Joy Villa Dons Fetus Dress, Makes Pro-Life Statement at the Grammys

Joy Villa did not win any Grammy Awards on Sunday night.


But the little-known artist did win many headlines following the event, considering the very unusual dress she chose to wear on the red carpet.


That’s what happens when your attire features a fetus.



Yes, a fetus.


One year after surprising attendees by strolling around the Grammys in a Make America Great Again outfit, Villa once again turned head via her strong fashion statement.


In Sunday night’s case, it featured a hand-pained “Choose Life” purse, along with a white gown on which a rainbow was drawn in the shape of a womb.


On Villa’s head was a crown and inside the womb was an unborn child.


She told Fox News that she painted the designs herself and then explained her motivation for this ensemble on Instagram.



“I believe in loving the child and the mother, and I am proudly #ProLife,” Villa said, adding:


“There is so much pain out there, but I choose to spread love and hope.


“I hand painted my @pronovias gown with a hand painted (by me) recreation of my daughter portrait I painted in 2007 at 20 years old 8 months pregnant with my beautiful daughter, whom I adopted out to a wonderful family.”


Yes, Villa says she got pregnant and then gave the baby up for adoption.


“I’m incredibly blessed to have given life, and I hope to encourage anyone in a similar situation to choose adoption,” she continued.


Since posing on the Grammys red carpet a year ago in her pro-Donald Trump outfit, Villa has visited the White House and appeared as a Fox News contributor.


She has used her platform to espouse her conservative values and plans on doing so as long as she can.



(The artist also sued ex-Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in December, alleging that he smacked her twice on the butt at a Washington, D.C, event in November.)


Speaking to the aforementioned cable news network about the event and about her stance in general, Villas said yesterday:


“I’m a pro-life woman. This year I chose to make a statement on the red carpet like I always do. I’m all about life.”


Regarding Trump and his first year in office?


“I love what he is doing; unemployment is down. I am totally for President Trump, and it’s only been one year. I can’t wait for the next seven years!”


What do you think of this outfit?


What do you think of Villa’s decision to use red carpets in this manner?


Wrong time and wrong place?


Or this is the epitome of America, one having the freedom to express one’s views at any time and place without legal repercussions?

Caitlyn Jenner Covers Sports Illustrated, Dons Gold Medal

When Caitlyn Jenner graced the cover of Vanity Fair last April, she officially came out as an icon in the transgender community.


Long before she put on a dress, however, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was an icon for those in a very different universe.



In 1976, Jenner (then known as Bruce, of course) won the Gold Medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.


She was featured on boxes of Wheaties. She was featured on the cover of numerous national magazine. She was hailed as the best athlete on the planet.


Oh, yes, long before Jenner got all mixed up in the crazy world of Kim Kardashian and company, the star was a national hero.


Fast forward to 40 years later and Caitlyn is once again featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, this time as the lead story in its Where Are They Now? double issue.


She’s wearing her Gold Medal for the occasion.


“It’s a picture that brings attention to this issue,” Jenner told SI of why she posed with the award four decades after appearing as Bruce on the publication’s cover.


“That’s the important thing. That’s why I wore the medal.”



Jenner says she keeps the medal in her nail drawer, on the down low for the most part, but that she used to let her kids take it medal to show and tell in school.


Caitlyn, of course, has left the sporting world far behind, although she does hit the golf course whenever possible.


SI Films has also premiered a 22-minute film online; it takes a look back at Jenner’s historic Olympic victory and where she is now.


This is where she was when she broke on to the national scene:



At this point, Jenner remains proud of what she accomplished in track and field.


But she has now dedicated her life to a grander cause, to assisting those in the LGBT community gain acceptance.


No, she won’t ever become a man again.


She has a mission in front of her as a woman.


“Sports. It’s not real life,” she told Sports Illustrated.


“You go out there, you work hard, you train your ass off, win the Games. I’m very proud of that part of my life. And it’s not like I just want to throw it out. It’s part of who I am.


“What I’m dealing with now, this is about who you are as a human being.


“What did I do for the world in 1976, besides maybe getting a few people to exercise a little bit? I didn’t make a difference in the world.”

Jaden Smith Dons Skirt for Louis Vutton Campaign

Jaden Smith has been announced as the new face of Louis Vutton.


But it’s not the star’s face on which most people are focused today.



Instead, many people are taken aback by the 17-year old’s first print ad on behalf of the fashion company, which has hired Smith to promote its latest spring/summer womenswear collection.


Yes, WOMENSwear.


Smith – who is featured above alongside models Sarah Brannon, Rianne Van Rompaey and Jean Campbell – has been known to wear dresses as part of his androgynous style.


He rocked a dress while attending the prom last year and also sometimes wears a Batman costume because… why not, right?


“Thank You So Much @louisvuitton And @nicolasghesquiere For The Opportunity To Impact This World,” Jaden Tweeted this morning in response to the campaign, giving a shout out to the artistic director of the fashion house, Nicolas Ghesquiere.



The teenager, of course, is the only son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.


He’s dabbled in acting and in rapping and is now trying his hand at modeling.


He was rumored at one time to be dating Kylie Jenner.


Nicolas Ghesquière, creative director of the house of Louis Vuitton, explained why the label wanted Jaden to model for this particular collection:


“Why does Jaden Smith star in this campaign? He represents a generation that has assimilated the codes of true freedom, one that is free of manifestos and questions about gender.


“Wearing a skirt comes as naturally to him as it would to a woman who, long ago, granted herself permission to wear a man’s trench or a tuxedo.”

Fifth Grade Teacher Dons Blackface, Dresses Like Kanye West

A fifth grade teacher from Alabama named Heath Morrow has found himself in viral hot water after sharing a photo on Facebook of his 2015 Halloween costume.


It features Morrow dressed up like Kanye West, wearing a gold chain, a backward baseball cap and holding up a sign that touts Kanye’s Presidential run in 2020.



Oh, and did we mention Morrow is rocking blackface to complete his ensemble?


“Haha some people thought Heath was really a black man,” wrote Heath’s wife, Shannon, as a caption to the picture.


She’s dressed up like Kim Kardashian, of course, as you can tell by the extra padding added to her rear end.


Heath is a teacher at Chestnut Grove Elementary School in Decatur and he received so much backlash for this costume that Shannon took the image off Facebook.


A few celebrities out there can relate to Heath, most notably Julianne Hough.


She dressed up as a character from Orange is the New Black last year, having to eventually apologize for painting her face black as part of the outfit.


The blackface on its own is offensive, of course.


But so is the mere notion of anyone wanting to be Kanye and Kim for Halloween.


Come on, people. Can’t we do better than this?!?
