Controversial crooner (and cover girl<\/a>) Mathangi Arulpragasam got fugged not once, but twice<\/em> over at the always-entertaining Go Fug Yourself<\/a> (thank you thank you, mbawife). Behold her first<\/a> fugtacular outfit below, and her second, after the jump (click to enlarge both to their full glory…srsly).\n

\"She's<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n\n

The first thing I thought of when I saw this (as if you hadn’t already guessed from my title<\/a>) was “Jem! And the Holograms!<\/a>“, or Jerrica, more accurately<\/a>. They don’t make cartoons like they used to, do they boys and girls? When we played “Jem”, I always wanted to be “Aja”, but I was often stuck playing “Kimber”. The four of you who know what the hell I’m talking about need not comment, I can feel your sympathy over the intarweb. I’m sensitive like that.The second thing I thought of was, “this is not that bad<\/em> for an M.I.A.-fit”. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen her look so glam. Wait, can one have shiny banana-yellow toenails and still be glam? (I told you to enlarge the pic!). I do like her makeup in this first shot, mostly because one of the greatest things about being a brown girl is being able to get away with wearing colors which would make our pastier sisters look like painted putas<\/a>. Stop sneering, you’ve totally rocked green eyeliner, I saw you, last month. Wasn’t you? Eh, we all look alike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Moving on to Miss Arulpragasam’s second sartorial statement:<\/p>\n\n

\"basket<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n\n

I don’t know that I could improve upon GFY blogger Heather’s interpretation of the situation<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n

It’s like she’s the poster child for A Very Kidz Bop Easter, in which she plays the basket. [fug yeah<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n

I think this is pretty standard M.I.A.-fare, right down to the kicks. The first ensemble is a bit more interesting because I rarely see her in dress shoes. Or a dress. You see, I’m voting basket<\/em> for the second look, so it doesn’t count as a frock– what the fug was she thinking?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
