Kors Light

Okay, we fell a little in love when we first saw the Persimmon Princess's mother, Joan.

Joan's the one with the deep voice.

We are outrageously jealous of the Duchess for having a Mama that looks like she's a total blast. We want to spend the day with her sipping gin, playing bridge and bitching about the neighbors.

It was cute how they dressed alike, wasn't it? Sort of a "first day of kindergarten" vibe. And when we say "cute," we of course mean "a little freaky." Fortunately, it was just for the show. We found a pic of them out on the town in their normal clothes:

LOL! I was wondering; Is she dressing like him or is he dressing like her? BTW, Mr. self-confessed "mommas boy" is supposed to be a big time designer. Why can't he design something else to wear? Every week it's black coat and black tee-shirt. And that's "fashion forward"? Finally, I can't recall the name of the ventriloquist act, but I remeber "they" were hysterical.

ROFL. That's Wayland Flowers and Madame, right? Very funny!
Michael Kors is just like his mother.

Some families pass recipies, jewels, and money down from generation to generation in an effort to better and advance new branches of the family tree. Well, it is offical, the Korr's have found comfort in passing down the old fashion myth that "if you want to look slim, black is your color". Maybe,they should just look into getting a family membership to 24hr Fitness and a color chart. Do you think the have the smarts to add some reflector tape(from the Macy's accessory wall, of course) to their evening wear to warn oncoming traffic that they are out and about?!?

Does this mean that Simon Cowell is somehow related to the Korrs or did he just read the same Reader's Digest article on "How to Dress to Conceal?

I would love to see a challenge where the contestants have to design outfits for the judges.

Hey Katiecoollady, hope you're enjoying Maine

I've looked at Michael Kors' clothes on his website, and when he accuses one of the designers of being dowdy/frumpy/matronly/plain/whatever, I just think "it takes one to know one." Seriously, his "designs" put me to sleep.

Bring back Kate Spade or Vera Wang!

Quite One,

Sadly, Waylon died of AIDS in 1988.

From http://www.glbtq.com/arts/flowers_w.html

"Throughout the 1970s, Wayland Flowers and "Madame" appeared frequently on television, as the hosts of Solid Gold, a weekly popular music show, and on the game show Hollywood Squares, where, after nearly a decade of guest appearances, they succeeded Paul Lynde, a gay comic as bitchy and queeny as "Madame," as the all-important "central square."

By the early 1980s, the puppet/human relationship had taken a strange turn in Flowers's career. "Madame" became the star of her own sitcom, Madame's Place, in which she played the lead role, interacting with the other actors as if she were human.

Flowers, ironically, remained completely out of sight, his function as "Madame"'s voice the only outward evidence of his presence. Indeed, she seemed to take on a life of her own, eclipsing Flowers until he became invisible--both literally and figuratively--behind her.

As a result of his invisibility, very little attention was drawn to his personal life, and thus it was a surprise to many when Flowers died in Hollywood on October 11, 1988, a victim of the AIDS epidemic. "Madame" was buried with him."

Wow, I did'nt know that about Wayland & Madame..thanks for posting it!

I loved them so much both on the Squares and on Match Game...she reminded me of Bret Sommers. I swear, they could be sisters! *LOL*

I too find Michael Kors clothing pathetic!

I think Madame and Lady Elaine Fairchild (from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood) were lesbian lovers...if not they should have been.

It's official. You two have built a blog that is my favorite stop for pure fun and a merciless brand of silliness. Hope you have rave worthy moms of your own ...

When Michael Kors first returned to PR after Vera Wang's stint as a judge, my darling fiance said "LOOK! Michael Coors is back!"
Bless his little heart...he's trying.

LOL. They do look alike. You can tell that Michael Kors is still a mommy's boy.

LOL. That is hilarious. I met Michael and his mother once. She is very nice, funny, and a total fag hag.

I think that Michael Kors is never necessarily trying to be edgy. I think he has an incredibly loyal roster of clientele, who like him because of the fact that he produces more basic and wearable fashions. His clothes are woman-friendly, the cut is perfect and every piece is very well made. Sometimes you want to wear something elegant and basic and I think he fits the bill.

Too funny. BTW, i agree with anonymous 5:54. i saw his last show and i can honestly say that i don't hate the man. Michael Kors has a niche, and he, for the most part, does it well. Not all women, however, want to wear "art designer" stuff.

BigAssBelle said...

oh my GOD!!!! Paul Lynde was GAY??????? YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!!

I honestly never ever thought about it, ever! I loved him as kid. I guess he, and not Ms. Stiver, my ultra-butch 7th grade art teacher, is the first gay person I ever "knew."

Kickass, not the innocent I thought I was.

Okay, enough said. GENTLEMEN: are you coming out this morning?? a bit early in NYC?

Anxiously awaiting another bit of snark to make my day . . .

THANK YOU! I like classics too, but his clothes up front seriously look like something you could buy at Target, with only slightly better workmanship and tailoring.

A lot of criticisms that he lobs at other designers are things he could easily apply to himself.

ROFL - you bitches! Funniest thing Ive seen this month. You boys coming to visit SF ever? I want to SO buy you a pitcher of martinis.

Too fuckin' funny!!!
I love Michael Kor's mother.

Oh lord she is the fairy god mother of my dreams. When I get old I want that leathery-from-exposure-out-in-the-Hamptons skin and those tri-focal glasses. I too want to dress for a funeral everyday when I turn 50. Best of all, being judgemental is no longer rude, but instead seen as "wisdom".
