (yeah, …

Men in Leggings: The Rant Continues

My issues with this leggings craze that has taken over the DC community and beyond is now the stuff of legend.
Well, at least among me and my friends.
I have been known to give a female a blood-curdling side-eye for five minutes straight for wearing a pair of leggings poorly. 
The fear that the leggings fad would spread from college women to the older crowd consumed me for months, and now, the abomination of all abominations has occured.
Men are wearing leggings. And Chris Brown is to blame.
On the cover for his new …

My Suspicions are Confirmed: Lady Gaga is Crazy

Shortly after MTV’s controversy-filled 2009  Video Music Awards, I published a rant about Lady Gaga’s fashion decisions. And while I love, love, love (© Wendy Williams) her as a musician–her sense of fashion scares me a little. And I can’t be alone in this.
Need some proof? Feast your eyes on this picture that I saw over at Nitrolicious…
 

Now this outfit bothers me for three major reasons:
1. She looks like she’s been rolling around in a massive pile of ash/flour/cocaine. 
2. Her underwear is above her clothing–something that I haven’t seen since …

A little bit of a rant: Keep Your Underwear to Yourself

This mess is getting ridiculous, and I don’t think I can stomach another day of it in silence. Ok, that was a little dramatic, but bear with me. I’m running on E, and I”m fed up.  Why, you may ask? Because of the nonsense that I’ve been witnessing on these DC streets. 
Steady yourself for this one…These girls are running around wearing stockings as pants.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, stockings. Not the more acceptable, solid leggings –although I have griped about those before–but straight up stockings. The ones with the feet in …

A Little Bit of a Rant: Leggings as Pants

Leggings are the official uniform of women ages 4-40 (40+ if you’re daring) and after two-and-a-half years of not being able to go more than an hour without spotting someone sporting a pair, I have finally accepted the fact that actually wearing pants in public is now optional.
Their appeal is obvious. Leggings are comfortable, easy to slip on when you’re in a hurry and they actually look presentable–if you wear them correctly.
Sadly, there are far too many spandex-addicted women who do not seem to fully understand the consequences of failing to adhere to the leggings-as-pants rules. You know, …

A little bit of a rant: Wearing Sunglasses Indoors

There are some things that I just can’t understand.
The way that Donald Trump’s comb-over always stays in place, for one.  And two: the need to wear sunglasses inside/at night.  However, while the Donald Trump thing has puzzled me for years, I never really gave the inappropriate use of sunglasses much thought  until I laid eyes on Amber Rose, Kanye West’s current girlfriend.
Say what you want about her, she’s a pretty girl, and whether or not you’re a fan of her style, you have to appreciate the fact that she commits to each and …

A little bit of a rant: What Not to Wear to Class

Because I chose to attend a university where the first day of class is like New York fashion week, first Sunday at a Baptist church and Freaknick 2.0 all rolled into one, I’ve been exposed to all kinds of madness. From the hits to the misses to the “your friends are dirty for letting you walk out of the house like that”—I’ve…seen…it…all…
And while we must respect every individual’s need to express themselves through their dress, I feel as though I should speak out against the things that you just have …
