If you unfocus your eyes & stare at her dress long enough, a 3D image of dolphins jumping over the rings of Saturn will emerge.
As Wendie reported a few weeks ago in a post appropriately titled “Why Do Celebrities Hate Their Babies?” it was widely rumored that M.I.A. had named her newborn son “Ickitt.” As it turns out, his name is not nearly so ridiculous and we should all feel foolish for believing that she’d ever name her son something so silly. As M.I.A. so eloquently puts it on her Myspace blog:
“MY BABY IS NOT CALLED ICKITT, PICKIT OR LICKIT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HES A BABY, HE DONT NEED PRESS! I DIDNT RELEASE THE BABY NAME BECAUSE I DIDNT THINK IT WAS NEWS!!!!
BUT I WILL BE BACK WITH SOMETHING NEWS WORTHY SOON , TILL THEN GO PICK ON APPLE, SATCHEL AND MOON UNIT.
LOTS OF LOVE STICKIT!!”
That’s right. He IS a baby. And he don’t need no press (although I wish M.I.A would press her caps lock button). He was never named “Ickitt.” Turns out his real name is the so-common-as-to-be-almost trite “Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman.” Given her thick British accent, it’s really hard to see how anyone could have possibly confused “Ickitt” for “Ikhyd.”
Strange baby names aside, let’s all hope she gets pregnant again sometime soon. In these tough times, the world should not be deprived of seeing M.I.A. in her ridiculous maternity outfits (as evidenced by the magic-eye dress pictured above). I never get tired of looking at it.
Wow, M.I.A. is a moron. Who knew?
Who is this large breasted creature hiding in a comforter?
I have to go to sleep now but cannot until I say that is one of the best post headings ever…
hahh.
i so agree with wendie.
and might i note, kelly,
i am really liking your posts. :D
and your use of big words like eloquent. :D
I agree with Wendie. And here I sit staring at the dressing waiting for dolphins :(
LOL!
Funniest post heading ever! Welcome, Kelly.
Magic Eye! Oh how this brings back memories…
Kelly, I thoroughly enjoy your writing. Welcome! I look forward to your posts :D
loooove your posts!!
Welcome! :) :)
her son’s middle name is definitely the title of her debut album.
“Arular” comes from her father’s name, Arul. (Her second album, Kala, was named for her mom)
Kelly, I must say, I love your posts.
It’s not a sailboat, its a schooner!
And well, I LOVE M.I.A.; been listening to her for years, she’s way popular in Britain, and I love that she doesn’t give a f***. Her style is crazy, but kids all over London adopt aspects of her wacky style.
anyway, her music is the BEST. I always listen to it running, Beet you should try it:

Hi kelly! Very nice, enjoyable post. I appreciate the fact that you’re not completely ragging on her, and I really like the backhanded compliment. It’s nice to see a polite writer who uses “big” words for once! (Other than Beet of course).
So, Ickitt then.
I think it’s time to admit something I’ve been keeping secret for a long time now…
I really like this dress. I dug it when I saw pictures from the Grammys, and I still dig it today. The pattern is fun, it’s flattering considering how incredibly pregnant she was (although I guess the skirt could’ve been a little longer), and that color is gorgeous on her. I feel like it got kind of universally panned by the fashion critic types, but I think she looks great. And the sneakers she wore it with, though not really my style, were pretty cool and very much fit with her whole schtick. So there!
As for that other thing she wore the same night (the sheer black “dress” with those polka-dot… patch… things…?), well, there are some things I can defend, but even I draw the line somewhere.
Whew, I’ve been keeping that on my chest for weeks. I think I can finally get on with my life now.
i cant stand this twat and her ridiculous ‘style’
waiit.
that dress
looks like
an oiran outer kimono.
