…or with no pants at all, which seemed to be one of tonight’s themes on the Grammy’s. That, and sequins. Lots, and lots, of sequins. It seems that every single person who set foot on stage was wearing copious amounts of “bling.” From Lady Gaga’s rhinestone encrusted thong unitard to Elton John’s rhinestone sunglasses (I’m actually still wondering if he could see through those.), it seems like the stars were trying to out-do each other to see who could win the shiniest outfit award. On the other hand, I also noticed a blaringly obvious lack of pants on the female performers. Leave it to T-Swift to be the only girl classy enough to cover up. I don’t really appreciate the fact that the media is, more or less, telling us that it is acceptable to walk around in public leaving very, very little to the imagination. But who knows… maybe I’ll go out tomorrow and buy myself a see-through, flesh-toned, rhinestone-encrusted body suit so that I can be more like Pink. It’s just ridiculous. I can understand the shiny thing. Actually, I condone the shiny thing. I really think the type of images that the media condones is terrible, though. Nobody who wears next to nothing in public should be considered cool. Put on some clothes. I don’t want to see your crotch.
All fashion aside, one of my favorite moments was when Kings of Leon offered shots backstage to anybody who wanted them, and Green Day kindly accepted. Because who would give up free shots? And I also have to throw a little shout out to Taylor Swift, who is, by the way, practically married to my co-worker Brandon (at least he thinks so), for winning album of the year. I’m sure Kanye would disagree, but it is my expert opinion that Beyonce didn’t deserve it.
