Dress

Have you seen this dress before? No? How can....

Then look closely. A small-bit actress in the country north of ours wore it about six days ago to an awards function...and she has been hardly out of the news there since then.

Everyone who saw her or her picture in the national dailies had something to say about her dress...and they were not complimentary. In fact, they were almost unanimously outraged by it. Sniff. It's not something that she or her countrywomen should be wearing.

So she was forced to do community service by her university (she's still studying, apparently) and make a public apology.

Seriously, folks, is this dress really offensive? Maybe the show of her hip to midriff to cleavage was rather unintentional. Perhaps the tailor ran out of cloth as she tried to wrap it around her body. Cut the cloth too close. And had to resort to using pieces of string to tie the loose ends together. Who knows? I'd give her the benefit of the doubt.
