Sept 13 "THE 2010 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS WERE KIND OF A 'DRAG''

Hear me now and believe me later, I am not one for being "beige and boring", however, last night's MTV VMAs looked like a bad episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

By this, I mean that flambouyance and bad taste have replaced cool and edgy! Why? you may all ask, well the "usual darlins' of fabulousity" (namely Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Katie Perry) who generally look "beyond" and uberly glamorosa, fell short of their marks!

Gosh darn, how the f--k can anybody who wears the iconic visions of fashion's dearly departed wunderkind, Alexander McQueen, fall short of not only being the "best dressed" by all the experts and fans alike, but to be voted the "worst dressed" is a major fuck up in my book. Now, not only did she have trouble getting up from her seat, but she had trouble, walking, climbing up the stairs to accept her multiple awards, and probably breathing. Plus, when you wear "couture" you really should think about realizing the designer's vision and try to emulate the entire look and not do interpretive variations on that theme. In other words, that Cher-like drag queen white long wig that she was sporting, just didn't make that incredible couture gown look expensive, it made it look cheap. In fact, I've seen more fabulous drag queens wearing McQueen better; or at least they interpreted his couture presentations sooo much more fabulously. Shame on her and her shameful stylist for screwin' up a much appreciated McQueen homage! Aside from that, she RULES!!!!!!

Also, was Rihanna incognito? Did she think that Chris Brown was going to repeat his only memorable performance when he beat the crap out of her? That's the only reason, that I can think of, for her to have plopped that cheesey vivid red Halloween wig on ( like we wouldn't have noticed her anyway) with that "fairy princess" head band. Then her brilliant stylist adds insult to injury and has her wear a tutu with combat boots. Didn't we see that "look" on Cyndi Lauper in the early 80's..... ahhhh but she did it sooo much better and back then it was new and novel! I hate bad interpretations of original ideas! Also, Rihanna's makeup artist puts "more on more" and gives her cat-eye liquid eyeliner, so that she looked like she's auditioning for Cats! Well all in all, Rihanna looked like a poor-ass little wannabee, who couldn't get her act together, not the slick poster girl for glamour that she has been. Well actually, she did look like a has-been drag queen, who wanted to be more fierce and flawless than Lady Gaga, who wasn't fierce or flawless!

Katie Perry..... Katie Perry.... paging Katie Perry, your Ice Capades outfit has been found! Yep, normally cool "California Girls" Katie Perry was not cool, she was cold, cold as the Ice Capades in her flouncy little "perky Patty" ensemble. All she needed to complete this cutesy little drag number were ice skating stilettos, which actually could have completed this pewtrid confection.

Now I bloody well can't stand the "The Jersey Shore". As Chelsea Handler quipped, "they represent the dumbing down of America" and yes, between that show and MTV's Jack-Ass, America has soo much to be embarrassed about! I've never liked "watching train wrecks", as people who like these shows try to qualtify their poor taste, so why in hell would I want to watch idiots doing stupid things and bigger idiots who can only think and talk (badly I might add) about fucking. Now I like to have sex and I'm certainly no prude, but I don't talk about it incessantly and I can at least pronounce the sexual words correctly! I mean, every other word on that show is fuck! What the fuck is American TV coming to? (ha,ha) I have to say that although my distaste for ignorance, vulgarity and bad taste runs deep, I must say that "Snooki" did sport an improved, non "Guidette" hairstyle, but she still looked like a Zeppelin stuffed into a condom in that nasty dress she was wearing. I guess her mirror lies to her!

The highlights of the evening for me, weren't the tasteless and tacky "Pop" DITS (Divas In Training), it was the creative art direction of the sets and the futuristic "starship" configurations, replete with that uber-licious techno rave "super DJ" with the neon mouse head! I loved the multi-medial presentations and lighting configurations! Now that is what MTV should be all the time (not a menagerie of morons from The Jersey Shore, no offense to the rest of the people from New Jersey who aren't morons). INSPIRATIONAL & ASPIRATIONAL, VISIONARY & VISUAL but with taste and newness and vibrance was what was presented in the Art Direction category. Congratulations to the powers that be at MTV for having the gumption and taste to hire people with gumption and taste in the art direction category; maybe now they can direct that energy to getting better stylists.

Other fabulous highlights:

USHER's amazing performance
JUSTIN BIEBER'S cuteness and his strong "white bread" impersonation of MICHAEL JACKSON
CHER's amazing body and her witty, self effacing "I don't give a fuck" atttiude
TAYLOR SWIFT"S flawless hair & makeup, although I thought she was a bit whiney-woo, boo-hoo me!
LADY GAGA'S fashion audacity, daring attitude, her humility and her fearless acknowledgment that she gives to her "gay" constituents
EMINEM's song and his blatant absence of awards acceptance
NICKI MINAJ'S perky ass and her adorable Jetson styled Pepto Bismol pink wig (also a throw back to the "drag" world, but an effective one at least)
CHELSEA HANDLER'S overall "kiss my ass" attitude and the bravery she displayed getting in the hot tub with those "Jersey Shore" skanks!
LINKIN PARK"S performance at the Los Angeles Observatory

I think next year they should bring back more MTV legends to present like Madonna, Downtown Julie Brown, and so many others like Cher, who actually had some "class " in their ass! But then maybe this is a generational thing on my part and I could be biased towards my own generation!
