When Bad Fashion Happens to Good People: Cassie's Electro Love

Recently the women of Dime Piece Designs teamed up with Predicate Fashion Faux Pas Offender Cassie to direct the R&B Singer’s photo shoot. Images from the shoot will be featured in Cassie’s Fall 2009 Look Book titled Electro Love which also happens to be the title of her upcoming album.


As I look at the images, I can’t help but to wonder “Is it just me or does Cassie look like a cross dressing Betty Rubble in this shoot… How You Doin?!? Am I the only who thinks Cassie looks completely horrible in these photos - like a character straight out of the Fifth Element Movie?

Everything except for her clothing is completely wrong:

1. Whatever’s left of her hair is too long to put into a bun – I’m aware of the look that they were pulling for; however, it looks better on women with shorter hair I.E. Rhianna.
2. Her eye brows are too thick and cavemen like.
3. Last but not least, her makeup looks rubbish. I’m not sure if they were going for a retro, gothic, or futuristic feel but she's all over the place: messy.

Dwane Wayne flip up glasses – Hated it!

Why is it that such a pretty girl like Cassie puts a lot of effort into looking ugly and busted? According to Dime Piece Designs,

“A Dime Piece is a woman who appeals to her audience with genuine swag…… She is educated by the books as well as the streets”

If that’s the case, from the look of these pictures Cassie does not symbolize a Dime Piece at all. If I could choose one word to describe her look it would be: Barbaric. Where’s the swag – did she leave her fashion mojo at home AGAIN? Someone please help Cassie find her mojo!

When Bad Fashion Happens to Good People

Offender: Mario

This week we have our first male offender: Grammy nominated actor/ singer Mario Barrett. He performed at NYC’s B.B. Kings wearing nothing on his head. Yes ladies, he’s completely bald. As if his wide nostrils weren’t killing me already, he decides to expose his extraterrestrial-sized head.

I’m wondering why he would decide to go through with it when we all know that this isn’t his most flattering look. Doesn’t he look like a complete fool? I would suggest that Mario get a metal cap to go over his bullet head while he controls magnets like Magneto, because that’s the only way he’ll get platinum with this getup. Is this his way of taking Chris Brown’s spot? What’s up with celebrities and bad hair experiments nowadays?

Another celebrity do-do. SMH. I Just Can’t………………………

When Bad Fashion Happens to Good People

Offender: Cassie

Bad girl Cassie has pulled the major no-no. Baby girl, as Diddy puts it, has decided to shave off the right side of her head (while the opposite side remains long) and release pictures of her new do-do (because she looks like a complete fool) via twitter. Somebody should’ve told this girl something. I want to know what was Diddy’s reaction to all of this?!?! Oh, I get it; I know what she was trying to do - She was going for the rocker look but just isn’t rocking it well.

Note to Cassie: It looks better on people with shorter hair baby girl!


I’m sure she had good intentions, but let’s be serious: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just because you mean well it doesn’t mean that, that’s what’s going to happen. This is a perfect example of when haircuts go wrong. Better yet, another publicity stunt gone wrong. I swear some people just want attention – they give you things to talk about nowadays. These no-longer-be’s R & B chicks are utterly ridiculous, going out of their way to compete for attention and record sales. If you ask me, Cassie needs a FDO (Fashion Do-Over). She could do one of two things to correct this fashion-faux pas:

1. Pull a Britney Spears and shave the whole damn thing off
OR
2. Rock Bananas on her head like Bret Michaels until the other half grows back then try again.

Seriously, is this a stint for a show on MTV called Making the Hair Do? What’s next Cassie; a No-Hawk? Cassie needs to check out the latest wig at sally's Beauty Supply and cover that mess up.$5 off $25 or more at SallyBeauty.com. Use code 555202, exp - 4.30.09

On a lighter note those aviator glasses and that neon pink nail polish is Ba......NaNaS!!!!! I gotta find that lacquer.

Rating: On a scale from 1 – 5, I’d give Cassie’s Hair a 0 for this BITCHASSNESS Hair Do! Try again. There’s too Much Drama at Bad Boy for me to handle.

When Bad Fashion Happens to Good People

Offender: Dawn Richard


Last night Ex-Danity Kane member Dawn Richard attended the Gotham Magazine party looking a hot mess!!! I definitely wasn’t feeling getup.

1. Look closely: her makeup was applied unevenly. You could barely notice her eye shadow. *side eye*

2. Is it me or goes she have a serious case of bad skin? Exfoliate anyone?!?!

3. I’m so sick of seeing her with this nose ring. Am I the only one who thinks that nose rings are tacky?

4. Multi-colored nail lacquer: would’ve look better had she chosen colors that complement each other.

5. Doesn’t her hair look as though she just rolled out of bed and unwrapped it with her fingers? Who styled this chic: Aundrea (I know money is tight but damn)? There’s no need for Dawn’s hair to cover her right eye. Since her attire isn’t turning heads (by being the center of attention), I’m going to assume that her hair is supposed to be the focal point. With that said, her hair needs a lot of bounce…. big, soft curls would do.

The only thing worth looking at in this pic is her YSL basket woven boots.

Rating: On a scale from 1 – 5, I’d give Dawn’s appearance a 2.98 (and that’s mainly due to her boots)
