This age, it seems there’s
nothing so usual about nudity. No doubt, our celebrities are actually going
back to the Garden of Eden, where the whole nakedness thing started. However,
unlike the case of the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve were ignorant of their
nakedness until they ate the forbidden fruit, our so called stars are
deliberately and intentionally flaunting their private parts in an unapologetic
manner on social media and magazine covers. To a point, I began to wonder, is
nakedness synonymous with stardom? Must one appear naked before he/she becomes
a star, especially in the entertainment industry?
In this short piece, we are going
to critically examine the situation; with special focus on what reasons account
for this level of erotic dressing by some ‘gofers’ sorry Stars?
Attention
Seeking!
Yah! It’s a major cause of the
whole fashion hallucination. Our stars have perfected the act of attracting a
whole lot of attentions to themselves in the guise of promoting their brands.
Obviously, most of these celebs break the internet with nudity anytime they
think their public notice has really depleted. Ask the self acclaimed goddess
of X, she will surely admit that she’s suffering from “inferiority complex”,
and because of this, she’s doing everything within her powers to be famous and
popularity, via buzzing the social media with obscene pictures. That explains
why our stars even when they can boast of millions in their bank accounts,
can’t put on a complete dress except one that expose their private parts.
Tufiakwa!!!
Fame
& Popularity
The most photographed reality TV
star, who calls herself K K, is a classical example here. She actually became
so popular after her leaked video went viral on social media. The effect was
felt immediately in Nigeria, and now, leaked pornographic videos are currently
occupying the blogsphere. And I have continued to ask myself, who is going to
marry these gofers? Who? Who? Who?
There’s no gainsaying that the
search for fame and its attendant benefit is seriously driving our stars crazy.
You can only doubt this fact, if you haven’t watched that semi-nude music video
called “Wanted”. That music video is highly ‘rated and wanted’, today on
Youtube and other music sites; because the songstress did her best to appear
almost naked. But to think that a married woman would be involved in such a
disparaging music video is the height of madness. Anyway, I heard her husband
was comfortably ok with that. So, who am I to complain? End time!
Market
Influence
Of course, it’s a major factor. I
once had a discussion recently with an upcoming star that has perfected the
style of showing off her nakedness on social media and magazine covers; and her
revelation was quite intriguing. She
taught me that every production is meant for the market; and that the demands
of the market, influences the productive ingenuity of the producer. She maintained
that some stars preferably appear nude on Magazine cover, not because they love
doing so; but because the readers are nude conscious and would easily discard
any publication that’s not drool worthy, sex appealing and romantic.
Again, some music producers
according to her, most times compel these video vixens to dress shabbily; to
create the nude site desired by viewers; and the gullible damsels have no other
choice than to compile. My friend insisted that once the viewers adjust their
preference for nudity, normalcy would be restored. Put differently, you may
actually be the one who is inadvertently forcing these stars to this trend; and
if you can have a rethink, these are likely to get better
Haven exposed these ugly trends
in our society; we believe that we can only find a befitting answer to these
problems when we are able to unravel the puzzling mysteries of the human mind. Until
then, we may continue to be abuzzed by these trends of nudity.
