Part 2 - The Attire
The Dean's List wrote on Monday about the fantastic concert featuring Timothy Mitchum, Bobby Womack & Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. Unfortunately, the artist weren't the only people who took center stage!
Where do I begin?
I know all of us from one time or another have received one of those "Hot Ghetto Mess" emails. You know, the one's where folks are going to the prom or the concert in outlandish outfits. The one's where all you can do is shake your head in disbelief and say a silent prayer for them. Well let me tell you, I have a stiff neck and sore knees from all the shaking and praying.
The Men:
I was unaware that Bishop Don Magic Juan was from Rochester. I say that because it looked as if he had his family reunion at the concert Saturday night. Zoot Suits in all colors ranging from Red, Orange, Mint Green (yes, I said Mint Green) with hats and two-tone gator's to match! I won't even talk about the Gold fronts and jewelry.
The whole experience reminded me of going to the Capitol Theatre (you old Rochester folks know about that) for a triple feature - "The Mack", "Dolomite" and "Superfly".
The Women:
**Editors Note**
Women who appear in videos wearing little of nothing, weaves down to their butts and apply makeup with a paint brush do that because they are performing in a video and don't look like that in real life!
I've said it before and I'll say it again - "Just because they make it in your size, it doesn't mean you should wear it." And ladies - there are many fashions out there today that expose your mid-section. I hate to be the one to tell you that if your mid-section hangs over your waistband, you shouldn't have it on - that's not attractive!
Unbeweaveable! Now I have nothing against weaves and I've never had one (even though a woman stopped me at the concert to ask me where I got my hair from cause it was "fly"), I thought the reason got the weaves was to enhance what they already had. I saw some women with so much hair on their heads that they could barely hold their heads up straight. And what's up with the fake eye-lashes? It was bad enough when women did the whole fake hair, finger-nails, colored-contacts, breasts, butts, etc..Now they have fake lashes as well. Will the real woman please stand up!!!!!!
Misc:
**The concert was at the Rochester Armory - Sequined dresses and mink coats should have been saved for The Players Ball.
**This was supposed to be a concert, not a fashion show. Once you find your seat, unless you are going to the restroom or getting a drink, there is no reason for you to do 50 laps around the floor.
**Speaking of laps, what was up with the man in the Red suit and Tan gators who walked up and down the aisles, stomping his feet, from the time Bobby Womack hit the stage till Frankie finished?
**With all of the outfits I saw Saturday night, I'm real nervous about this coming Summer. It should be real interesting.....
People - just in case you didn't know - the characters you see on TV aren't real!
