Who do you think this is wearing these pants?
There are fashion do's and fashion don'ts. Some of the "in" fashion is stuff I'm rocking already and sometimes I take notes from fashion magazines if I'm comfortable, but one thing I never could get into was pants or shorts with words on the booty. I always thought women who wore these crazy bottoms either didn't have anything back there and needed to bring attention to it or wanted to bring more attention to it.
But wearing these pants is like wearing shirts with the cleavage showing. (I'm guilty of that one.) I have more than a little bit of V-neck sweaters or fitted tops. But words? I saw a tweet from @entertainreal about Starcasm.net's coverage and several photos of one-half of "Daddy's Little Girls" Angela Simmons, daughter of Reverend Run (Run DMC), rocking purple spandex pants with the word "Yes" in white letters across her butt.
Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in blackface
After reading The Kyles Files blog "Australian Blackface Performers Need a Gut Punch," I shook my head wondering why these guys felt the need to dress up in blackface just to reenact the Jackson 5. And I thought that after the huge issue that created that things would calm down. But low and behold, Jezebel.com reported a Dutch supermodel named Lara Stone is in blackface for a model shoot with French Vogue in the October edition.
As annoying as "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Kim Zolciak's song "Tardy for the Party" is, I love her, not only because the song is catchy but because she was uncomfortable with the idea of posing as a black woman (an idea posed by her very vain African-American ex-friend NeNe) during an alter-ego photo shoot this season. She got it. I wish Kim would visit these locations and talk to these women about why she was uncomfortable with the idea. I never did find out whether it was an issue of blackface or did she really just not want to do it, but I spent more time glaring at the screen wondering why NeNe wanted her to be a black woman in that alter ego shot so badly on this season of "Real Housewives of Atlanta."
