Thanks Funky! I haven't cleaned up my mail box yet, I'm dreading it actually. The importance of the mailbox pales next to keeping up with my fellow snarkettes.

Watched the video on your link. Very interesting. I fully expected that fuzzy Chinese thing in the background to be hers, too. Maybe the curator was too embarrassed to admit it. The Ruskie hat would look stunning on her nappy head in that get up! All it needs is a sweater and a belt - voila.

BettyAnn ~ Welcome back! I wondered if something had happened to you and g-mailed you hoping against hope that you hadn't abandoned us here! Sorry about the modem *ugh*

Had to share this store from Glamour mag:

It shows the dress that MO wore when she went to the ceremony at the Smithsonian to dedicate her wet toilet tissue inagural gown ~ oh! I mean when she went to donate her lovely, one of a kind designer inagural gown *whew fixed that one*.

Raj it was so kind of you to welcome BA back! We've all missed her so! Welcome back hon.

How do Raj. Never fear that I would imbibe and ride that red dragon at the same time!! I tried it just once, and forwith did not put down the kick stand. We both fell over with large question marks above our heads, remembering that only the utterly sober should ride, and live to tell the story.

Speaking of the beloved Martinae - do try this: press a couple of cukes out of their juice, and use in place of the vermouth. Get a couple of slices back in there to take up the slack, squeeze in a chunk of lemon, and add a cherry tomato for effect. Add 1 1/2 shots of a fine potato vodka (we must eat our vegetables, like mother said!) Pour over crushed ice. There you have it: a BA 52 Bomber.

Raj,
What a sweetie you are.

MOTUS,
Definitely the whip, a big bull whip.

Hello MOLs & FOMs, my name is Raj:

I report to you today that relief & joy has returned to my heart, seeing my nerd magic Honors Graduate, bettyann appear once again on MOTUS' blog.

Fears had gripped me as we know of your choices to enjoy beverage martinis and large motorized bicycles. Not at the same moment of course we hope. Never did I suppose absence could be from a failed modem dissappointment.

Thank you for permitting me to express my relief here in MOTUS' MOL & FOM snark room, even as my note is contributed without this groups customary snarkiness.

Raj

Yes, indeed. We were concerned, bettyann and missed your Royal Snarkiness.

2010-03-10T16:58:25.999-05:00

OH! All the delicious snarks. Such a feast! Kind of like brown cannoles at WH State diner, only in spiked heels with little boiled Gibsey's in the middle.

MOTUS, I really love the bottom dominoe belt paired with the upper prison bars look - very appropro, considering what might happen with Obama Care. Love the jack boots too - perfect for stomping little people and castroti alike.

"sniff"

Portia Elizabeth: Thank you for missing me, dear. It did seem so and I considered running with the goods, but missed you all very much and so could not wait to get on line again.

Note to self; never place modem on floor during cleaning house where husband in big boots steps. And that's all I have to say about that.

2010-03-10T15:47:19.701-05:00

MOTUS-- thank you for posting that runway pic!! I've been looking for my car's floor mats ever since I had it detailed and now I know where they went. Who'd have thought an old Volvo could be wearing Paris fashion?

The MO pic is scary, but that trillion-dollar bill gave me chills. Why does anyone think he's attractive? Look at him. He has a head shaped like candy corn.

Hey, Bettyann! Welcome back. We were beginning to wonder if you'd taken your award and hit the road.

2010-03-10T14:48:51.349-05:00

We are on correct way, comrades!
This is exactly the style of fashion favored by Russian Revolutionaries 90 years ago. Just for poverty they used felted wool instead of high grade leather.

As for accessories it was very fashionable back then to have a particular style of hat - called Budyonovka. Look here: http://tinyurl.com/ydwgww5
The text is in Russian, but there is a picture of Leon Trotsky wearing full attire (men's goes without belt) with Budyonovka as accessory. All together it seems very appropriate.

By the way my Grandma the Tailor was so infatuated with Leon Trotsky at the time she wore his portrait on her stocking garter (poor women back then didn't have pantyhose and it was unthincable to go out without stocking).

Word of caution: Funky Town, hide the above picture from your little sister...

I voted for nunchucks, having misread it as "nutchucks" which I'm positive Big (Racist) MO already owns and keeps under the mattress...thereby saving a bit of cash for more boots...or now that Spring is just around the corner...new $600 trainers.

The thought of B(R)MO having a whip, nutchucks OR a light saber just may send me shopping for a cute little Baretta and a membership in "Babes with Bullets"...you may remember dear Nancy Reagan kept a purse size pearl handle pistol. She may have felt somewhat insecure after Ronnie was shot and now that the congressional critters, Chuckie and Lindsay, are suggesting a National ID Card (do you doubt they will put a GPS chip in them?) I'm feeling a little vulnerable myself. The idea of their being able to track us down inside SFA or Neimans! Have they no shame?

2010-03-10T13:57:38.866-05:00

My eyes, my eyes!(gack)
Chose nunchuks, they just seemed so appropriate and fit the expression on MO's face.

2010-03-10T11:44:35.629-05:00

Good morning MOTUS and MOLs!! I missed you all very much, but now the modem is fixed. I am looking forward to catching up on all the snarks I have missed, plus snarking it up a little myself!!

I'll be back.

2010-03-10T11:18:04.154-05:00

I chose whip because of it's versatility. She'll never need to deploy it because - come on!- who is going to provoke her with or without a weapon in her hand? But it can do extra duty by wrapping around her wrist for that multi-bracelet look she favors or rolled up and attached to her lapel, it can blend in with her other signature brooches. If she really feels the need to demonstrate its potential, she can use it to harvest some WH garden arugula with just a flick of the wrist.

2010-03-10T10:27:17.536-05:00

I chose the Light Sabre so that she can point out the fat kids who will crush our economy with their fat behinds.
She will lead the way with saving the planet by wearing Glad garbage bags, accented with recycled auto parts.
Lead on, MO!

2010-03-10T04:59:37.706-05:00

OMG Motus! That last picture scared the heebie-jeebies RIGHT OUT OF ME!

Those poor little germies in my bronchial passages had no chance against the 'woman in black' with the black look!

Yikes ~ I think we need some sort of warning like the FReepers do when someone posts a Helen Thomas thread with photos attached! You know Helen of course, the doyenne (read gargoyle) of the WH press corps. They label them 'graphic images' *laughing*

Thanks for sending me off to nightmare land MOTUS .... but I still lubs ya!
