Joy Villa's music sales skyrocket donning pro-Trump dress to Grammys


Posted: Feb 13, 2017

Joy Villa's music sales skyrocketed after the singer wore a pro-Trump dress at Sunday night's 59th annual Grammy Awards. When she arrived at the Grammys, Villa flung off a white frock to reveal a gown of patriotic red, white and blue that urged "Make America Great Again" and had "Trump" in sparkly letters on the back hem. The 25-year-old's EP "I Make the Static" jumped to the top of Amazon's top digital paid albums and reached number seven on the iTunes top album chart after her red carpet appearance. The singer explained her controversial look on Instagram. "Go big, or go home. You can either stand for what you believe or fall for what you don't. Above all make a choice for tolerance and love. Agree to disagree," she wrote after her red carpet appearance. The dress' designer, Andre Soriano, said on Instagram the gown is a "tribute [to] OUR President Of The United States Of America" adding the hashtag #MAGA. Villa's look quickly prompted support from fans but she was also accused of trying to get attention. ;

So, celebrities are - alright

as long as they support Trump?

Good for her though for taking a stand for her beliefs. That's freedom of speech which we are all entitled to.

Surely you're not suggesting that the right-wingers have a double standard?!

I would never do - that - :) nm

Pity that dress was really nothing more than - a sack like a sandwich board

If it was not just to get attention, how come it was so appallingly bad? A really hideous dress, unfortunately.

The shape isn't bad, but perhaps the letters could have been smaller and put in with something else to make it fashion rather than a sandwich board?

I guess it had to be like Trump, big, loud, and garish. Ugh.

Given that tens of thousands of tickets were sold, the problem was not attendance. Nor was there any difficulty booking big-name rap and rock stars. No, ...

Foreigners Sales Tax Exempt?Feb 25, 2014
My daughter just got a part-time job at a local store that is owned by a group of foreigners that own just about everything in town.  They gave her a tax exempt card that they told her was her personal card and she could use it on anything she so chose.  They even told her how much money she could save on taxes when she gets ready to buy a car.  I am VERY confused.  I mean, I thought only state agencies or charity organizations were sales tax exempt.  Anyone know what pe ...

Update On My EBay SalesAug 05, 2015
Hello. It's been at least a year since I wrote several posts regarding making extra money by selling on eBay. I haven't been back here in so long, and yet I still see many struggling. When I first started selling, my initial goal was to at least be able to pay my utilities with my eBay money. Then it became paying my rent. My rent is $845. For the month of July (which is the S-L-O-W time on eBay), I had gross sales of $843. Now, eBay and PayPal took their 13.5% cut (combined ...

NEW JOB HAS DRESS CODEAug 19, 2011

Least Favorite Christmas Music?Dec 02, 2011
I have to admit I can't stand the "Christmas Shoes" song.  I have a high tolerance for schmalz, but that's over the top for me.  I change the radio station when that comes on.    I'm sorta on the fence about "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas".  It's kind of cute, but it has the disadvantage of sticking in my head and I end up singing it the rest of the day! Anyone else? ...

I'd already picked out a hat (not a veil) and needed a dress to match the hat, so she went with me to find a dress. She soooo wanted me to wear a long wedding gown, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a short white gauzy party dress. She made me try on a long gown, and I thought she wa ...

Can't Seem To Part With Mother's 65-year-old Wedding Dress...help...Aug 25, 2015

Well I took it, had my daughter try it on for a laugh, but now I don't know what to do with it. It is in bad shape. It's all wrinkled and the lace is crunchy, but the main fabric is a lovely heavy satin (although yellowed and stained). My mother hated it and I sent her a pic of it and she still hates it. She said she ...

The Fars News Agency photoshopped Mrs Obama's dress so it covered her chest and shoulders, according to media reports. Fars is linked to the Islamic republic's ...
