Musical interlude
Do you know anything regarding American football? Don’t worry, that’s not the point at all. On February 13, the interest of the Super Bowl did not indeed lie in the match between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams, but in the show offered at halftime by a host of rappers in their fifties. ‘a big cachet and a little revival. Among them, from left to right (in the main photo), Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg.
Footwork
To cope with the 70,000 spectators and nearly 90 million viewers of the Super Bowl, Mary J. Blige (51) had pulled out all the stops. Covered in Swarovski crystals, accessorized with an imposing fedora, she wore spectacular thigh-high boots demonstrating the ability of clothes to transcend their original function in an astonishing way: who might have imagined that the waders, invented in the Ve century to protect the thighs of warriors, especially from friction on horseback, would one day end up on an American football field.
Color code
The great Snoop Dogg (51 years old too) had, unsurprisingly, opted for much more relaxation. In this case, a bandana jogging that deserves some explanation. The “bandana code”, also known as the “scarf code” or “handkerchief code”, is a color code system that has historically allowed the gay community to indicate their sexual preferences. Thus, a black bandana stuck in the back pocket of the jeans expressed the taste for SM reports, a gray an attraction for servitude, an orange a tolerance for all practices… But as regards the wearing of blue bandana jogging, the mystery is whole.
Introduction
Dr. Dre (56 years old), had opted for a much less shimmering style, in particular for jeans giving pride of place to comfort much more than flamboyance. The doctor was molded in a piece that obviously contained a good dose of elastane, this synthetic fiber derived from polyurethane developed in 1958 by the scientist Joseph Shivers, of the American company DuPont, and initially called “K fiber », offering elasticity to the garment. Which, in some cases, is obviously not luxury.
Sign language
Finally, Eminem (50), dressed entirely in black, took advantage of the Super Bowl to send some more or less encrypted signals. Thus, he devotes himself with his hands, to the sign of the horns, the well-known “mano cornuto”, popularized in the 1980s by the group Black Sabbath and which has become a classic of testosterone concerts. A few minutes later, contravening the demands of the organizers, Eminem will kneel in support of the Black Lives Matter movement… Like what, the subject of the day was really not the victory of the Los Angeles Rams once morest the Cincinnati Bengals (23-20)…
