Friday Caption Contest Results: John Galliano Edition

The Little Fashion Troll has been captioned, and captioned well. Here is our fabulous winner for this week, and the fabulous imaginary swag to go with the immeasurable esteem of one’s peers.

Do these pants make my package look big?

Jennie’s sharp eye goes right to the point, or at least the bulge, of the matter. And for her imaginary trophy, nothing less than the completely fabulous will do. What shall it be? Shoes too high to walk in? Hats too big to be seen under? No, it must be more, MORE! It must be: a personalized fantasy in which John Galliano Himself Screams at you While Dressed (?) as the Red Queen. But at least in this fantasy you get to lord it over everyone who was only screamed at by Tyra Banks, AND you get to keep the dress and flamingo.

John Galliano IS a queen

Friday Caption Contest: Skeletal Edition

Erol Sander STARVISIT at Burda Publishing Group Offenburg

Yes, it’s up on Friday! The winner of last week’s contest will be announced tomorrow, so you have till I wake up to get your caption on.

Now, of this image it must be said that at this point on a Friday night (fill in the blanks yourselves) I’m not entirely sure who German actor Erol Sander is, but he’s cute and I once trained a Samoyed named Errol and he was cute too, and Errol Flynn was cute and nefarious and had his autopsy conducted not far from where I’m sitting and apparently (and you didn’t hear this from me) the most interesting bits went missing!

Oh goodness me, I’m starting to sound like Plumcake, and I haven’t had NEARLY enough espresso for that, so without further ado we will invite you to post your caption in the comments. Best caption wins, as always, entirely virtual, and entirely fabulous, swag.

My, my. That’s quite a treasure chest you’ve got there. Model (no specific gender) and Madonna impersonator Gina Lisa Lohfink shows off a corset good enough to eat. Below, more chocouture from the Lambertz chocolate boutique fashion show.

Is it hot in here, or…

February 1st, 2010
By raincoaster
The 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards - Backstage

is it just the warming effect of standing so close to Alice Cooper, the #1 choice in hot senior rocker dudes for those who can’t bring themselves to fancy Rod Stewart?

It must be one or the other, if Katy Perry’s cleverly (and pro-actively) aerated armpits are anything to judge by.

2010 MusiCares Person Of The Year Tribute To Neil Young - Arrivals

As the silver-tongued charmer Robin Williams so memorably put it, pregnant women get a visit from the Titty Fairy; as he did not mention, this can cause some difficulty in the Supportive Undergarmenture Department. Here, new mother Camilla Alves shows a creative solution to the problem of propagating pulchritude: supportive webbing criss-crossing the Ladies like an underwire made of veterinary-strength lead rope. Lifts, Separates, and, in a pinch, can be used as emergency bungee lines.

Friday Caption Contest Results: Candace Bergen Edition

January 31st, 2010
By raincoaster

It seems hardly anybody wants to make fun of beloved Hollywood icon Candace Bergen, despite the fact that her biggest role was as a self-described Bitch On Wheels. Or maybe everyone’s just still afraid of her! In any case, we have chosen our winner:

Candace Bergen sees what you did there

Paige Says:
January 24th, 2010 at 12:30 pm

I’m looking. Lay off it. That bitch from Narnia is in here somewhere, I know it. I’ll find her. Wait – what? My face won’t freeze this way. That’s a crock of shit.

That is such a note-perfect rendition of Murphy Brown, the woman after whom I’ve modeled my own character (such as it is) that there was no question about this decision. Well, maybe only one: what happens when Paige and Gemdiva go head to head? It’ll be comment section Thunderdome!

And now, to the imaginary swag. When we have a real budget, we’ll give away real swag, but in the meantime blackmailing celebrities doesn’t pay nearly as well as I was led to believe, so here we are. And here is our hypothetical award: a real (fierce) Yves Saint Laurent pantsuit. If Murphy had worn these more often and wash-’n-wear suits less often, Hilary Clinton would never have dared go out in public so frumpy; it’s true. It’s a FACT.

Like the fact one is at Sundance.

2010 Sundance Film Festival - Patron Circle Reception- Celebration of Filma

So duuuuuuude, we’re at Sundance. And my buddy here? His name is Bird Runningwater, which was totally gonna be my name at Burning Man until he showed up, but, like, what- where was I? No, no, this is WATER. W-A-T-T-U-R!
