NATURI NAUGHTON: Wow, Lil’ Bow Wow, you turned out totally cute.
LIL BOW WOW: It’s just Bow Wow now. It’s embarrassing to be called “Lil” when you’re an adult.
NATURI: And BOW WOW isn’t a problem?
BOW WOW: It’s called branding. Like, no matter how much he tells us to call him “Dwayne,” people are still calling The Rock, “The Rock.” You can’t really change names mid-career. You know?
NATURI: Fine. BOW WOW, you turned out totally cute. I like the nerdy retro glasses and rolled up sleeves thing you’ve got going on. You look smart AND casual.
BOW WOW: Thanks. It’s true. I AM smart and casual.
NATURI: Why did the photographers cut the other people we’re standing with out of the photo, do you think?
BOW WOW: So that people could concentrate on a) my cute glasses, and b) that bizarro experiment blooming from your mid-section like some jeweler’s rendition of the thing from Alien.
NATURI: That seems harsh! I was thinking of it being more reminiscent of the bow on a gift you get at a gift store at a fake artists’ colony. From a place called, like, “GESTURES” that sells a lot of hand-blown glass and giant crystals cut in half.
BOW WOW: Is that GOOD?
NATURI: Yes. Those sorts of stores remind people of vacations, and people love vacations.
BOW WOW: I need to see this closer up:
BOW WOW: Weird. Now I want an artichoke.
NATURI: You just don’t understand my vision.
Comments (76):
ummmm… is there a teeny-tiny bird stuck in her ring?
I can’t love it or hate it because I think it’s really interesting. I’m not loving it with the dress, since the dress already has a lot of bling on it (although it appears it was designed as part of the dress). I would like to see it with a pair of jeans and a white shirt, with the belt part of it in one of the same colours as the floral part.
I’d really like the dress without the midriff bling. And I covet those glasses, who makes them?
I’m with Bee on this one. Forget the metallic cabbage stuck to her dress – WHAT is up with the ring?
Who hemmed that man’s pants? I know “Heroin Chic” is out, but I thought that was a style change, not due to the shortage of needles in Hollywood?
Oh, love the ring!
Love the idea, love the sparkly, not crazy about the actual effect: it’s kind of lumpy and floppy. And the dress certainly doesn’t need it, but it could’ve been great anyway.
And for the record: I don’t care WHAT is up with that ring, I LOVE IT. Crazy and dramatic and cool.
I love how Bow Wow is rockin’ the Malcolm X aesthetic.
Maybe there’s dancing later and Naturi’s trying to forcibly maintain a respectful distance from her partner?
I love how Bow Wow IS smart, casual, nerdy, retro, Malcolm X style, etc.
I also like Naturi’s total look and effect. No comment about the ring.
As to the midriff cabbage decor, I like the idea, but the curling* not so much. Lesson learned: designers need to understand that sooner or later, a person must sit down!
*PS But I love the SPORT of curling (she adds, unnecessarily).
I went to high school with Bow Wow. He’s a good kid, and never liked all the attention from his classmates.
The dress is cute without the belt, which does not go at all. The shoulder things are all round and marble-y, and then the belt is pokey and a different color. Lose the belt, and she looks great.
What is GROWING out of her ring?
Is P Diddy the only one who has done a successful mid-career name change? Clearly it didn’t work for Prince and, similar but not quite, when Michael Jordan tried to change his number mid-career, that didn’t last. Stick with the “Lil” Bow Wow. History is against you.
oh, terrifying silver lotus belt/torso armor thing + BW looking irresistible FTW! That’s some fantastic PR-shot styling there. Whoever dressed them gets huge props. Whoever cut the other guys out of the frame should get thwapped.
Remember those pieces of metal that were on a magnetic stand, and you could make shapes with the metal? that is what the belt is made of.
It kind of looks someone ran over a bird and, in a new age effort not to waste anything, Naturi picked it up and glued it onto the front of her dress.
Oh dear lord, could he really have not taken an extra inch off the bottom of those pants? He looks like a diminutive fellow to start with, and now he’s just a nerd wearing his father’s slacks to the pictures.
Better question..what is sticking out of that guys pants to the left of Bow Wow? I think we found Mr. Wow’s Lil’.
Bow wow needs to find a tailor to hem his pants!
Well, I voted no but on second thought – that little pointed decoration could be really useful in covering up the midsection when your having a “fat day.” Maybe the chick was on her period and feeling super BLAH and when there’s an event, you can’t really opt out and call in sick, so she did the best she could….?
I know I love my tummy hiding garments more often than I should!
1) Are they both incredibly short? Is it the angle of the photo or the sizing of the pic in your blog?!?!? Why do they look 3 feet tall?
2) At first I thought that was Wallace from Veronica Mars, I am saddened it it not
3) I kinda dig her dress and the detail, if it were smaller and more on her hip that her stomach.
I think the dress would work with the belt ornament OR the strap decoration but is overkill with both.
Why dis either of them? They look great!
He looks like a million bucks. Love his belt. He could use a hem, yes. She’s fine, but would be better without the hardware.
Both are looking as if they are made for each other. Moreover her outfit suits her personality.
Am I the only one who could care less about the dress or the ring but LOVE the purse?
In the first pic it looked like her dress ornament was just a flat geometric design on the fabric, and I really liked it. But I’m not loving it as a 3D artichoke. So, make it flat- that’s my fix.
Bow-wow, you are adorable.
@Dramman: O_O wow… Just wow.
Bow-Wow is totally cute! Tell me he’s not 15 or something so I don’t feel gross! I would risk the name change.
One of my employees told me that she’s in love with somebody named PITBULL which caused me to spit my delicious Pomegranate Heart Happy Jamba Juice all over her…so no these names don’t work in real conversation.
i think i would really like this if the bling were at the shoulder.
I actually like the way the metal cabbage belly thing looks, but I voted no because HOW DOES SHE SIT DOWN??? It looks like it would impale her painfully, many, many times, all at once. I don’t like violent fashion. She looks great though.
And Bow Wow–cute, cute, cuuuuuute all the way!!!
fantastic fake dialogue.
Dramman, I hear ya! I was so distracted by the appendage to the left of Bow Wow that I barely gave the artichoke appendage a second glance!
What about P Diddy, previously known as Puff Daddy? I think that was a fairly successful name change. Though I will always call Dwayne what’s-his-name “The Rock” all the live long day.
Not knowing who one earth these two are I was thinking that she was Lil Bow Wow and he was Naturi. And I thought “Naturi is a peculiar name for a guy.” And then I figured out which was which and I thought “Naturi is a peculiar name for a girl.” I’m far too old to cope with this.
Oh, lawd. It DOES look like vinyl, or naughahyde, or pleather.
She should accessorize with a tiny pet alligator
