Is this really what the "dress" looked like? I mean, why bother??

I've seen it described as a slip.

That is way, way more material than what Bianca wore. She wore round "petals" on her girls on top. And a 3-inch strip of see-through pantyhose material as a rectangular thong across her bottom front area, (so they could claim she was dressed.)

I don't know if she's being abused either. Wasn't she a model before she met Kanye? And basically, (according to TMZ,) he's doing the same stuff he did with Kim Kardashian. He helped her publicize herself by dressing her, (or lack of dress) for much of her career when they first got together. Kim likes being mostly nude.

While I DO think Kanye is bi-polar or schizophrenic or something, (Kim and others have said as much, saying he has a mental illness,) I think Bianca knew what she signed up for when she got together with Kanye. She just had to look at Kim.

That being said, what I do think is abusive is the hyper-sexualization of women in our society as a whole by many of the male dominated industries: entertainment, beauty, fashion and alcohol. There is that old cliche: Sex sells. So they push hyper-sexualed women in all forms of media with the messaging this is what women are supposed to or need to do to get love, fame fortune, romance, attention, etc. And we have girls, starting in their teens thinking this is what they have to do, or how to be, when they might not want to be that.

I usually don't start a Grammys thread as I'm too old to know who most of the musicians are now. I'd just be saying things like, "Oh, look at that woman in the low cut red dress. I like that one."

Someone else usually starts a thread, but it's for the actual show and not the Red Carpet beforehand.

I don’t know any of them either, but my daughter was watching. The fashion was interesting!
