American IdOl: Do Kroners Come With That?

So let’s start with the most important news: Big Guy and Lady M on American Idol. Huge Hit. What could be better than Big Guy telling his homies, that “you're all my dawgs!" Or was he talking about greedy titans of Wall Street? Then Lady M tosses out this admonition:  "and Simon, be nice!" and even though she did it in that menacing way of hers, I doubt that Simon will pay attention. He’s a British citizen, and isn’t really frightened by MO because he’s worked with lots of fashion forward prima donnas in his day.

But of course the really big news yesterday was the Red Suit with the sequined low rider top. We’re trying out a new stylist this week, but apparently she ordered the wrong size.

As you can see, it pretty much fits everywhere, which is not one of our signature looks. Also, no belts, boob or otherwise, so our tiny waist is, well, wasted. No brooches made out of dead animal parts, insects or even fashionable flowers. The only thing she got right were the silver slippers and the low scoop-neck tank with sparkly pink and red dots. But as you see here, the suit was fitted well enough to allow us to get those kids fat behinds moving without much awkward pulling and bunching. That usually means it doesn’t fit right.

And when MO does her Atlas impersonation, she likes to flash her toned forearms, in an act intended to intimidate the enemy (in this case, fat) into compliance. Hard to do with long sleeves.

 

 

All in all, I think I could work together with this un-named stylist, but I seriously doubt that she’s going to be around long.

We also had a meeting yesterday with a group of Olympians and Paralympians at the Big White: an amazing group of athletes, some with significant disabilities, who are among the best in the world. And guess what? They’re all proud of their country!ice hockey

 Apolo Ohno; check out that butt! (Someone slipped behind – no pun intended – the security line to get this booty shot, which is clearly off limits.)

Big day ahead: Earth Day, Wall Street Smack Down. I wonder if Big Guy’s going to wear his purple tie? I’ll get back to you after his “speech.”

  1. Well MOTUS, you are most certainly right. That designer won't be around long at all. The suit is gorgeous, and a great color for Her Highness. It fits: it balances out her body so that you cannot see where she stores those chocolate canolis.

    But then she just had to ruin it with sequins and shiney shoes. She is showing way too much cleavage around kids. But what do you expect when you have to fold your tits to get them in a bra.

  2. The hanging melons need to hang in private.

  3. She DOES look like Atlas in that photo. Masculine, that is.

  4. MO does resemble Atlas in that photo in terms of masculinity.

  5. We used to "move" in school and we did it all without wasting a lot of money and having the FLOTUS do silly mugging camera ops.

    It was called RECESS. Then when we came home, we played in a park or the backyard.

    But SEIU didn't benefit from that or waste money, so I guess that was "problematic."

  6. We used to "get moving" and we wore our own shirts to do it. Imagine that!

    Moving on our own and not expecting the taxpayers to buy us special shirts.

  7. It really was a shock to see MO in an outfit that actually looks the right size. But not to disappoint, she grabbed a sequined top and silver slippers. Heaven forbid, she would go one day without enough metallics to contact the space station.

  10. MOTUS, yesterday at work a fat kid finally showed at the music camp. I let him eat four sandwiches and have an extra bag of chips. He had a lot of acres to water.

  11. The little dots were sequins? For a daytime athletic affair with children?
    I'm having a senior moment here.

  12. At the risk of being tiresomely repetitive . . .

    This fashion nightmare is being advised by journeymen Clintonistas. Who else could be spiteful enough to recommend a repulsively cleavage-revealing SEQUIN-STUDDED top for a children's health fair? And silver shoes during the day?

    It's simply not possible for a highly paid fashion expert to miscalculate so horribly, so consistently. There is a fierce revenge mentality behind the sartorial advice Lady Atlas is getting.

    MOTUS, what is up with that wighat? It's weird! And all the mugging for cameras? Is this loon off her meds? Or hitting the flask too early? She's totally embarrassing.

  13. It just occurred to me that the pantsuit is a dead giveaway!

    Someone from Hillary's camp is recycling her smelly old outfits by sneaking them into Michelle's wardrobe. Just goes to show how downright mean and grudge-holding those Clintons are. LOL!

  14. "Senior moment" - LOL!!

    Aren't there etiquette rules for color matching, "blue and green should never be seen"? My mother was adamant that one does not mix pink and red together.

    Sine Qua Non, now now. That wighat represents lovely, straight, obedient Asian hair. You know what a fan MOO is of the Chinese.

  15. If MO's fashion advice is Hillary's revenge, then I say, "Well done, and hilarious there, Hillary!"

  17. MOTUS, I know why you like that photo of Apolo.

    What nice teeth that young man has ;)

  18. Is it my imagination, or is MO's wardrobe showing alot more spandex in the fabric? Even that stuff can only stretch so far.
    (Yes, nnngghhh, it's stiiiiiiilllll a siiiiiiiiiiiize eiiiiiiight...)

  19. Another First Lady Fashion First : Michelle is wearing a color blind test.

    The perfect tank top for our post-racial presidency.

    I clearly see "Loser".

    Here's hoping she's got a itsy bitsy teenie weenie Rorschach inkspot bikini all lined up for summer.

  20. Where's this suit been for the past 18 months? She actually looks like she can be taken serious now. But when your gaze gets to her shoes, it's a WTF moment. You ask yourself, "Why?" and sigh.
