I believe if we [the media] are quick to shower praises on our celebrities if they win awards, when they launch their numerous foundations to donate to charities and other positive things they get involved in. I believe it is with the same manner, we need to criticize them dispassionately when they go wrong.
Humans are not perfect, yes we are all fallible but why should a ‘known’ person dress indecently to an outdoor event? Is it to get more sympathy or attention from people? Whatever their reasons are amaze me. A ‘known’ person here is someone who the general public can make out.
The Ghana Movie Awards 2011 came off on Christmas Day at the Accra International Conference Centre. Before the awards, there were directives from the organisers cautioning nominees and the media about their dressing. Initially I was against the directives but now I should say that I share that idea though I don’t fully support it.
Generally, the directives made people dress well. However, this picture below of Nana Boroo’s dancer caught my eye. There is actually nothing funny about that picture. Through no fault of hers, she revealed her G-String to the gathering as she danced.
Aside her G-Strings, even her beads were showing, something MUSIGA will term as ‘costume malfunction’. I’m not too sure if she was aware of the G-String and beads showing which attracted Kumasi based actor cum Kwaku Manu. The look on his face tells it all.
Must we always blame poor dressing on ‘costume malfunction’?
