Pop star fashion disaster: Cher Lloyds Phillies jersey with As hat

If you dont know who Cher Lloyd is, thats totally acceptable: Ill admit I had to Google her myself. Apparently the 18-year-old from England has the No. 5 song on iTunes, I Want U Back , with guest rapping by Snoop Dogg. But while Im no authority on teen rappers, I do know that you dont wear a Philadelphia Phillies jersey with an Oakland As cap in civilized society, even if you are celebrating an American music chart milestone. Unless the hat represents the old Philadelphia Athletics, and this is Lloyds ironic statement on the impermanence of team loyalties and the fleeting nature of the things we love. Ha ha, just kidding: shes clueless. Still not as bad as this, however: Of course the big story in England (the photo was taken during a concert in Surrey) was what she was wearing as pants .
