Santigold wins the crazy getup award -- and gets them dancing

Santigold wins the Made In America costume design prize. The songwriter and pastiche artist raised in Mt. Airy as Santi White made a return MIA performance - she also played at the first one in 2012 - and took to the stage with an exaggeratedly oversize orange ribbon in her hair. Her blue plaid jumpsuit contrasted with her two playful lockstep dancers' yellow plaid getups.

Along with the cool clothes, Santigold played a bright, engaging set heavy on her 2008 debut, with its heavily synced (in TV shows and commercials) songs like "L.E.S. Artistes" and "Creator," the latter of which ended in a free-for-all on stage dance-off among audience members, which at least had the effect of easing the packed-to-the-gills crowd gathered on the grounds before them.
