In other words, a gal from Bim knows a bad thing when she sees it. And Sunflower saw many bad things while watching coverage of the 2009 BET Awards. Here are my thoughts in a special Why Did You Do That?

Why Did You Do That - To Your Neck?
Here is Elise Neal wearing a thorny heart shaped pendant which looks more like a robot from Transformers waiting for the right moment to attack. I can only assume that she does not like her neck and her neck does not like her. Otherwise it would have retaliated by giving her a sore throat. REALLY!!!??? She looked in the mirror and thought: "Nice dress, I'll pair it with spikes." WRONG. Why did you do that? You have a nice neck and a beautiful smile.
Here is someone who did it right - Nichelle Nichols
Our Star Trek heroine knows how to honour a neckline. Having a few more years on Elise Neal (above), Nichols knows that you should be thankful for the great gifts you receive, and wear a necklace which will not harm you if you tripped and fell over on the red carpet. (Safety first gals.)
Why Did You Do That - To Your Booty?
From the front the dress looks half decent, but the back is a nightmare. Dear Claudia Jordan, why did you do that to your booty? Seriously, the dress looks like it was inspired by a peacock and did not do you justice.
Why Did You Do That - To Your Body?
First up in this category is Melody Thornton.
In the words of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest: "You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin."
Apparently Melody had no dress in her closet either because she is wearing no dress at all. This is not a dress. It is STRING!!! If a cat happened to walk by there would have been chaos. Here is a piece of advice ladies - next time someone shows you a dress made of string - ask them if they want to buy some snake oil.
Second up is Shaun Robinson.
We get it, you are tiny and cute and can wear anything on your slender frame. Would it not have been better to wear an entire outfit? Like Melody, you are wearing no dress at all. This is a shirt - a long shirt, but a shirt/blouse/top. A rose by any other name is a rose. This is a SHIRT. Gals, please learn the difference between a top and a dress.
Last up in this section, but by no means least - Beyonce
It looks scary in the dark and even more frightening in the light. Honey, people were not reaching out to touch your pretty frock, they were trying to tell you to go back. Yes, go back and put on a dress, or pants or something. Just like Melody and Shaun, you are wearing no dress at all. This is more like a Queen of the Band costume. And if it was, you might have won; as it is not, you lost. The sad thing is that we know you have tons of clothes in your closet. It is a shame when bad fashion happens to pretty people.
Why Did You Do That - To Your Hair?
Or more like - What did you not do to your hair? Style it - that's what you did not do. Oh Tyra Banks, you are in the running to be America's worst hair model.
Guess what - I don't like the hair either. Surprise!!!! Better luck next time.
Next up - Lil Mama
Just because your name is Lil Mama does not mean that you should let children style your hair. Yes, I know, they beg and plead and cry when you don't let them have their way. But we gals must be firm, especially when getting ready for big events. Practice this line: "Children, you may not style my hair when I am going out in public. And definitely not when I am attending the BET Awards show." Got it? Good.
Why Did You Do That - To Your Feet?
This is a category close to Sunflower's heart. The Sunflower loves shoes. Loves them!!! So when I see people disrespecting their feet with ugly shoes, I feel compelled to blog about it.
Again - Beyonce. These shoes look bad from the side and from the back. Where is the love for your feet destiny's child? Bootylicious does not equal foot-delicious.
These feet belong to Amerie but they do not look very happy at all. The shoes were channeling John Travolta in his Vinnie Barbarino days. The 70's called and they want their shoes back.
Letoya Luckett's shoes. Ok this is a toughie - they are not totally horrendous but they are not nice either.
I like these shoes, but Omarosa's toes (on both feet) look like they are trying to escape. So the overall effect is not good. Your toes should love your shoes not hate them.
No Naturi Naughton, everyone will not be running to Payless to get a knockoff pair of these shoes. Looks like the cobbler did not have enough leather to make a decent pair of boots. You were short changed.
Final words - Ladies, don't become slaves to fashion. Have fun with your clothes, after all you paid good money for them. But always display some common sense.
