Hey Monday Live in Portland, OR - November 16, 2010 by Michelle Baez
In case you haven’t heard, Paramore will be playing to soldiers at a military base in the Middle East as part of VH1 Divas Salute the Troops, which airs on VH1 December 5, 2010 at 9pm EST. Hayley is working with her friend Jen Johnson, who sews all of Hayley’s designs, to make an outfit for the event inspired by the dress Marilyn Monroe wore in the picture on the right. Marilyn is certainly a different influence for Hayley, so I’m interested to see what they come up with. Hayley wrote:
“In about a week, Paramore will play playing for some of the troops for VH1’s Divas Salute The Troops!!! We are so stoked for the opportunity. I got so psyched that I called up my friend/designer Jen (@bunnyjenny) and said “WE GOTTA MAKE SOMETHIN FOR DIS!” and so we brainstormed… Clearly, the obvious 1st choice was to make some type of army inspired uniform for the stage. Too obvious. So I got to thinking about my favorite women in the world. What would they do!? I searched around online and found this picture of Marilyn Monroe visiting the troops. Do you see how those men are looking at her like she is Jesus in heels?! This is it! So, Jen and I have remade this lovely look… with our own twist, for reasons that should already be perfectly clear. I mean, who actually wants to see me headbang in an evening dress? NOT ME!
Can’t wait to rock it. Most people will probably hate it and say that I look insane… as usual… but hey, didn’t Gwen look nuts with blue hair and the fuzzy blue bra? And little Kim with her nipple tassles? Yeah, but you remember that shit don’t you!?”
One outfit Hayley didn’t wear is the sailor outfit shown in the promotional posters for the event. VH1 superimposed a photo of Hayley’s face from the 2009 VMAs onto an image of someone else’s body. The World War II pin-up inspired posters seem to be a disaster all around: Us Weekly is reporting that Katy Perry’s management had her photo retouched to make her breasts look smaller and fans have complained that Nicki Minaj and Keri Hilson look far more light-skinned in the poster than they really are.
Hayley Williams wore the Lusekofte Pink jumpsuit from OnePiece of Norway while celebrating B.o.B’s 22nd birthday backstage at London’s O2 arena on November 15th. This particular item is not available on their English site, though it is available in grey for $186.
