If
you're easily offended, grossed out or get the creeps from the use of rats as
accessories, then please excuse yourself. As for the rest of you, you were
fairly warned.
There
is always something so appealing about a good train wreck. You know, one too
entrancing in all of its horror to look away from. Yolandi Visser of Die
Antword fame is that absurdly glorious train wreck. I mean that in the
best way of course, Yolandi.
Yolandi
& Ninja, her blonde equally as intimidating male counterpart first hit the
music scene in 2010 with the release of their video “Enter the Ninja” which
went viral soon thereafter. It was the intensely powered raps, crotch grabbing
and crazy counterculture style that drew me in – a style otherwise known as
“zef”, a South African term used to describe what Americans refer to as
"white trash" - which is clearly the quintessential part of
their charm.
She may look
cute and innocent, but don't let that fool you. This little pixie is extremely ferocious.
Yolandi’s style is certainly not for the feint of heart; utilizing an arsenal of ripped up t-shirts, hot shorts and spandex pants really does portray a white trash vibe, but with more intent and vigor. If anyone can make white trash look good, it’s her.
You
wear those hot pants, girl.
So
love her or hate her – you can still appreciate her! Try these looks on for
size to emulate that trailer trash train wreck style while still remaining
within the bounds of normal society. Sort of.
