Grammy Red Carpet: How Can They Give Katy Perry An F

That is not even her cup size!

 

Yes, she obviously did not follow the dress code memo but, does she really deserve an F?

I took a look at some of the other Red Carpet Fashion pictures and have determined that the media is unfair in their judgement of poor Katy.

Lets Compare:

Katie Perry vs Ashanti:

 

Katy Perry vs Kelly Rowland:

 

Katie Perry vs Miranda Lambert:

But There were fashion violations beyond the cleavage rule.  For instance:

Katy Perry vs Florence Welch:

And . .

Katy Perry vs Dave Groyl Wife’s Dress:

But, that is no where near the worst of it. . .

Katy Perry vs Adele:

And . . .

Last but certainly not least . . .

Katy Perry vs Kate Peirson:

And to add yet some more credibility to Katy’s Dress, I’ve been told that “green” in the “in” color this year.

Obviously Jack Black agrees.  (notice the shoes)

 

The Dress Code Memo had some pretty specific terminology regarding what was appropriate and what was not.  Obviously, some stars followed this dress code and others did not.

But, since this is a sports blog, it would be negligent of me if I did not apply this dress code to the NFL.

Lets see how this applies.

Quote #1:

Please be sure that buttocks and breasts are adequately covered.

Terrence Cody at the NFL Combine does not pass the test.

Perhaps he needs the proper fashion cover-up. . .

 

 

Quote #2:

Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare flesh under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack.

And perhaps the most flagrant violation courtesy Detroit Lions :

 

Yet, even this too can be fixed. . .

Sort of . . .

Oh, and we certainly can not forget about the lovely cheerleaders:

With a little help from Kate Pierson’s wardrobe, we can attempt to fix this right up . . .

And just to prove that I have an unhealthy fascination with Katy Perry, there were others who rocked the Red Carpet too!

Carrie Underwood gets an A+ in my book.

 

And Penny does not get a “C” EVER !!!

 

So, what did you think of the memo, the Red Carpet, and the fashion malfunctions?

What Were They Thinking

Here are some shots of the new throw-back uniforms for the Washington Redskins.

I have to admit, that some of the comments on various blogs and Facebook are fairly accurate making us look like the 49ers or Florida or some other College-rate team. But I really don’t mind the uniforms all that much.

Personally I like the 1960’s or the 1970 versions better simply because this is what I remember as a kid.

But, what I have an issue with is,the Helmet.

I understand it is meant to be a nostalgic “leather” look and conceptually this is fine with me. I can even understand that it is somewhat like the original Boston Braves style before they became the Washington Redskins.

And I’m OK with this too.

However, with all the recent lawsuits regarding concussions by former players, is selecting a skimpy leather style helmet the best idea for a particularly image conscious NFL?  In fact, it was just announced today that Hall of Fame and former Washington Redskins WR Art Monk is leading yet another concussion lawsuit against the NFL.  Is symbolizing the glory Snot Bubble Football days of old with a faux leather helmet the best PR move they could think of?

It seems that the NFL, as much as they want to portray themselves as a new modern and professionally caring and loving sport (Look up CYA in the legal dictionary and this is what you will find), really does not want to get away from or let go of their past.

Now if only they could institute one game of nostalgic uniforms AND rules, then they might have a really good idea and complete package that everybody would want to see!

Who Is Going To Be In A New Uniform Next Year

Everyone!

With all the talk regarding Peyton, Free Agency and the Draft, one over looked event just got promoted in the media and is sure to grab fans attention.

Nike is set to unveil their new uniforms for the NFL April 3^rd.  Mark your calendars now!

Will this be over-hyped?  

Yes, but not as much as the price tag.  Nike paid $1.1 billion for the rights to be the league’s exclusive provider of on-field apparel for the next 5 years.

In contrast, Adidas (Reebok) whose contract is expiring,  paid the league a reported $250 million 10 years ago.

So, what can we expect?  Well I don’t expect it to be too radical, as in Oregon Duck Radical, especially since many teams are so concerned about brand and image.  But here are some things that one might expect from the new line. 

Innovation:

–          Nike’s “Flywire” stabilization technology

–          Breathable Chain Maile Mesh fabric

 

Stylized helmets

–          Newberg-based Hydra Graphics

 

Accessorize

–          Nike stylized gloves, base-layer apparel, footwear, and socks

 

NFL Uniforms – The Source?

So this week we had a leak of new Nike NFL Uniforms hit the web.

By now everyone knows they are fake.

But where did they come from?

Who drew them? What is the source?

And Why?

Well, here at Fumbled Returns we strive to uncover the truth behind the story.

To separate fact, from fiction.

We of course started with the various news agencies, press releases and sports talk shows.

It did not take long for us to realize that there were basically three variations of this story.

1) It was real – later supposedly proven to be false
2) It was a hoax – generated by lonely bored and or failed graphic artists.
3) It was really a conspiracy theory hatched by the NFL and Nike to judge market and fan reaction to their concept drawings.

Which one of these is the truth, if any; and how do we go about exposing the real source of this news and sports story?

Lets start with the last one. The conspiracy theory – With a little of “hoax” thrown in for good measure…

If one were to expand this hoax and conspiracy theory in a predictable next step, we should soon see one of these “concept” drawings show up as a real true prototype.

And when you have a prototype, you have the chance and the opportunity for theft, smuggling and illegal transport of goods for monetary gain.

I believe that the feds have already taken action to stop this from happening by instituting new scanning

and pat down procedures for the TSA. How else would one hope to uncover smuggling of these concept prototype uniforms?

Don’t believe that lady could hide a uniform in there? Well if Leslie Johnson, the wife of the arrested PG executive, Jack Johnson, can stuff $80K in here bra, you can see why hiding a uniform just might be plausible.

I applaud the TSA for “checking out” every potential passenger traveling into and out of airports. But I believe there is a better way to catch a thief. And the source.

Fraudulently claim to be that said source yourself!

Following the money is often the best, quickest and most reliable method to getting to the root of a problem, investigation or uncovering the source.

So here is my solution.

Post up on Zazzle the new concept uniforms and sell them for $19.95 a piece.

Trust me, real , fake , liked, disliked or otherwise, you will get a lot of interest and people wanting to buy them if for no other reason, memorabilia.

If they are really test marketed by the NFL and Nike as a hoax , I guarantee that you will have them jumping all over you with their lawyers and the conspiracy theorists will be proven correct.

If they are really from bored lonely fans and failed artists, and that person(s) sees you making tons of money off of their idea, you will be contacted.
