Ah. Michelle dressed all by herself today, I see.
And so ends the week on a cheap shot. That I pinched from Drudge.
Honestly, I’d feel bad making fun of Michelle’s fashion sense (I’m no runway model, myself) if they weren’t forever putting her on the cover of Vogue and calling her the beautifullest, elegantest first lady since Jackie O.
You push; I push back.
What’s that around her middle, anyhow? A hose clamp?
Good weekend, everyone!

Am I the only one who thinks Lt. Worf when they see her? She looks like a Klingon crackwhore.

I think Ace started the Worf meme, Tesla. It’s so very apt (though there is apparently some debate whether “wookie” is somehow racist).
I’ve been meaning to do a Worf graphic, when I can get around to it.

Yes, a hose clamp on a sack o’ pertaters. The most elegant, cultured, and male-swoon-inducing sack o’ pertaters you prollish numbskulls have ever set eyes on.

It’s the latest in Klingon battle gear…the utility belt is a must-have…they’re going to do M.O. action figures for x-mas

I just noticed: her eyebrows have been plucked cleaner than a Puerto Rican drag queen’s.

S.Weasel, thanks for the Ace connect. The Worf idea seemed too inventive for my feeble abilities. On the AOSHQ front, will you be doing any more neato stuff for him? Yesterday’s obama meltdown was pure genius.

I’d love to do things for Ace, Tesla. Any time I get an Ace link, my stats go spaz. It’s a trip!
But that’s not how it happens. That one yesterday was a graphic from last year that Gabe somehow remembered seeing. I count on people from the blogosphere checking in on me from time to time and snagging things as they like.
My graphics policy is: help yourself. I’m just grateful for the attention.

Please do the Worf thing. If it’s half as good as the one you did with her hugging the Queen, it will be awesome.

I still think she’s messing with our heads by dressing that way. In some way she gets a kick out of seeing how far she can get the media to toady to her. “Let’s see… oh I know, I think tomorrow I’ll wear a dress made of cardboard boxes and my grandmother’s old chintz couch. They’ll probably tell me I look great in my new Karl Lagerfeld creation.”

Did her own hair, too – using, apparently, an electric trolling motor, a wooden spoon and a wee handful of plastic clothespins…
Nice – kinda puts you in mind of Pancho Villa’s long-lost younger cousin…who they hoped would STAY lost.
All the fashion sense of Boxcar Annie riding the A.T.& S.F.

I think the original meme was “Weapons Officer on a Klingon Bird of Prey” as per STII:TWOK, which had one of the distaff persuasion (although Christ knows if that’s canon, and I shower far too regularly to know or care or be motivated enough to find out).
Also: that is just alarming. I lost track of RuPaul for a while – mystery solved.

Somebody needs to inform Michelle that it’s a bit of a faux pax to wear the strapon harness outside the bedroom.
Unless you’re going to a fetish ball, that is.

David, how dare you compare Michelle to RuPaul! RuPaul is the hawt! Plus, s/he would never wear something as silly as that getup.
If, however, you are comparing Michelle to drag queens in general? Yeah, I can see that.

BuckNutty (and/or S. Weasel, or anybody) – when was the weaselpic of Michelle hugging the Queen? I missed that one.

I don’t see Weasel’s drawing at the huffpo link, but maybe I missed it. I can’t find it in the archive either. I think it was back in April

Heh. I’d forgotten that. The hug.
I was awfully careful not to be too unflattering then 🙂

Sorry, I misunderstood. Weasel’s hug picture was much better than the original.

Even 100 years from now, they will look back on her and laugh. Her wardrobe will never become mainstream, so we get to laugh now and forever more.

This is really weird. If you go check out this cartoon strip at Treacher’s you’ll see she wore another outfit involving a wide belt over a sweater: http://jimtreacher.com/archives/002124.html#more . Who does that? I guess I do sometimes, when I get confused coming out of the bathroom, but I usually catch it.
Anyway I melded your’s and Treachers’ photo together for my new Twitter background.

Apologies, Chef M. Perhaps a better comparison would be Wesley Snipes in “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar”.
The thing is, Michelle isn’t out-and-out hideous, The disconnect comes from portraying her as some kind of goddess. She’s prettier than Sarah Brown, PM Gordon’s wife (who I’m sure is a perfectly pleasant woman to whom I bear no ill-will and who has suffered through the loss of a child, no matter how much I despise her husband.) The wife of the Swedish PM, for example, Filippa Reinfeldt is much prettier. Then there’s Carla Bruni…

Whereas, Cherie Blair is a cow of such stupendous hideousness — inside and out — that she defies caricature.

Hose clamp (snickers) – Having wrestled with many of those in my previously employed life, spot on.
I think she’s actually attractive, and would look quite pretty if she didn’t insist on dressing as a mashup of the Frito Bandito and Kelly Osbourne at her worst. I remember my darling (and drop-dead stylish) mother counseling short-waisted persons (such as myself) to avoid certain waistline/belt treatments, in order not to look like “a featherbed with a string tied around the middle.” I’m not at all stylish, but I follow *that* rule.

Please don’t let Cherie’s defiance of caricature stop you from making the attempt, Weasel, we beg you.
Oh, and ‘hose clamp’ – it’s called a Jubilee Clip by the cognoscenti.

Jubilee clip. I think I knew that. And, might I add, what an extraordinarily gay thing to call a hose clamp.

I liked the original Scooby Doo theme better. Here it is in Polish. And let us never speak of the abomination that is Scrappy Doo.

Heh. She’s not a graphic whore. She’s a graphic slut!
And regarding Michelle, how hard is it to wear a simple black or navy blue wool dress or suit? I’m strictly hetero and I know that much about fashion.

Okay, that was a joke. But you know what ? If she had the plumber remove the hose clamp, that outfit would still look like crap.

To me it looks like her torso actually unscrews from the rest of her. Like a really fancy cap on a perfume bottle.

But wait, there’s more! Everyone knows a (postumous) Medal of Honor ceremony requires a festive party dress. Featuring lots of blood red in garish swashes. Gaaaah.

Good grief, that woman is hideous.
Can you imagine waking up next to that every morning?
The fact that Obama would marry someone like that shows a serious lack of jusgement.
And those legs! I haven’t seen such ugly legs since
the last time Hillary wore a dress.
At least Hillary’s handlers got her into pantsuits pretty quickly.

And did anyone notice on the guitar dress picture, that bo is wearing a matching tie. How sweet is that?
