Chris Brown's Taliban costume just isn't right

POSTED: Thursday, November 1, 2012, 11:48 AM

What would possess Chris Brown to dress up as a member of the Taliban for Halloween? Is it me, or is this just in completely poor taste?  Hasn't he already done enough to scare women? I just don't get it. Thoughts?

    I have some thoughts, but Philly.com probably won't post them because they are profanity-laden. This guy does not deserve the grace of fame. Piece of ..... work.

    Does this really surprise anyone? If he didn't treat the women around him like the Taliban treat their women, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but since he beats his woman too, its not appropriate.

    he certainly has a right of expression and we also have the right to call his decision stupid and insensitve. Someone need a little attention? We sure do have the right to be idiots in this country some people just exercise it better.

    This is an insult directed a all Americans, regardless of race. Don't forget Black, White Asian and Hispanic Americans, both Males and females have died at the hands of the Taliband. When the Towers came down, the Plane crashed into the Pennsylvania field and the direct attack occurred on the Pentagon, people of every religion and every denomination of every religion lost their lives. Chris Brown's costume was a churlish and childish action. It is time the marketplace starts to remind him as to what is acceptable behavior. No sales, no media coverage, no celebrity.

About this blog
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you. Reach Elizabeth at ewellington@phillynews.com.
