Oslo Runway Review

Winging our way home now! One of our most successful trips ever. And before anyone gets started with me, I just want to deny the rumor started by my buddy Dewey: NO. TOTUS did NOT get the the West Point speech mixed up with the Oslo speech. Let’s just say, as they do in politics, that we’ve had a focus shift, based on the most recent poll results.

And good news. The only apologizing Big Guy did over here was for not deserving the honor of winning the Nobel. My advice: stop apologizing for that too. After all, we WON!

Now, what you’re really interested in: a re-cap of the Oslo runway show with Lady M.

The Lady M signs autographs for the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Norway on Thursday, wearing one of our favorite snuggies with a “petrified” flower pin grown in our own organic garden.

Here, Lady M pulls out all the stops wearing a Calvin Klein gold leaf gown befitting a queen. To fend off expected attacks of “imitating royalty” from the right-wing attack machine, MO demonstrates her commitment to diversity by removing nits from Big Guy, just like they do in BO’s homeland Kenya, before entering the Royal Castle in Oslo on Thursday.

When we arrived for the Nobel Peace prize award ceremony at the City Hall in Oslo on Thursday, we wowed the crowd by reprising the Nina Ricci cardigan we wore at the inauguration (continuing our commitment to saving the world, one recycled garment at a time). Just be happy I won on the belt.

My bad here. I assumed that since MO was barefoot and the camera angle was low, Big Guy would look, well, bigger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, when you assume….

We arrived at the Nobel Banquet in Oslo wearing some of our favorite draperies over our pale blue Speedo. Gosh those people really are little aren't they.

We had to add the jacket in the unseasonably cold climes, to watch the torch light parade that the Oslots threw for us:

Here you get the full princess lampshade effect.

The parade was spectacular! They even had one float dedicated to the FOX news network:NrwTroll-1_thumb[3]Norwegian troll dolls

But alas, every fairy tale must come to an end. And we left this morning for our long flight home.

Another do-over from the inauguration: a handsome camel and black Narciso Rodriguez that we wore to the “We Are the Won One” concert. We’ve been starving ourselves for days in order to fit into it again. Even so, we had to let the seams out a wee bit.

I’m sure our hosts understand the urgency that requires our hasty departure from their wonderful (but cold) country. We have to get back to save our team’s prime directives: Obamacare and Cap and Tax Trade. Also, Big Guy wants to get back before Toxic Tim lets another one of our banks slip out of our grasp.

  1. Good one, MOTUS - and that does look like a snuggie!

    Thought we'd never again see the camel and black Narciso Rodriguez - began to wonder if it had just been on loan. Not as smart-looking with the lacquered beehive, but the only thing she's ever worn that I agreed with. I am surprised that she could get into it as she has put on avoirdupois since they entered the Big White Pie Bakery last January.

  2. I suppose we should be thankful that Zero didn't pull another bowing and scraping routine when he met Harold. But then again he only bows and scrapes and bends over and sticks his effeminate tush into the air when he sucks on King Blubbah's ruby ring or meets some other Asian potentate. Then again he did dump Harold for lunch ( probably noshing on some leftover Popeye's from Air Force One.) But Motus isn't Mo wearing out that do? Whenever I see it I can't help but notice the cloying resemblance to the Duras Sisters. Even the outfits look cut from the same designer's cloth. Speaking of, any truth to the rumor over at HillBuzz that this is Mo's designer...

  3. MOTUS, you must be exhausted! All those wardrobe changes in such a small window of time and so much to adjust image-wise.

    I see they let some peasant in during the royal walk in...the woman(?) wearing the cap, casual jacket and pants (is that all biker-like leather?). She stood out like a sore thumb in her highly contrasting outfit, stepping out into the aisle like that. I'm surprised that MEshill, in her gold wrappings dress, didn't have her removed. The lack of respect is shocking, given their local worship of BO.

  4. The "Puff Host" did a B.I.G. spread on this:

  6. MOTUS.
    Question..Did the woman finally put on a pair of hose or did she sport her Turtle Wax gleam in Oslo? BTW could you find out what she uses to keep those gams so shiny? My furniture is jealous.

  8. Lulu,
    How did you hear about the Big White Pie Bakery? And no, there's no truth to the rumor that Bill Ayers will be opening a franchise branch in Chi-town.

    chiron,
    Uh, yes. That is an unfortunate photo of Ikram. She too discovered the Big White Pie Bakery. We're all going on a diet after New Years.

    Annie,
    Yes, it was an exhausting whirlwind and some of my drives didn't work very well in the frigid Norwegian climes. Someone has got to do something about this global warming.

    I can't explain how that little person slipped in, but I'm quite sure she was a member of the paperazzi.

    Breeze,
    You little stinker! The Spartacus was supposed to be a little secret between me and Lady M. She promised not to flash anyone, but I see you caught her! As well as the Won's signature chin sniff: can I put you down as a member of the supportive media from now on?

    Cinder,
    It was so cold in Oslo that we were wearing tights. And Uggs.

  10. Here is the dark gray twisted and draped snuggie - er, dress - shown on Mar Cotillard. It isn't great on Cotillard, but it sure is better! I can only imagine how that belly-drape worked out.

  12. Grrrr - found a back view of the blue dress that caused her to trip but cannot post it here for some reason. Here's a link to it:

    Post 78 has the photo as well as 2 models in what may have started out as short versions of this outfit:

  13. chiron,
    Pods make me very, very uneasy.

    Lulu,
    You really think Marion looked better than Lady M?

    Funky,
    Uh, we try to avoid all caboose shots, ok? If you can track down where that photo came from, can you let me know? Just so we can check his credentials.
