Is somebody out there in pre-production on a hipped-up remake of The Wizard of Oz? Because I could swear Janet Jackson is trying to redeem herself by going all-out to win the part of Glinda The Good Witch.
Which won't work at all, because I'd like nothing more than to drop a house on Janet, and unfortunately Glinda's saccharine ass doesn't meet with that fate. Unless this is a really good remake.
One Jackson in a "Wizard of Oz" takeoff is enough. Look where that got Michael... Pepto pink - yikes.
The decorations around the hem and neckline of her dress look like mold spores.
that's a lot of ....... bosom, no? both visible and contained within the dress. in fact, she's like a giantess next to I'm assuming Jermaine D. the pink boots though...ah, to be living a life that allows for pink boots.
Is it me, or is her face starting to go the way of her brother Michael's? That pulled tight, odd expression -- maybe it's just something in the genes. Oh wait, maybe it's all the plastic surgery.
Now *there's* something to complain to the FCC about.
someone neglected to inform her that those boots (is that what they are?) fail to conceal her cloven-hooved feet. man, that whole family frightens me.
Lampshade??? It looks like our girl Janet has jumped on the celebrity bandwagon and is rockin the new trend. Bed Bath and Beyond baby! Think recent Mischa Barton shower puff escapade and the J Lo. shower curtain dress. She has somehow managed to cinch this poor lampshade around her waist and fashion a matching corset? The satin ribbon seems to be hiding the seam and it appears she brought the ribbon over her shoulders and attached it to her top to ensure no breasts would escape. And the boots...the shade of pink in no way matches the dress.
forget her outfit, look at the gargoyle attached to her hip. jebus.

Do you think her nipple shields are pink also?
One Halloween, my friends and I dressed up as Ms. America contestants. I was Ms. Texas and I swear I wore this dress.
The top half looks... okay. The bottom half looks like it got twisted around somehow. What's with that off-center seam? The lopsided sash? And the boots... the pink doesn't even MATCH.
I agree that this could be part of the BBandBeyond collection, but I see a another current trend - Homage to My Grandmama. That dress was made out of a lace tablecloth from Granny's best Sunday stuff. Can't you just see it set with classic 50's pink and gray plastic dishes? And Flintstone's jelly glasses?
The boots were her mom Katherine's left over from the 60's. They were originally white, but Katherine kept spilling Pepto on them everytime the latest criminal charges against Michael made her sick.
Those boots look like the satin dye-able shoes you can buy at payless. Except they're boots. Satin pink boots? I really really hope she doesn't start a trend.
Escapee from Bavarian It's a Small World display. "Ja, you haff another bier! Then ve sing!"
Nice job with the Wizard of Oz reference - since she clearly picked up her date in Munchkin Land.
dammit, janet! you just cant do this to me...i have always followed ur fashion lead, even when it lead me to flashing my boobs in public, but i draw the line at the cotton candy dress with matching stripperella boots...
::sob::
SOMEone went on a shopping spree at Joyce Leslie!
"someone neglected to inform her that those boots (is that what they are?) fail to conceal her cloven-hooved feet."
Applause.
Tsk, tsk. Another wardrobe malfunction for JaJa. This time she can't blame Justin either.
I think she's been watching too many episodes of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16."
After the Grammys ended, she ran out to the parking lot in surprise after seeing that papa Joe bought her that brand new white $80k Range Rover.
The more I see from this past Grammy's the more grateful I am that I was hosting a very small dinner party that evening and that the television stayed off. Because in this case, ignorance was indeed bliss. This is the most unbelievable parade of fugliness since I saw the Rainbow Girls get off the bus in Corvallis, Oregon in 1997.
This dress looks like a teakettle cozy or kleenex box cover from Fingerhut, [that catalogue of stuff for cheap old hillbilly ladies...] And yes, WHAT IS UP with the seam in the front? There even appears to be a loose string hanging down, like her granny just got finished converting the Fingerhut hand towels into a dress about 2 minutes before she walked on the red carpet and didn't have time to cut the threads or take the pins out.
But what I really want to know is: WHY THE HELL are you gals giving Gwen Stefani a pass? Every outfit she wore looked like dryer lint excrement. Especially that pile of ripped discarded gift wrapping she stapled to her body for her performance! Some serious fug going on there, as usual.
That makes my eyeballs hurt. Please make it and the ginormous man boobs go away.
And the thing is, she looks so happy. Whereas at the actual show where she wore a halfway decent dress she looked so uncomfortable she could barely manage a smile (though that might also have been due to the "tautness" of her face)...
Oh... my... GOD! I had not seen this! Thanks ladies, for pointing this out. As I scrolled down, my jaw already began dropping and then I saw...
THE BOOTS!
Ack.
Janet may look scary, but I think I can actually HEAR Jermaine Dupri's voice in my head saying "Come here, little girl....want some candy? I won't hurt you...."
::whimper::
That dress is my mortal enemy. GRR!
It's constructed very oddly. The only way I can make sense of it is if it's actually TWO pieces, and the skirt piece got twisted so that the center back seam is around front. Except there's no matching seam in the sashy part, so no. And why is the overskirt gathered at the top? It pops out of the sash so oddly: not puffy enough to be puffy, but too puffy to be flat.
The top is fine, for what it is, but it showed up for a different date than the skirt part. It's very formal, while the skirt is just... wrong. Wrong length, wrong proportion, wrong wrong wrong.
Mutton, mutton, who's dressed-up mutton. She's too damn old to be sporting this dress, it's too tight, and the hip yoke is oh so dated and unflattering.
I'm not even going to deal with the boots. Or that troll hanging off arm.
Was she thinking it was prom night or...the Grammys? Either way, the dress and boots are inexcusable. Her boyfriend looks like Gollum.
See, I can deal with the dress. I actually like the dress, it's the Courtney Pendelton (or whatever her name is) boots that makes my ass itch.
I didn't even notice the dress straight off. I was horrified-- yet oddly fascinated-- by her painfully tight face. What is WRONG with this family?
When I finally did notice the dress, I wish I hadn't. It would almost be cute on a 3 year old. Almost.
The boots... The boots make me want to cry. A lot.
Janet's now an official ho... she's obviously got a pimp.
And yeah her face is mutating into Michael's. Their parents should feel deep shame at spawning such freaks.
Poor thing. You know it's sad when you see this couple and for once Jermaine looks better than Janet.
At least she learned the key rule when taking a fashion risk: Always bring a date whose fugly is so operatic in scale that it dwarfs your own fug in comparison.
Sure she looks like a freakishly smiling gumball, but she can always take off that dress, have an enema and relax at some point. He will always look like Jermaine Dupri.
Oh, Lord God. The boots.
Janet looks more and more like a post-op transexual all the time (and I really hope not to offend any post-op transexuals by saying that).
And she NEEDS to stop hiking her tits up to her eyeballs. It's not a good look. On anyone.
i thought this dress was revolting way back when adorably quirky annie potts gave it to the righteous ms. ringwald in "pretty in pink". god help us all if she runs across a drunk harry dean stanton on the way home.
p.s. a big thanks to miss jackson for battening down those hatches. you don't want funbags like those flying around.
I've SEEN Bavarian barmaids. They wouldn't be caught deas in a dress like that.
I loooooove the boots. Just not with that dress. Is she wearing crinolines under that skirt??
It's like a prostitute at the prom!
that's a Betsey Johnson dress, i saw it in the window of the Georgetown store in D.C. believe me, it's cute. just not ...on her. or with those boots. yuck.

This dress makes her look HUGE! Or is it her date? I think it's both. Again, once upon a Velvet Rope, this was a great musician with integrity. See what happens when you slum with scum like J. Timberlake?
There's something very Gitte and Foofy Foofy about this couple, no?
Is is just me?
Jermaine looks like someone dressed up one of those 'spongemonkeys' from the Quiznos sub commercials! Make it stop...
Looks like she's having a boyfriend malfunction . . . yuck.
Holy crapola....she looks like a barbie birthday cake...and who in the hell told her those boots were a good idea with the insanely fugly dress? who wants icing?
"It's constructed very oddly. The only way I can make sense of it is if it's actually TWO pieces, and the skirt piece got twisted so that the center back seam is around front"
I just figured it out, that's not a twisted around seam - it's a pair of FORMAL SHORTS!
Puffy formal shorts, ewww...
Janet is a deeply troubled woman.
dude i think she thought shew wuz gonna perform for the ballet or somethin cuz the tutu look is way outta season.
