Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that I love Drew Barrymore, possibly more than I love my own family. She’s amazing, she’s awesome and she’s beautiful. And she has a weird squeaky voice! God she’s ace. However… what’s going on here?
I understand that in this picture, Drew is on her way to a Marlins game. The Florida Marlins being a baseball team, of course (look at me talking like I hadn’t Google-d it). I know going to ‘the game’ means dressing to support your team – not everyone’s like Victoria Beckham and shows up at the match in 10” Louboutins and mini-skirts. Face paint, flags and team kits are all par for the course, from what I hear.
Ever since Bonnaroo, Drew’s been experimenting with her face paints, and that’s fine with me. That I can handle – especially in the environs of a sporting event. That’s perfectly OK. What I take issue with here is the tie-dye ensemble.
I’m glad Drew had an awesome time at Bonnaroo, I’m glad she probably took loads of acid and bought this outfit under the impression it made her look like a Woodstock goddess. Buying crap clothes from a shit stall in the ~marketplace~ for 10 times their actual value is a vital part of the festival experience, and it’s nice to know celebs are just like the rest of us in that respect.
However, where Drew’s going wrong is wearing her shit festival outfit outside the festival arena. These kind of clothes are supposed to be bought, worn all weekend, then either left in a carrier bag at the festival site with some empty Pot Noodles and a used condom or returned to your home, dutifully washed and ironed, then filed away in that section of your wardrobe marked ‘clothe to hold onto for two years before I realise I’ll never wear them again and donate them to charity who will then throw them away because no-one there will want them either’.
