I was watching the AMAs last night, it was entertaining for me because I'm a big fan of Pitbull and was so happy to see him, a Latin American in that forum on the MIC - Man In Charge. (Yes I made that up). The red carpet was interesting, I saw some great looks and some not so great looks.
I didn't see everyone though but man, now I'm glad I didn't because after I saw RiRi aka Rih Rih aka Rihanna on the stage accepting her music award, well, I almost fell off my chair!
I did a double-take and confirmed that yes, Ms. Rihanna was wearing an unfinished look at the AMAs. So aghast I was, I even tweeted it:
My comment was a bit more demure...thinking maybe she forgot to take her hair down? I mean, really RiRi? That's the look we black women, some Latinas and maybe a few others that I have no idea of, do when we want our hair to remain, straight and smooth after getting our hair "did"! It's called the doobie. The look we get when we need a "Wrap". The look we wear when we are not ready to wear our locks down to our shoulders, or back. Whatever our style will be, this is the look we walk out of the hair salon with when we don't want our hair messed up prior to going to an event, or even to the office the next day!
But leave it to Rihanna, she has made it a finished look, placing be-dazzled bobby pins all around, I guess to make it more "proper"! So much so now the VogueUK has called it a "faux-crop"!!??
`
Uh, uh, a faux-crop....SMH~ I won't knock it, she is free to do whatever she wants. She looked good though, once you look beyond her faux-crop, be-dazzled bobby pins and all! Go RiRi, congrats on your VMA!
