The first edition of the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards
has come and gone and it had its ups and downs as usual of any event on its
first outing. I never got a glimpse of the red carpet showcase. I’m usually not
interested in watching people display what they are wearing while answering cliché
and boring questions.
The ceremony was in full gear by the time I got to start
viewing it. Trust me to always look for the FAILS about the event. Apart from
the tackiness of the auditorium which looked like a poorly lit event hall, outfits
of some of the celebrities got me wondering what were they thinking when they
got into those clothes.There were many outfits that warranted being jibed at, like Genevieve's boob popper but I won't dwell on those because they were only for a moment to be seen.
I wish I had started snapping pictures earlier when I
noticed about two or three of the women who came on stage at different times, wore
gowns that had trailing pieces behind as long as that of a wedding gown. One of
them had to have a guy help her carry the trailing piece along as they both ascended
the stage. I kept asking, what was the
point? I remember one of them was in the crew behind the production of the
movie ‘The Mirror Boy’.

Then Jim Iyke came on stage on his own cue wearing knickers…abi
na shorts, Daring guy…at least he made me laugh. It was a departure from
looking suave and 'sesky'; he just looked plain ridiculous.
Well, at least we only saw them for the moment. But we saw
the hostess most of the time.
And what was she wearing?

A ridiculous outfit that looked like an unfinished project…it
was something that looked like three quarters of a gown and one-quarter of a mini-skirt.
And the hostess (can’t recall her name but I know she’s not Nigerian) had to
maintain this awkward standing position which evidently revealed that she was
not 100% comfortable in the outfit. The dress looked so ‘unsafe’ I felt for her.
Any small miscalculation or wardrobe malfunction and we’d probably end up
seeing everything she wore underneath.
Even I.K., her male co-host seemed a bit concerned about
anything going wrong with the outfit. She
survived, but she was some ridiculous spectacle on that stage. I wonder if she
at some time got cramps in her legs standing like that most of the time.
Lol.....whoever dressed Vimbai obviously didn't like her....she had on three different outfits and none seemed to agree with her body shape. She kept crossing her leg as if it was the new style in town......I don't want to think it is the dress sha...maybe her nervousness...infact she was trending on twitter throughout the show sef.
ReplyDeleteSo she was standing like that all through the night? LMAO. i pity her sha
ReplyDeleteJim iyke looked ridiculous!
I actually liked most of the outfits on the red carpet.
She was really standing like that most of the time. It must have been very uncomfortable for her.
ReplyDeleteI like Jim Iyke's outfit on him. For Vimbai, I think she did well, whoever dressed her up should not try it again next time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't start watching the show from the beginning... When I joined in with the rest of my family, Vimbai was coming in in that blue outfit and my dad exclaimed, "this lady has been wearing horrible dresses throughout this night"... I hadn't seen the other dresses but I just had to agree that the blue one was horrible..lol
ReplyDeleteI really don't get the design of that gown.. Lol @ "one-quarter of a mini-skirt.."
Lmao I missed the show and so didn't get to see many of the now famous ridiculous outfits!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, the lady was purnished by the person who dressed her, I watched the awards from start to completion and this young lady was very uncomfortable. I'm sure she won't try this kind of 'fashion mission' again.
ReplyDeletewow.. didnt notice tat she was standing like dat troughout.
ReplyDeletepoor soul.
she most def looked uncomfortable.
