The Duggars do not have Dinomania*
First of all, I thought the little pre-show about the preparation of the wedding was kind of cute even if it was a little annoying. I felt really bad for Anna when I saw her home. It makes me feel better knowing that now she lives in the old Duggar home in Arkansas now. But the whole chaperone thing is just so lame. I love that they assign Josh's sisters to chaperone-the parents are too busy having sex all the time to chaperone anything.
Anyway, here are my top five memorable moments from the awesomeness that was "A Very Duggar Wedding" (and the episode preceding it).
4) Josh stepping on Anna's dress. The train came off the back of the dress and one the 15 Duggar girls sewed it on in a jiffy and saved the day. That's what happens when you see your husband before the wedding on the day of the wedding. It's bad luck. Don't do it. I can't believe they did everything else SO Uber-traditional and couldn't wait to see each other the day of the wedding because it didn't take place until 6 or 7 in the evening. You've waited this long to kiss. Is it really that important to see each other so you can give each other side hugs and hold hands? I'm certainly not a Duggar, but I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to weddings, and waited to see Mr. Bunny until I was walking down the aisle. I'm so glad I waited, because this was the look on his face. How cute is that?
3) Awkward man to man talk between Jim Bob and Josh. The book and cd cracked me up and I just couldn't get over the fact that this is the first time they've talked about "the birds and the bees". Like, I know that they are super conservative, but wouldn't the kids have figured some of this stuff out considering their parents have 18 kids? I also thoroughly enjoyed how Jim Bob described sex as being "like Legos." I think we know why Michelle can't resist the man; he's such a romantic! Swoon.
2) Anna's hair. All of the girls' hair. We need an intervention. Someone needs to talk to them about the dangers of hair spray and home perms. But couldn't Anna have straightened her hair for the wedding at least? Or maybe she could have gone crazy and put her hair all the way up? I must have missed the passage in the Bible stating that women must wear their hair half up.
1) The entire last five minutes of the show were pure genius. The vows were really creepy and they had all this stuff about how they would have as many children as God intended and wouldn't interfere with nature. Do they really need to talk about that in church? Gross. I haven't heard anything about them being pregnant yet, but I'm sure it's coming.
Okay, sidebar:here's the thing--at least one of the Duggars will most likely have a fertility problem--purely based on statistics; 12 percent of women have problems getting pregnant; with 18 children all getting married and trying to have kids, chances are, at least one of them would have problems. I wonder if their vow not to mess with what God intended extends to that as well? Just out of curiosity, I wonder if they think that people who use fertility treatments to get pregnant (like that hooker Kate Gosselin) are sinners; and furthermore, if they would feel that way if they themselves could not have kids. I myself think there is nothing wrong with fertility treatments, but then again, I'm a sinner who believes in birth control. Getting off soapbox now.
I nearly died when Josh sang the Loyalty song to her. I mean, don't get me wrong, I thought it was sweet and kind of Uncle Jesse of him to sing to his wife at the wedding (although I think I would have vomited if the idea had been brought up for my own wedding) but he can't sing. And that song stinks. Then, Jim Bob and Michelle and Anna's parents (who I'm sorry, are just gross and make Jim Bob and Michelle look like the Cleavers) get up on the stage and surround the couple. Jim Bob takes the microphone and talks about how Anna and Josh have never kissed and have stayed pure. Then he is the one who says "Josh, you may kiss your bride."
Okay, I'm going to pull a Zack Morris and say "Time Out!" WTF? The preacher wasn't sufficient? Your Dad had to give your permission? I'm sufficiently grossed out now and I haven't even seen you two kiss.
So then, they kiss. And it's not a bad kiss-it's not a peck. I mean, you don't see tongue or anything (thank God) but it was a nice kiss. Then they went to the reception where there is "No booze, no dancing*, just a good time". Um....that doesn't sound like a good time to me. That's the best part of the reception. The dancing and the drinking. Preferably open bar, but I'm not mad at you if you can't afford it--but for the love of God, have a cash bar. Now, my whole family is Baptist (in fact, I consider myself to be a Baptist) and I went to Baylor my freshman year of college, so trust me, I've heard my fair share about the evils of dancing and drinking. And here is what I have to say about that:
"Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp." -- Psalm 149:3
"You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate,that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man,oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man's heart." --Psalm 104:14-15
Sounds like Jesus is still my Homeboy even if I drink. He just doesn't want me to get wasted, and I have to agree with him on that.
Anywho,they eat their chicken salad sandwiches and make their way back to the hotel. The camera crew captures them going through the hotel doors after they pull up in the car which the family had decorated/demolished. They act like cousin Amy is such a sinner--I would have drawn penises and boobs all over that car. Speaking of penises and boobs, when Josh and Anna pulled up in the car, they were listening to the how to have sex cd. LOL.
So, in closing, this man, to and I have agree with him there.span>
I wonder how his parents feel about that?
Me and Mer have decided to send in a show idea to TLC-have normal people like us come stay with the Duggars for the weekend. We can corrupt the kids with tales of shopping for brand-new items (we don't buy used and save the rest like the Duggars; I think between the two of us, we could feed a small country with our shoe budget) and they can teach us how to make Tater-Tot Casserole. It sounds like a winning formula to me.
*So over the weekend, at Mer's birthday party we played a game called Balderdash. If you haven't played it, you have to come up with a legitimate sounding definition for different rare words. Well, the first rare word we got was Dinomania. And Dinomania is defined as an urge to dance. This is my new favorite word, and I would definitely say that I consistently have dinomania. Unfortunately, the Duggars do not have Dinomania. This makes me sad for them.
But at least Josh and Anna are having sex.
Have a great day!

My Favorite Things Monday: Website
You say: "She looks like a Stepford Wife after escaping across the cornfield." We say: But more drunk, amirite?
You say: "Add me to the list of people that loved it. She kind of looked like she fucked in a wind tunnel on the way to the awards." We say: Um, see number one?
You say: "I liked it! It's totally 1963 office party after a half hour in the closet with a junior copywriter." We say: Bingo! People will be flocking to salons to get the "Pete Campbell special."

Michael McDonald is Friday's Fun Fearless MALE!
My best friend Mer also loves Michael McDonald. It is one of the many things we have in common. I love that we sing Michael McDonald songs together. I love that she gave me a Michael McDonald Christmas ornament that she decoupaged herself. Wednesday was her birthday and we had fun going out to dinner and doing Michael McDonald impressions. So in honor of her birthday, Michael McDonald is today's Fun Fearless Male.
Our love for Michael McDonald is one of those things unique things about our friendship-like our love for Karen Carpenter or our unfortunate inability to whistle.
Michael was born in St Louis, Mo is 1952. In his early career he worked with Steely Dan and the dubious Doobie Brothers. Then he went out and had a very successful solo career singing blue-eyed soul and performing in commercials for long-distance phone service. Our hero is the original regulator! He has been married to singer Amy Holland since 1983. M squared lives in Tennessee with his family. Have I mentioned that we are friends with the original Eminem's daughter on MySpace? Her name is Scarlet and she's awesome. I admit, it IS a little stalkerish that we befriended her on Myspace, but she could have denied us if she wanted to.
Anywho, Meredith called me yesterday to let me know that her friend's boyfriend knows Michael Mcdonald and has his telephone number. I nearly died. We've got to call him and do our impressions for him! I'm sure he would be honored.
Let's give it up for Michael McDonald, Friday's Fun Fearless Male!
Have a great weekend!

I'm going to paint my front door red and change my name to Elizabeth Arden!
Good God, woman! You are so tall and skinny and beautiful and you're walking around with Brad Pitt. Why do you insist on wearing your hair on the side of your head like some kind of half-assed homage to Princess Leia? And the suit is a little too granny if you ask me. She's much younger than Brad, but she's making herself look about 15 years too old for him with this look. Next!
This is what I was talking about with the whole undergarments thing. I love Marisa Tomei, but can't she afford a good bra? I mean, I know she probably didn't get paid much to play a stripper in The Wrestler, but the residual checks from My Cousin Vinny must be pretty nice.Words of advice: Push-up bra. Lift and separate. Give it a try!
By now you probably know my feelings on Katie Holmes and her ill-fated attempts to recapture her youth and/or start a trend (if not, read this). And while I appreciate the awesomeness of her Blue Steel pose, I will never condone wearing shorts with a scarf and/or stirruped tights. It's just not kosher.
As if I didn't already have enough reasons to hate Miley, she came out of the house looking like this. Perhaps she is taking style tips from Katie, but trying to funk them up like the hip teenager she is? Everything is wrong here-hate the color of the boots, hate the look of the boot, hate the holey tights, hate her shirt, hate the skirt, hate her scraggly hair. And I can honestly say that if somebody else who didn't annoy me as much wore the same thing I would feel the same way. Oh, Renee. This could have been great. I love it from the knee down! But goodness gracious. That hair. The yucky see-through bodice and bad neckline. The too-tight top of the skirt. This was a bad idea. Go back to the boring beige Caroline Herrera dresses.
Drew, you know I love you more than my luggage! But that hair-do is a definite don't. I really like your dress, but this whole look is just a little too cotton candy and hairspray for me. Take it from a Texas Girl, the higher your hair is, the closer God comes to blaming you for the hole in the ozone layer. Oh, and by the way...
Turn to your buddy Cameron and tell her "Get your roots done!" Then turn around and tell Jay-Z and Beyonce to pretend like they aren't bored to tears. Thanks Josie Grossie!
I'd rather walk on my lips than talk bad about somebody, but this is a bad look for Anne Hathaway. She's such a beautiful girl; one of Friday's Fun Fearless females and a very talented actress. I think she would benefit from learning what Mr. Bunny calls the KISS theory-KISS stands for Keep It Simple, Stupid. That's all you have to do Anne.
Carrie couldn't look more like Barbie if she tried. Her extensions look like they came from the Jessica Simpson collection, which I'm assuming wasn't the look she was going for since they seem to hate each other because of stupid Tony Romo. But I digress-you're beautiful Carrie. Don't try so hard.
Now we enter the gold lamé portion of the blog.
They should really change the name of the material to lame. That little accent mark is so freaking pretentious, and lame is a much better word for this. I have a severe reaction to this dress. I think I got hives the first time I saw it. It's just so tacky. It reminds me of something a performer on a cruise would wear. And the neckline seems desperate, not sexy. But JLo always gives good face, so her makeup and hair looked fierce, even if the hair is a little severe. Oh, Glenn. Shopping in the MOB section again, I see. I've never forgiven you for boiling that bunny in Fatal Attraction. This just gives me another reason to dislike you.
Now don't go thinking I forgot about the fellas. They are some of the most horrifying offenders. My goodness. This is really bad. I hate mullets. They look so ridiculous and dated and make men look much older than they are. This is not a good look for Kanye. I'm not even going to comment on the leather gloves.
Joaquin Phoenix: This is your second time appearing on my blog in less than a week. You look more like a homeless person than the homeless people I pass every day on my way to work. Please, take some time off and go relax away from the cameras for awhile. Get your head on straight. And cut the beard.
That is all for now.
What do you think? What do you think were the worst fashion faux pas of the last couple of months?
And I'll give you bonus points if you can name the movie that I've quoted a billion times in this blog rant!
Have a great day!
Love,
