A quick catch-up on our week: Monday Lady M went to give a little pep talk to the nation’s school lunch directors. In a demonstration of solidarity with MO’s No Fat Child’s Behind program, they were in constant motion. It was nearly a record: 25 minute speech and 24 minutes of applause - much of it standing O’s. The room looked like it was filled with Jack-in-the-boxes. (Which are, of course, banned from school lunch programs.)
I’m not sure why they treated her like a rock star; all she did was tell them that she knew how hard their jobs were, especially with the paltry amount of money they were given to do it with. So she’s going to fix all that by making sure they all get a lot more money.Somebody was heard off stage shouting “who pays!?, but they finally dragged Senator Bunning back to the Capital.
Lady M wore her Pepto Pink orgami gown, accented with a vintage brooch for the occasion.
Then yesterday, it was off to the Library of Congress to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday: he would have been 106!. Almost as old as Nancy Pelosi.
Argyle, boob belt, pearls: what could go wrong?
It was a kickoff of the National Education Association’s Read Across America campaign.
Trust me; Lady M knows better than ANYONE how important reading is.

One of your wittiest, MOTUS! Two thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe my eyes when I saw MO standing in front of a map of the US. That pic only emphasizes that her hips spread from Las Vegas all the way to New Orleans.
**Somebody was heard off stage shouting “who pays!?, but they finally dragged Senator Bunning back to the Capital.**
ReplyDeleteVery funny. (:
Imagine if a Republican dressed like her?
ReplyDeleteMrs. P
Looks to me like origami dress had to be taken in in the boob area. I wonder if they used the this extra fabric to fix the dress in the hip area.
ReplyDeleteAs for the argile outfit - where is the vintage pepto brooch? Besides, it's actually fastened with a button right above the belt. Big mistake! It makes the cardi look like it almost fits on the hips.
was that belt pink? who is dressing her? she put that brooch on not in the center and not quite to the side...does she actually look in the mirror?
ReplyDeleteMOTUS,
ReplyDeleteShouldn't a woman who has enough money to buy arms full of pearl bracelets have enough cash to get her slacks altered? Tell me where my logic is going wrong here.
BTW..Did you see the photos of the lovely Sarah as she appeared on Leno's show last night? She looked just fab!
Whose socks is she wearing?
ReplyDeleteIn that Pepto photo I got stalled at the Dracula smile. Anyone bring a cross?
ReplyDeleteThis dress and the grey one she wore (again) the other day are examples of some of the worst design and execution with fabric that I have ever seen. They rumple and bumpfle and do weird things over what passes for her bustline. The grey one was Moschino. This may be, too. Did any of Moschino's people learn to cut and drape or are they still auditioning for Project Runway. A fright to behold.

Are comments going through moderation now? If they aren't, mine just disappeared....

The constant in her attire is:
ReplyDeleteIt will be wrinkled, twisted
It will be too small, too tight, too short
It will be adorned with something strange
It never looks quite right.
The caption on that photo in the horizontally wrinkled skin tight pants could be:
ReplyDelete"Be careful what yo eats, honey, or yo could end up looking like dis..."

Take heart, Laura Bush's memoir, 'Spoken From the Heart,' is due out in early May. How does the saying go? Keep calm and carry on.
ReplyDeleteDonna Karen should be called in to salvage FLOTUS. She's the only designer who makes clothes that will fit bigger women. She also knows how to drape.
ReplyDeleteCinderella, I saw the video of Sarah on Leno. Her jokes were funny and she's got pretty good delivery. But it was disappointing to see her in denim, a fabric that really should be put back in its proper place before it completely devours the culture's sartorial sense. And no, blue jeans do not "go with everything."
ReplyDeleteLulu, my earlier comment disappeared too. I made an admirably objective statement in defense of the brooch placement (it follows the dress lines) and in defense of argyle generally, though not as MO wears it. I kinda had to defend argyle since I wore it yesterday.
The dress would have looked better without the brooch. She could have worn more interesting earrings and left the brooch off. But those appear to be good-sized diamond studs, so maybe she is showing off having a bit of real stuff amongst the pricey junque. Ditto the pearls, though they don't appear to have the luster of the real deals and are awfully white.
ReplyDeleteShe does not understand how to "style" a look, so usually misses by a mile, goes overboard, ends up with a mishmosh. Imagine some designers cringe when they see what she has done to one of their garments or ensembles.

Portia,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I don't even like to think about the "See to shining sea" possibilities.
kmbr.
Sen. Bunning is our new (secret) hero around here.
Mrs. P
Republicans simply don't dress like this.
vereteno,
Our seamstress seems only to fold, not to cut.
sunnygirl,
"does she actually look in the mirror?" OUCH!
Cinder,
Your logic is flawless. It must be your eyes that are failing you.
Anon1
Sox? That was the Clinton's cat.
Lulu,
No moderation here. And even if there was, we certainly wouldn't moderate the MOLs! Can't explain the dropped comments, but please let me know if it continues.
I can't really respond for the Moschimo crew, but they do seem to need a little remedial training.
srdem,
That's our morning mantra!
Moright,
Laura! How I miss her. I used to get to take whole weeks off sometimes when she was here.
MadameD
Two thumbs up on DonnaK! A closet full of her designs, and I might actually get to take a weekend off.
bettyann: Are you out there? I think maybe your daughter could help us out too.Has anyone heard from bettyann? We may have to contact the El Paso house of corrections.
Anon,
Again, sorry about the disappearing comments. Hope it's just a blip.
And I think we can all support the wearing of argyle socks.
Lulu,et al,
I just don't understand where all this hostility is coming from. All the other sites we're allowed to read say Lady M is still the pinnacle of taste and style. Am I missing something?

The answer is Yes. You, and others on this site are missing a gene for servility. It's a rare recessive genetic condition. Such people might be beaten (literally and figuratively) to mask this genetic deficiency by behaving themselves properly, but they are still not servile and will always grab the slightest opportunity to start thinking for themselves and expressing their bad attitude. Unfortunately, by the law of genetics, recessive conditions can not be eliminated from population. People with this condition usually aggregate in small numbers, they are not violent, but extremely sarcastic. In the US the best place to keep these people from influencing society is a camp in Arizona.
Hello MOTUS MOLs, my name is Raj:
ReplyDeleteHow is the weather where you are?
MOTUS has submitted to me a technical support request for a full investigation into comments which have gone missing.
I understand that some of MOTUS’s MOLs have reported that posted comments have gone missing. This has prompted suspicion that someone on Team Obama may be now, without prior notice, moderating comments.
Having a full and complete understanding of the technical support request, I have completed a prompt and reliable investigation into the matter of the missing comments.
First, I would like to calm the fears of MOTUS’s Trillions of loyal MOLs by confirming with the strongest emphasis that no comment moderation is used by MOTUS on her wonderful blog. No fears should linger that perhaps Rahmbo, Axe-man or other Team Obama member has, with high stealth, moderated comments on MOTUS blog, as I have installed a firewall that even I, Raj, can not penetrate for purpose of moderation.
My full and complete investigation does show that, beginning in December of 2009, Google Blogspot bloggers began reporting that comments have gone missing. There is no prompt or reliable technical support response from Google Blogspot at this time. Some report that comments return with great surprise, while others lament that comments never find their way back home.
Previously, I have reported with deep regret, that the Office of the MOTUS budget is presently not sufficient to support a move of MOTUS blog to another host. MOTUS and I are presently preparing an amendment to the Senate Health Care Takeover Legislation which could provide additional funds, through reconciliation “simple majority vote”, for the Office of the MOTUS in case Big Guy and Toes can intimidate enough House lemmings to run with great speed into the Sea of November.
Please to advise me, Raj, if future comments go missing. Please to advise me as well if your missing comments find their way home again with great surprise.
I am shamed and regret that I was unable to resolve with finality the missing comments bug. I resolve to continue to pursue with tenacious fervor the resolution with Google Blogspot’s neither prompt, nor reliable technical support.
Raj
