Golden Geese Land in Oslo

Heh. You decide if the “golden goose” from the previous post referred to the United States being fleeced by Third World Countries or Lady M, wearing the golden fleece.

 

 

And look! NO BELTS!!

 

But how about the evening ensemble?

As you can see, the new lamp shade theme is going to be the next  big trend. Here we are on our hotel balcony, bestowing the royal wave on the little people in the street below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of Spanx…but no belt!!!

We wanted to give a bow to some local fashion icons, but  Bjork –world famous singer from Iceland -  was as close as we could get. Since her famous swan dress from the Academy Awards had served as inspiration for Lady M’s inaugural gown , we went with this ever popular look again for the Big Prize party.

Did we sweep these fish-eating Scandowegians off their feet tonight or what?

What are these bars?

Oh yes, they’ll be talking about these two golden geese for quite awhile to come.

The Golden Goose Has Landed

Here we are in Oslo! As you see, MO is wearing a lovely soft plum coat, and because it’s so cold here, we’ve replaced our signature bow with a ruffly scarf in a lighter shade of the same hue.

 

Here’s a better shot: It was still dark when we got here (I guess it almost always is this time of year) so the plum looks slightly blue, but trust me - plum. It’s symbolic.

Since we departed the Big White right after Raj’s party and a light dinner, we had to change our clothes in flight.

  Here we are leaving on Marine One, all bundled up because winter is ahead of schedule in D.C. too. Apparently global warming has gone on hiatus since BO’s inauguration. Some are saying Big Guy is responsible for that too. Maybe next year he will win a Nobel prize in Physics.

But back to Oslo. First there was an official “signing-in”. What a hoot! Neither BO or MO has had to sign for anything in ages.

Figures that BO is a lefty.

Lady M is looking quite regal today in a deep gray, draped front dress. And look! I put the belt near her natural waist. What do you think about this new approach to belts? We can’t get rid of them altogether because they are a Lady M signature, but now that people are starting to make fun of them in a few of the mainstream rags, I’m going to try to re-image them to an approximate middle and just claim she’s short-waisted.

 

Here’s a group of protestors we saw on our way to lunch. It looks to me like they booked a flight to the wrong city, Big Guy won’t be in Copenhagen until the end of the week. But since they’re here, I’ll just put in my 2 cents worth: Hey Red Squad! You’re right. And we also pay for everything else. So you may now go back to plotting the take over of the civilized world: brought to you exclusively by rich countries. (Haven’t you guys heard about the golden goose?) Oh, and nice suits. But at your next protest, you might want to try a uniform that looks a little more, shall we say, understated? It’s hard to be taken seriously when you’re dressed like a Norwegian clown posse.

Apparently there’s been some grumbling around here about Big Guy and Lady M shunning King Harold’s invitation to lunch today. But seriously, Marcus told us what they were serving and Lady M just put her foot down: no more smelly dead fish. Rhambo is the only one in the Administration that really seems to relish them. But the protocol “experts” are all a twitter again because every other Nobel Laureate – ever - has attended the ceremonial luncheon with the King. Apparently they don’t know that we’re all about CHANGE.

Besides, if we don’t go, there’s no chance for another one of those deep bows to another royal that the protocol “experts” also hate.

Copenhagen to WH: Stop Global Warming, Blow Out Those Candles.

For those of you who follow the Big White schedule, you’ve probably noted that we changed our original departure date for Copenhagen  from today, December 9th, to next week. No, we’re not boycotting the conference, are you kidding? And even if we had been planning to, now that Sarah said we should, we’re planning on staying an extra day. Besides, as Team-Obama biggie Larry Summers asked, what do girls know about science and economics any way? And need I remind you? We Won.

There have been more rumored reasons for our change of plans than Tiger has paramours. Let me waive off all the silly rumors, and let you in on the real reason for the delay.

First, it’s not because Big Guy got “wind'” of Joey B’s scheme to pack “fart cushions” in TOTUS’ travel case for a reprise of the joke he played on Al Gore when he gave his big Global Warming speech in the Senate. (Although it was rather funny when Al sat down on the whoopie cushion, and Joey goes “Whoa!  What was that? A barking spider? Did someone squeeze a mouse!” It really brought down the House.)

Second, it’s not due to FOX’s (we hate them) illegally obtained emails from the CRU team at East Anglia University demonstrating data manipulation, lies and fraud with respect to the so-called global warming data. Facts seldom inform our positions anyway.

Third: It’s not because celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson (Indian State Dinner chef!)spilled the beans on the Copenhagen menus when he was here (I told him not to mention anything about stinky little fish to Lady M. Did he listen? )

Fourth: There is no concern that BO is going to bow to royals again. As you can see, we dodged that bullet the last time we met with Danish Queen Margrethe and her husband. No one caught it on camera. Besides, Big Guy can’t think of one thing to apologize to Queen Margrethe for. On the contrary, he thinks she might owe him an apology: he’s not suffered rejection in any other world capital .

The actual reason for the change of plans is because today is Raj’s birthday. And believe me, Big Guy owes him big time for keeping TOTUS’ hard drives and monitors in peak operating condition for all the Big Reads and off-the-cuff remarks. So BO really didn’t want to miss the celebration, even though we’re just having leftover curry from the Indian State dinner. (The only thing worse than the organic food from Lady M’s garden are the recycled leftovers.) But Big Guy will probably just show up to fist bump Raj and tell him how fortunate he is to be participating in BO’s extraordinary, historic  presidency. After seeing if Raj wants any autographs for his family back in Gujarat, and thanking him for his small contributions to his unprecedented first year, BO will bug out: so the staff can party without being intimidated by his presence. Lady M and BO will dine in the private quarters on a simple dinner of little Kobe beef sliders and truffled fries. They need to keep up their strength: Health care, recession, global warming – there’s still a whole world out there that needs to be created or saved.

But happy birthday Raj! We couldn’t pull this off without you.

Victor,Victory,Victoria (Major Update)

I suppose you saw the new “Who’ll be the next Victoria’s Secret Model” winner. Goodness! This is supposed to be the American ideal?

  Kylie Bisutti, Victoria’s Secret Model Search winner

Please. She has nothing on Lady M.

MO has style:

 

 

…and grace:

   

and she also looks hot in her little black dress

Tall boots? We’ve got ‘em:

 

But I don’t see a single fashionable belt anywhere in Ms Bisutti’s wardrobe.

And about those, ahem, “natural” physical attributes. Once we usher in Obama-care, those bissutis  will no longer be readily available. So all you under-endowed wannabes out there: I suggest you brush up on your community organizing skills if you really want to land a good gig.

MAJOR ADDENDUM:

Reflect on this,

 you on private sector health care:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you on Obama-care: bitch!

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, I can do time-shifted trans-imaging too…

Ok, I’m back from the darkside. Don’t make me go there again.

Kennedy Center: Doo Wa’s and Hoo-ha’s.

Wow, what an evening! Better than the Grammys, expect no dirty dancing. For the occasion, Lady M pulled out all the stops.

We’re making progress: no more gowns reminiscent of WH draperies. We’ve moved on to lampshades.(and how do you like the handiwork of my newly installed wasp-waist drivers?)

You’ve probably heard about the winners of the 32nd Kennedy Center Honors: Mel Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Grace Bumbry (opera, people), Dave Brubeck and Robert De Niro. I can’t speak to the rest of the gang, but I have some insight into why Grace and Robert won – it’s mostly due to their sartorial tastes:

 

Robert De Niro and wife Grace Hightower

 

 

 

Robert De Niro in Raging Bull. The inspiration for many of Mo’s fashion accessories.

Grace Bumbry, like Lady M, has a very individual sense of style.

Although hers also serves a practical purpose: a portable projection chamber:

Big Guy had a lot of fun looking down on the little people.

Here is a shot of BO and his DooWa’s and here is a pic of MO without her hoo-ha’s:

But the night was magical, and peppered with huge celebrities.

Nancy and hubby, straight from Madame Tussaud’s

It’s almost enough to make you forget about health care and global warming, isn’t it?

Sunday in the Beltway

While Big Guy heads up to the Hill today to play kissy-face with Dems in hopes of persuading them to get his healthcare bill rammed down everyone’s throat passed in time for Christmas, Lady M will be working on her wardrobe for our trip across the pond. The options this time are simply breathtaking, but you’ll have to wait a bit on them, as I’m under strict orders to keep this under wraps.

But I wanted to check in just to let you know that Santa’s big shiny black belt was in no danger of being purloined the other night, as some of you feared.

So as you can see, MO wore her own Santa sash.  

 

 

which is one of her favorites:

 

 

Besides, look at the size of that pathetic Santa. Do you honestly think we could fit into his belt?
