Siti looks like an over-size Christmas present
I don’t pay much attention when it comes to the Malaysian Hollywood scene, but after reading Jewelle’s interesting post, there’s no way I’m keeping tight-lipped.
Star TV recently gave Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza two tickets to attend the 49th Grammy Awards, because, wait for it…wait for it.. she won best dressed (photo below).
For those still in the dark, Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza is the Asian equivalent to Britney Spears. Back to Britney Spears’ glory days that is, not todays: white-trash-flashing-her-beaver Britney Spears.
So, this was the dress that bought her an invite to the Grammy’s, huh? I didn’t even know she’s attending the 49th Grammy Awards.
Holy Shit, seriously?!? Look at her dress (or whatever it’s called). It looks like one of those gifts you get on Christmas from your grandma. You know - Grandma does a sloppy job at gift-wrapping Christmas presents and always forget to label “From Grandma”. And the only way to identify that gift is from Granny, is from the slovenly workmanship. But since it’s Christmas - and it’s all about caring and loving each other - you assume she’s suffering from arthritis? Yeah, just like that. If you didn’t get what I was trying to imply, here’s a summary: Siti’s dress looks like an oversize and quite possibly, out of shape gift box.
I bet the designer was drunk the night before the dead-line and the only thing he/she (in this case, ‘it’ is also acceptable but I won’t go there) can find inspiration is from a potato sack. Yeah, put a potato sack, wrap a giant bow around the waist, glue those left-over laces from previous designs all over, a few strings here and there, and WALLA: two tickets to the 49th Grammy Awards.
I don’t blame Siti for winning the tickets, I blame the Star TV judges. Star TV judges: you need your eyes checked and re-checked - just to confirm.
Better yet, instead of giving the tickets to Siti, why not give them to the home-less guys on the streets? You know - the ones who act as if toothbrushes hadn’t been invented before. Just slap them with a decent shirt and jeans from Giordarno (it’s cheap - Ground Floor, The Mall) and send them on a plane to the Grammy’s. Just claim that they are pop-stars. Who’s gonna know? 99% of the people there are Americans. After a decent meal and a good night sleep in one of the luxurious hotel, send them back and act like nothing happened. You’ll sleep better knowing that you showed two homeless guys what they could’ve had, if only they paid attention in class.
Fashion is subjective. Just my 2 cents.
Apologies to the designer, and all my grannies out there.
I don’t celebrate Christmas.
I didn’t proof-read this post. It’s 2.03AM for goodness sake. I’m off to bed.
Ciao.

I’m actually quite amused with the number of blogs on this topic. I must admit, nothing spectacular about that dress and that bow is just tacky. However, I’ve yet to see a blog that showed what she was up against or probably someone else who shouldve won the best dressed award.
Anyway, can’t help but think that politics has it’s way when it comes to these things. Oh, StarTV judges have perfect eyesight, but they sure know where the money is at. One can think of Siti as a cash cow. Shouldn’t be a surprise anymore. Hehe.

It’s totally unacceptable that she won “best dressed”. I’m not sure who she’s up against, but I’m sure that they are dressed better than that.
Honestly speaking, I think she deserves to go the Grammys (also taking her Dato’ status into consideration). She’s been in the industry for many many years, and won countless awards and recognitions.
She wants international fame and going to the Grammys is the fast lane to international success. But before international fame, I should really urge her to take English classes first.
Why not give her the tickets right away? Instead of making up some phony competition. We know she’s gonna win anyway. It’s much simpler that way.

Oh my Good God. You’re not serious are you?? Whatever the hell it is she’s wearing is hideous! She can’t have honestly won 2 tickets to the bloody Grammys for wearing that.
And you’re right, she does somewhat deserve to go after all that she’s gone through in the music industry. But seriously.. A Best Dressed competition? It’s almost insulting.

I hate to rain on your parade.. but my mom & sis likes her dress. (but I don’t anyway) That dress seems too.. tacky for my taste. I guess the Star TV judges should really get their eyes checked, or they should give Siti those tickets because of her success and not because of that potato sack-like dress. That would be better now.. wouldn’t it?

the dress is actually quite nice, especially on the floor of my bedroom.. degedeshhhhh..
no la, it is nice.. i think the designer just ran out of other colours because that baby blue trim on what is a beautiful brownish golden is just a bad match..

@Kewpuss: Hell yea, I’m serious. HEHE.
@Syaz: That’s what I’ve been trying to say.
@r&al: Please read and re-read paragraph 6. HAHA. Just kidding, man. Again, like I said before, fashion is subjective and everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Ran out of colors? Maybe, ran out of material. (benifit of the doubt)
Well, the outfit would do better and much more acceptable if it was a dish rag. HAHAHAHA. Okay, that’s an exaggeration.

for your information, bow dresses are the “in-thing” at the moment, for summer 06-07 precisely. as a fashion victim myself, i can’t deny dresses like this, be it with bow hugging the waist or as a tube, is pretty “popular” and cute too…BUT its best with spaghetti straps or just simply dress tube. i think thats where siti’s dress starting to look hideous..huhu and of course as mentioned before the bad color-matching….
thinking of getting one actually

@suave: Really? Thanks for the heads up, now I know I’ll be seeing more of these, I can brace myself for impact.
HAHA. Send me a photo if you bought one. Just wanted to know what it is suppose to look like. I swear I won’t make fun if it’s hideous.

i think if the baby blue colour change it to black..it would be nice.. just a piece of mine..
