Spring Roll Run-Through in 30 Seconds, with Peeps

It’s not until next Monday, but we started preparations for the annual Easter Egg Roll (can I still call it that, or is a Spring Roll now?) today.

We had a little run-through with a bunch of the the staff’s kids. You remember how Lady M likes to greet little kids when they come to visit us at the Big White don’t you? Well, it looks like we’re going to have to work on her initial welcome before the actual Spring Roll. Lady M doesn’t want to scare the little children. Again.

Let’s just say the run through could have gone smoother. First of all, as you know, Lady M is just coming off her latest Botox treatment, and I guess some of the children didn’t recognize her. I don’t think it had anything to do with the boob belt. But you know how it is with kids - once one of them gets all hyper on you, the hysteria just spreads like chicken pox. The actual video was a little too ugly to use, in fact it’s been confiscated by the Secret Service. So I’ve staged a little re-enactment with Peeps to show you the sequence of events:

Warning: the kids are really LOUD. May need to turn volume down if you’re at work. Or if you have sensitive ears.

I’m sure we’ll have everything ironed out by Monday. Although I’m still not sure the wooden eggs in place of candy eggs are going to go over very well.

  1. I know this is off-topic to this particular upcoming lets-scare-the-kiddies opportunity (as if Halloween wasn't enough), but I came across this let's-worship-Michelle moment courtesy of weaselzippers.net. I knew you wonderful ladies would not want to let me suffer alone so I share this link: http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-100_162-4825288.html?tag=page

    Which then led me to this link: http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-100_162-4825288.html?tag=page of which picture 5 shows MO in fine form doing the jive walk. But then I got to pic 6 and 7 and wondered 'what the... happened to her hair?'

    I could go on and on - how about a caption contest for pic 19? - but then this question came to mind...did I read somewhere that MO is now wearing wigs?

    I feel so much better in having shared these precious moments.

    : )

    ps. Still waiting patiently for those leaked pics from the private dinner with Carla and Nick, Shelly and Barry.

  2. The photos at that CBS link reveal that she has had a major makeover, perhaps before that official portrait photo was taken?

    No question about the wigs. She is now sporting shiny smooth Asian hair. Once again, check out her own hair in the photos from early 2009. A photo at HuffPost at Christmas time (it was a feature on Toys for Tots) showed her with strange spiky hair all over the top and in back. Then she moved to the lacquered updos for a month or so. And then on to this "new look" - no way that this is her own hair.

    In closeups you can see that her own hair is smoothed back and this wighat is plopped on top.

  3. She fried her own hair at some point in 2009 before that December photo.

  4. I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! This deserves an Oscar for best short subject or maybe best horror film.
    I haven't laughed so much since my husband answered a phone survey because he thought he'd won a new Blackberry. Mind you, this man is a Harvard grad and a doctor, but sometimes he's so gullible.

  5. That's the best laugh I've had all week, Motus! Happy April!

  6. MOTUS, that was great. Poor little blighters. They are lucky that she gave them a chance to run, instead of biting off their little marshmellow heads.

  7. Pepper, not to make you lose your breakfast or anything, but google Laura Bush photos, and compare to the same for Michelle.

    If there is any doubt at all that the propaganda machine is alive and well, google will set you straight.

  8. That peep diorama is a keeper. I love how they had to stick a bunny on top of a peep to get the correct Amazonian proportions to portray MOO towering over the other figures. Also, asymetrical eyes.

  9. Laura, the lovely, gracious one:

  11. Thanks for the new desktop wallpaper MOTUS! Hilarious.

    To the rest of the world, it's April Fool's Day. At the Big White, it's just a Thursday.

  12. I could watch that video over and over! An epic! A work of art! An ad for peeps!
    Now I'm craving sugar...

  15. Please...see my post

    I find this woman to be trampy and totally disgusting...yet she is sooooo CLUELESS! Does she EVAH look into your mirror? I think not!

    I would like to thank MOTUS for all the restraint, the hard work, and I believe, dear MOTUS, you deserve some sort of refracted Oscar. I shall work on creating one, and will send it to you.

  16. What is weirder than that is - who plants full grown lettuce? Wasn't there just a ten foot snow storm there? Where did this full grown lettuce come from? Why is Michelle in full face make-up and dressed in black outside planting full grown lettuce? We can't see if she is wearing green shoes, but you betcha.

  17. Pepper,

    I’m a little surprised those CBS photos are still available. I’m quite sure they were on Toe’s list of items to be expunged permanently. I’ll mention it to him.

    Anon1,

    Please. We do not refer to it as Lady M’s “wighat." We call it Krissie.

    Portia,

    I’m so glad you like my re-enactment. Maybe I should try to capture some other historic moments as well. And I’m very sorry to here about your husband. I take it he’s a Democrat?

    bettyann,

    “bite off their little marshmallow ears”? Just what kind of a monster do you think I’m dealing with here?

    Suzette,

    I think she might have an uncorrected astigmatism.

    Mrs. P,

    If by “fair”, you mean liar.

    Rattle,

    Yes. Day after day... month after month… I can’t allow myself to think about it.

    Portia,

    Do you think I should enter it in the Sundance shorts next year? I’d love to go back.

    Anon2,

    While I like those Hillbuzz boyz, they are a little mean to Lady M sometimes.

    Anon3,

    Nice sequel material!

    RP Free,

    Now we’ve been through this: my job is to make her reflection look like she thinks she looks. That’s why I’m always so tired and run down. Loved your post,but let’s try to not mention the fake hair again, ok? MO’s sensitive.

    Silly bettyann! What else did you expect to find in the garden of the jolly green giant?

  19. Look at the expression where she's holding the giant centipede. That's the real Lady M, unstaged and uncensored.

  20. Sorry I just posted on the wrong thread. You can find the pic anyway.
