House of Wax?

I’ve noticed something very disturbing. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I’m here in Park City enjoying all the fun at the celebrity-jammed Sundance Film Festival which means I’m doing Lady M’s refractions remotely. But I seem to have detected that as of late, some of her images are starting to look a bit, ah, how can I put this? Wax-like.

I’m hoping it’s just my puritanical work/guilt complex that has marred my perceptions. Maybe you would all help me perform a quick reality check. What do you think?

Wax or Not-Wax:

I know, I know! It’s hard to tell!

 

aaaaawax

Hugs and kisses from the only place on earth wackier and more delusional than D.C. –  Sundance.

I promise to be back at work full time as of Monday - with all my new chips in place - to work on our second historic year.

  1. MOTUS,
    I think the consenus of opinion over at one of your BBFF's sites is that MO may have indulged in one cocktail too many before attending "Fight Obesity" function yesterday. Thus the goofy plastered on grin and unfocused eye. ( Obviously the Botox is working a little too well on the other eye. You can't even see it.)What do you think? Maybe the lack of inhibition also allowed her to channel her inner "gansta" when choosing that suit?
    Quit playing around with those Hollywood a**holes and get back here. We need your reflections on the matter.

  3. I haven't heard of the term 'waxed' but I agree that plastered might be appropiate.
    I'm trying to imagine any of the last 5 First Ladies in that striped suit. Oh heck, how about Nancy Reagan or Lady Bird Johnson?

  4. srdem65: I can't imagine the southern and very gentile Lady Bird in that stripped monstrosity. Nancy, a classic in her Adolpho's, Oscar's and Galanos suits and gowns...a paragon of chic. No, I don't see her in gangstra stripes.

  5. I meant genteel Lady Bird. We already know she wasn't Jewish!

  6. Are the Wax figures more popular than the Obamamas? I am wondering.

    As for the outfit, it looks as if it came from The Outfit, the euphesism here in Chicago for the Mafia. If this is another Mazrahi from Ikram, I would say we have been 'muslimized', wouldn't you?

    Which makes me wonder when MO will begin wearing a keffiyeh...never a burqa, because she needs soooo much attention!

  7. They forgot to glue the cotton balls onto the mannequin's ball gown.

    As for the stripes, I think that is the actual suit worn by Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman movie...

    Ugh.

  8. They were all out of maxipads at Walgreen's I'm afraid Speakdog.

    Like I said in an earlier thread 'anyone got a match?' No let me re-phrase; 'can i borrow a blow torch?'

    As for that 'big tent' look, or rather Minnie the Moocher meets Al Pacino, the less said the better.

  9. The only thing funnier than the suit is the notion that she'll lead our nation's fight against obesity. And to think that of all the thousands of get-up she's worn this year, THIS is the one she actually wears a second time.

  10. hey someone posted a link somewhere to a vid on the past year's retrospective on Mozilla's fashion selections. Anyone have it handy?

  11. I hate stripes, especially striped suits. This SOOOOOO looks like a gangsta suit, and would look horrible on anyone except maybe Al Capone. That top she wore looked stupid with the high neckline. It would have been better IMHO to have a traditional blouse with a collar. Maybe, to give MO the benefit of the doubt, the photographer caught her facial expression by accident, you know how when you are blinking or coughing. This is not the most attractive MO we have seen. I agree with you though, of all her massive clothes collection she has acquired, WHY recycle this garbage???

  12. What was the old tagline for Memormex? Ah yes. The new and improved version for the Obamas':

    Is it live or is it Memorwax?

  13. Ahem, with all due deference...

    Shouldn't that be: "Is it wive...or is it Memowax?"

  14. Cinder,
    Oh, I think we can assume that Lady M is "plastered." I just can't tell if it's an internal or external job. Either way, she's looking pretty cockeyed.

    srdem,
    And I can also assure you that she's been waxed. It keeps you ripe longer. But no, no other first lady since I've been on duty was ever seen in public in a zoot suit. I'm going to hide it as soon as I get back. I thought I already had.

    M.DeFarge,
    "Adolpho's, Oscar's, Galanos" - you make me swoon with nostalgia. And of course Lady Bird wasn't Jewish. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    RPFS,
    "The Outfit!" I love it. As in: Does the man/woman make "the Outfit", or does "the Outfit" make the man/woman?

    Speak,
    Maybe it's going to be an interactive display: glue a cotton ball on MO's gown!

    chiron,
    No; no matches, no blow torches. Nobody smokes in the White House any more. OK?

    Moright,
    This suit was the easiest to alter, all they had to do was insert a few extra rows.

    KathyN,
    I don't know. From the dozens of pics I saw, she was either having a coughing and blinking fit, or she was in suspended animation.

    Mr and Mrs P,
    Aw, qwit it you two. I weally, weally wesent the implication the O's are just wepwacas. That's almost as bad as being a wepubwacan.
