Anugerah Era '05: Fashion Sense

If you tell me that those people attending Anugerah Era 2005 last night had fashion sense, then I don't think so I'd wanna be in the 'fashionable' group of people.

Mak tuned in to their 'Red Carpet' show (started half hour before the Anugerah Era show itself), so of course I watched it a bit. Saw some celebrities arriving at the function, plus also managed to off-and-on watch some parts of the show.

I saw Hani Bunny's shocking hair-do, and supposedly funky outfit. (erm, I wonder if the ozone layer took a beating with the amount of hairsprays and whatever being used last night..)
Tam Spider's clothes were fitting to be slept in, not something to attend a function. I belatedly realised that the theme last night was 'Funky'.. but man.. that's not funky. That's sloppy. With your shiny, satin-like pants.. they're PJs, man. Plus, shiny satin pants? A big NO-NO dude..

Ziana Zain's one-size-too-small very tight fitting dress. But oh well, some said: Honey, if you've got it, flaunt it! But.. stripes? Err.... (gone speechless)

Sham Kamikaze, as always, with his smart shirt and trousers (hmm, can't recall if he wore a jacket / blazer last night). Hehe.. I told Mak: "Sham Kamikaze ni memang Mat Smart lah. Always dress up, kan?".. But I can't say much if he actually followed the theme set.

Farah AF2 did something to her hair. Cute. Probably the closest one to 'Funky' in my books. Hehe..

Also noticed Fahrin's sleeveless outfit - suitable for working out in the gym, I must say. LOLs.. this guy must love showing off his biceps eh? ;-))
And Ummi Aida's hair-do.. well, I know she had lots of hair, I guess I just didn't realise how much hair.

Zahid AF2.. well, I know already that he's really selamba. But last night.. LOLs.. he too looked like he stumbled out of bed, put on some gel in his hair, blindly grabbed something to wear, and made his way to Bukit Jalil..

Mawi was there too with his cap and denim jacket. Not sure if THAT's funky though..

OK, OK.. I think maybe the theme 'Funky' was erm.. a bit too loose. What's funky by the way? Some may say a few LOUD, chunky accessories could make an otherwise elegant black dress.. well, funky. It's too subjective and too open for interpretation.

Anugerah Era '03 had the theme "Back to 70's" (or was it 60's?).
At Anugerah Era '04 the theme was "Urban Batik".

I thought those two themes were fun to dress up for! I saw (on TV, of course) those artistes attending these two Anugerah Era function dressed up to the nines with the themes.
But this year.. seems like a bit of a disappointment. Probably some thought being 'Funky' was a license to dress up with both eyes closed. Go figure.

I'm reminded of what Jimmy asked the group Spider after the show: "Mana yang funky nya?" (loosely translated - if it's even possible to translate! - "Which part of your outfit is 'funky'?"). The guy answered: "Di perut" (translation: "My stomach"). What the...??

Dear people at Era.fm, your theme this year is lost on many people.
"Funky"? (imagine me shaking my head here..)

Bring back the 60's or 70's anytime. Even your "Urban Batik" was more 'happening'!
