Amazing. It's almost like they consulted each other on the official uniform of the screwed-up stars club.
And while we hate to send Amy over the edge, her trashy mesh 'n' pink bra ensemble does seem slightly tackier than Brit's. If that's possible?

Ireneparalegal 01-08-2008, 08:55 PM Yeah, that was the 80's look...WAKE UP AMY AND BRITNEY, GET WITH THE TIMES! :lol:
Amy, great voice, sensational vocals...but this girl needs HELP! First, stop that stupid eyeliner to the scalp look, pleeeeeeeeeeze...and also, before you end up like Janis Joplin, get into rehab, rather than sing abt it.

yes, but when Madonna (and Cyndi Lauper as well) dressed like that, it was a brand new image and it was really trendy and cool, and both of them had stopped dressing like that for good after a year or so. Plus, like Irene said, that was 1985, this is 2008

At least Madonna and Cyndi looked like they had BATHED!!

well, I like Mariah too. But you are forgetting the whole Glitter era in 2001. Mariah was then what Britney is now, remember the TRL appearence with the ice cream and the strip-tease? that was a trainwreck if ever there was one. Then she checked herself into the hospital. Granted, she's certainly recovered from it, but you can't forget that several years ago, Mariah was certainly a trainwreck and that TRL appearence is classic for the wrong reasons.
I don't think Mariah is a whore at all, but I do agree with SBTB on the fact that she can't fit into size 0, but yet she still does it and it's really tragic on her. She's an attractive healthy woman, but she needs to wear something a little less tight and revealing because she is not the same figure she was when the Honey video came out. No, I'm not saying she's fat (I think people are too harsh on her weight), just saying it's time she puts a little more clothes on, or wears a size 4 instead of 0.

Mariah did go through a breakdown, but I don't really think it's all that comparable to what Britney is going through. Britney's is far worse, and much more serious.

Another thing to keep in mind - Mariah doesn't have kids. Enough said.
Ireneparalegal 01-09-2008, 05:11 PM I don't care for Mariah, however, I love her figure. She is not bony thin, she has curves. She looks healthy, she takes care of herself and she doesn't give the impression that she sleeps around, takes drugs or drink to infinity. She has a look that I think most people in the public eye should look at. She is not fat. I think Mariah carries herself well in the things she wears. I'd rather see a woman Mariah's size wear those sexy outfits than some girl who is A SIZE 0 and all you see is bones and flesh hanging off of those bones. I think most men find the body of Mariah more flattering than any Olsen "Bony" Twins any day.

Well actually i think MC has done some things wrong in her career who has a perfect record? I just don't like when people say things that are not true.
Janice 01-09-2008, 05:22 PM No comment on Whinehouse, as I don't know enough about her. I don't think there's anything wrong with Britney's outfit in the first picture. That's something I can picture Heather Locklear wearing or my 24 year old niece. She has a short skirt or shorts, and is showing an inch of skin. Britney looks like she has good hygiene too.
Good point about Madonna. I don't care what year it is, trashy is trashy, whether it's the 80s or now. I just love these justifications. I've seen Madonna wear clothes recently that look like they belong on a 20-year old. There have been stories about just about all stars, whoring their way to the top. Who knows what's true. None of them are angels.

the problem with Mariah is that she dresses like a size 0, that's the issue. She isn't dressing any differently today than she was in 1997 when she was considered to be her sexiest and the best shape of her life. She'd look a lot better if she wore just a little more than she wears, the bra-and-panties look just doesn't cut it anymore, and it's not so much her size as well as it is her age. She should dress a little more size-appropriate. And remember, I said she's not fat, but you can't put Size 0 on a Size 5 without it looking really bad, and that's precisely what Mariah does.

well, Mariah actually knew something was wrong and got helped. Britney is playing with fire and seeing how dangerous she can live and see how much she can risk death and live. A lot of people believe Brit will attempt suicide this year, and it's not funny, but the rate she's going, if she doesn't do a turnaround fast, she will be in the hospital comatose, or even worse, dead.

But how one dresses does not make them a trainwreck. It is called bad fashion choices. But if that is how Britney, Amy and Mariah want to dress, so be it. They could be wearing potato sacks for all I care, that doesn't change how they behave in their private life.
How Mariah dresses can't change the fact the woman can sing and sell records. She had her meltdown and got help for it. Kudos to her. :thumbsup: Believe me, I don't think the way Mariah dresses affects at all how people feel abt her and her music.

I love Mariah, but I do agree with this. I really wish she would realize she has enough talent not to resort to dressing like she sometimes does. I loved finally being able to see her live on her last tour, but some of the outfits made me cringe. When you go to a Mariah show, you are going for the voice. Now, a Britney show on the other hand, you certainly aren't going for the singing. A person would be going to see Britney for the entertainment, and someone like that would resort to wearing "slutty" clothes. Mariah could even pull off wearing something sexy, while still having an element of class, but for the most part, she doesn't.

I never said the way she dresses is a trainwreck. But, in 2001, Mariah was a trainwreck BECAUSE of the state she was in, with the infamous breaking dishes incident, and the TRL strip-tease. My two cents on the way Mariah needs to dress (it was just like Britney on the VMA's, she really wasn't fat, she just wasn't thin enough to be wearing what she wore, and it made her look bigger than she really was) was on SBTB calling her a whore for the way she dresses. I never said she's a trainwreck or a whore because she tries her damndest to fit into size 0, I just said that she would definately look a lot better if she dressed a little more appropriately to her size, which is maybe 4 or 5. The way she dresses right now makes her look a lot bigger than she really is.

I do wonder if a lot of the way she still dresses today is a Pavlov's dog response about the way Tommy originally marketed her in the early 90's. When she first came out, he marketed her as a "white Whitney" (yes, I know she's biracial, but a lot of the media didn't know her heritage until she'd been around for awhile and started talking more about herself) and put all the emphasis on her big voice, while she was generally dressed head to toe instead. From what I've heard, Tommy was a very mentally abusive person to Mariah, not necessarily an Ike Turner type, but that it was a very bad marriage and experience for her. So once she broke free of his reign, she went wild and more than overcompensated by the way Tommy used to make her dress by being much more sexy in her getup.
Oh well, I do guess it's still better than Janet, over 40 and still taking photoshoots where she's braless and covering her breasts as if it's still 1993.

Same here - I see nothing wrong with Britney's outfit in that picture. She was trim, nothing hanging out - she looked fine for clubbing which is what it looks like they might have been doing. Or a music award (let's face it - nobody dresses in gowns for those events). Now if Bea Arthur tried wearing it I might have something to say about that! ;)

TripperFan 01-09-2008, 06:38 PM Here you go. I can't find any of a full body shot, but I did see them on the show and she had a lovely figure too. She was never a Grace Kelly, but she didn't pretend to be either.
Really, we can only remember her from her Maude days and by then she was in her late 40's early 50's. My mother was about the same age and used to get compared to her then. My mom was a little shorter, but had similar features and hair - right down to the salt and pepper. She even wore the extra long vest pantsuits that were so popular then! :lol:

Dean Winchester 01-09-2008, 08:56 PM one thing I think is a tad different about Madonna and Cyndi Lauper at the start of their careers and someone like Britney ten years on is that when they started the "thrift store chic" trend, it was because that was all they could afford, and the record execs loved it so much they pushed that image. Notice as soon as they both became rich and famous, they abandoned that image for good once their respective tours were over. Britney has been famous for ten years now with more money than God, so it seems odd that out of nowhere she'd dress like that when she can afford to buy anything she wishes.

I don't think anyone here has called Mariah fat. Just that she shouldn't try to fit into size 0 clothes. Size 0 is anorexic runway model... Mariah (thankfully) is not that, but yet she tries to wear the same size clothes than a Victoria's Secret runway model would wear. Mariah does not need to lose weight, but people do agree she should upgrade her choice of clothing, because what looked good on her in 97 doesn't look as good today.

well, you don't need to be so defensive of her, she's rich, she's famous, she can take care of herself. Look at my sig and you'd see that I like her too, I can't wait for Sweet Soul Odyssey to come out. I just sometimes look at her performing and think she'd look so much better if she wore something a little more size-appropriate.

Well, that can be said abt a lot of famous people, particularly women. I get what you are saying though. It is time to hang up the "ho" look and move on. ;) She doesn't need to tell the world with her fashions that she has it going on. She has the voice and the talent. I am no fan of hers, but I will say she has made her place in history.
I was thinking the same thing you did John regarding her confining marriage to Tommy. He was controlling and did tell her how to represent herself to the public. I guess he was hoping to make her another Celine Dion or someone of that caliber. She did start out with her ballads and pop songs but she obviously had a different path musically that she'd rather do. I just lost my love for her when she made that change. She went all hip-hop and rap and seemed to be a different person. I don't know, I just feel she turned her back on the pop fans and gyrated closer to the "black" artists hoping to cash in on some fast money and faster selling records. It seems you can make any record by using a sample and have an instant hit without any real taste or style to the song. Just popping them singles out faster than beer at a football game.

Most hot celebrities, projecting a sexy image, do it. Anyone remember the actresses of past decades? Mae West, Sophia Loren, Ava Gardner, Lana Turner, Gina Lollobrigida, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Jayne Mansfield, Raquel Welch, the list is endless.
They poured themselves into their clothes. Looked like they were painted on, busting out everywhere. These sex kittens had it, and they flaunted it. Nobody called them Hos or whatever. It's been done since the beginning of time. It's nothing new. Sex sells.
Janice 01-10-2008, 11:47 PM one thing I think is a tad different about Madonna and Cyndi Lauper at the start of their careers and someone like Britney ten years on is that when they started the "thrift store chic" trend, it was because that was all they could afford, and the record execs loved it so much they pushed that image. Notice as soon as they both became rich and famous, they abandoned that image for good once their respective tours were over. Britney has been famous for ten years now with more money than God, so it seems odd that out of nowhere she'd dress like that when she can afford to buy anything she wishes.
If you're referring to the outfit that kicked off this thread, there's nothing trashy about it. It's in style, and probably cost a fortune. It shows about an inch of skin. She's young, so she dresses young. My niece dresses like that for parties, and she's 25. If she's going somewhere where an outfit like that wouldn't be appropriate, she wears a more conservative style.
I see plenty of pictures of Britney dressing very nice. She kicks around in jeans/shorts and tee shirts a lot. In concert, like most performers, (Madonna, Mariah, etc), she wears racy costumes. I don't think she's doing a thing wrong.
