Bow to the bedazzler
Did you all watch the State of the Union Address? Now you know we don’t discuss politics on this site. Instead, we’re equal opportunity eye rollers. Also, we find that during these speeches the best viewing is of the audience.
Remember with Ruth Bader Ginsberg fell asleep last year because she had a glass or two of wine beforehand? She was adorable and quite charming about the incident afterwards. Besides, we love her – if not for the fact that she’s a woman on the Supreme freaking Court, but also because she soups up those boring black robes with those nifty collars.
This SOTU speech audience had plenty of great audience moments, but not were so fabulous as this woman.
You know how sometimes you see a person and you think, “Oh, I hope this is me in thirty years.”
Maybe not. Maybe we’re the only ones who do this. The Sisters have plans of growing old together, wearing evening gowns to the grocery store, having more animals than is prudent, and being a constant embarrassment to our children. It’s going to be fabulous!
This woman – Miss Edith Childs – is perfect. Everything about her outfit is perfect. Look at that hat! Sweet Lord that hat is exquisite. How much does it weigh, do you suppose? It looks heavy, but that sort of neck ache is worth it. Beauty is pain.
And her expression – we’re going to start practicing very day to master that look. That expression says, “I’m taking zero shits from you. I might be bored. I might not be. You’ll never know. I’m mercurial. What do you have to say about that? That’s what I thought. Now skedaddle.”
We know you think we’re being smart asses, but we’re not. Miss Edith is our patronus. Our future role model. Who we want to be when we grow up.
Miss Edith, you rocked the hell out of SOTU.
