Lil Mama 2: Electric Boogaloo
My friend Christina found some curious eBay auctions and posted them on Facebook, and I just had to share them here.
For those of us old folks who were around these parts way back in 2008 -- remember that time that rapper and dance show judge Lil Mama decided to strut her stuff in Angelic Pretty? Her unique take on Lolita involved bra tops and rhinestones, so the end result led to some head scratching and pearl clutching when images were posted here.
So... guess what showed up recently on eBay?
Yup, for the "low" price of... $699.00 you could own the infamous bedazzled Fruits Parlor apron skirt as seen on the red carpet of the BET Awards. The same seller has a few other lots, like a Magical Etoile skirt that she wore with a white tank top (and visible black bra strap), and a Dream Drop skirt that she wore to host some teen makeover show. (Apparently he bought a storage locker that belonged to a friend of hers and had a bunch of her stuff in it -- let this be a lesson to you, should you ever become famous!)
Memmmoriiieeesss - I looked up some of the original EGL posts in case you want to relive the magic.
(Disclaimer: I am not the seller or affiliated with the seller. To avoid breaking any sales rules I'm not going to post the link, but the items come up if you search on the brand name.)
