The Emmys

[rm]

The bit about Heidi Klum wearing a suit and then guys bitching that it was too much fabric and then ripping her out of it into something skimpier?

Blargh. Fills me with rage really.

Because:

a) she looked hot in boy clothes (and I am sick of a woman being in a suit being a "gimmick" because sometimes I want to wear a non-feminine suit and also not do the whole drag thing and I can't without getting an eye-roll and it's annoying).
b) the 'obligation' of a woman to wear skimpy clothes -- offensive.
c) the idea that clothes that are structured and covering can't be sexy? Argh argh argh. Sexier. Often. They create narrative and structured clothes mean less tyrany over our expectations of the body. I'm sick of flesh being expected to do the work tailors aren't anymore.

Grrrr.

that's why I love the country music award shows. Most of them go in jeans, so there is no real fashion to follow. Just the performers outfits and their performances.

I used to joke about the rich girls who wore the skimpy barely covering them outfits - if they make so much money, why can't they afford to purchase the rest of the clothing?

This.

I never watch the Emmys or any other awards show, though. Too boring.
