[MaMaBuddha]

*LMDSTAO*

look at this way...someone had to be scandelous...the grammy's were so boring. I thought Madonna was the best part. The Material Girl is growing up and getting older.

I for one think that Ms. Braxton is a beautiful Black female. HOWEVER, that dress or whatever you want to call it did not do her justice. If she wanted to wear something that revealing that's cool with me but she could have found something more stylish. It hurts my feelings to even begin to imagine how much sister girl paid for that dress because IMHO it wasn't worth whatever amount she had to dish out. I loved J.Lo's lil' dress from last year because it was stylish. But Toni's little get up looked like something me baby cousin stitched together!

On a strictly sexist level, I loved the dress, but reality dictates that she was inappropriately dressed. First, she is talented enough and merits attention based on her singing/songwriting abilities. To dress as she dresses seems to be a cry for attention that she does not feel that she receives through her music. I think that she is selling herself short. And just because you have something nice (in her case, her body) does not mean that you have to flaunt it. I believe that she was trying to one up J-Lo. For the record, its a toss-up.

Any woman should be able to wear whatever she wants. As long as she and her man are cool with it.

If she came in here dressed in a suite, I would still want her. I would just be mad becuase it would take me longer to get her clothes off.

MN,
If Toni feels like giving me a life time(or about 55 minutes) of Devotion, I second that emotion, Nupe. All Toni wanted to do was get some pub out of the deal and she got it!
Like any real Nupe knows, it's all about the PUB.

Ladies (not all),

In the words of the Late Christopher Wallace"Playahaters... Lay on the ground... you've been robbed!"

She can sing, regardless of what she is wearing. I think Toni should wear what Toni likes, not what is politically correct for women in order to prevent and fight sexism. Sexism will exist whether she is wearing a bed spread or dental floss to the Grammys.

My policy is NO CLOTHES are the BEST CLOTHES!

I just want to know what Toni's parents, especially her father, thinks about her attire.

When I first looked at this thread, the pic of the dress didn't come up. So,I thought, "Jeez, are they just hating on poor lil' Toni?"

Then I saw the dress. She's a gorgeous woman who should show off her body -- but that dress was just ugly. I know there were a million other dresses, just as revealing, that she could've worn!

Make me say "Ughhhhhhhh!"

Why are yall hatin' on my girl Toni. The dress was fabulous. She looked like a million bucks. I say if you got it flaunt it! I don't think she was trying to show up J-Lo at all. People realize that these two women live in a world that, more or less, we cannot relate to. It is acceptable in the "high fashion" music industry to dress this way. In fact it is encouraged by the media, by the record companies and by the PUBLIC! Miss Toni's income is based on her public appeal, not just whether we like her music. Do you realize how many men are going to get that album now that they can fantasize with that visual in their heads? Mo'record sales equal mo' money, period. She did not sell her soul to the devil. Besides some of us women love to look beautiful. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All I had to say was " YOU BETTA WORK.....WORK IT GURL!!!!"

"Don't hate me because I'm BEAUTIFUL"

When the EAST is in the house...Oh my GOD!!.....DANGER!!!

I must say, Toni braxton looked very cheap with my two bath towels and duck tape holding her together. Yes, I'm pretty sure we can all agree that Toni is a beautiful woman-HOWEVER, that should not be just cause for you to walk out your house looking like that! SHe has just gone overboard! Ever since I heard she got two of her ribs removed to have a flatter stomach, I was too threw with her! ANd isn't her daddy a preacher??? She talkin' about "he wasn't man enough for me", well with that outfit she had on, she wasn't clothed enough for me!

[Miss. Mocha]

Laugh out loud at most of you.


I have no comment on Toni's dress, one should wear whatever one wears.

I just have to agree with IDEAL08 here, why do women always have to be hating because they don't like something on another woman?????


It's like DILLLLIO, can't females have an opinion?? Why do we always have to be being "catty/katty"?

Can't we not like something just because... without malice or jealousy. Dresses are ugly!!! Clothes can be revealing!!! Some women are fat!!! It's not hate, it's opinion.

I'm about sick of men. CAN YOU SAY DOUBLE STANDARD??????? When they sit up and talk about another brother, no shot is heard around the world. Nobody accuses them of being "doggy". GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!


Okay, I'm off my soap box.

LMAO@everybody!!!!

Yes I too was crazy enough to try and open the link!

I won't lie to any of you and say I would LOVE to look like Toni did in that dress, but I will say that I wouldn't have worn that dress! LOL. My gonads just aren't big enough.

As we've noticed through out the years Toni has always been a woman who loved sexy clothes. When she was a 10 instead of a 4 she still pushed sexiness to it's limits with her hot pants and high splits. Now that she's a size 4 I guess she figures she has a whole lot less to let hang out so why not throw it everyone's faces?lol
She can do whatever she wants because she's the one who has to deal with it. NOT US.

(Maybe next time she'll opt for two pasties and a leaf) LOL
