"She makes even the wearing of a t-shirt look uncomfortable."

"If we had to guess what she’s thinking in these shots, it’s...

“Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.”

Worse that that, it's a old LeSabre. Maybe should thought it was French.; 8/5/16, 10:54 AM

Unknown said...: i love everything about that look except for the hair.; 8/5/16, 11:00 AM
cubanbob said...: I wonder if what she is wearing is comped? Otherwise she probably spent a lot of money to look very cheap. She is starting to age and she ought to consider changing her look to something that doesn't make her look a little desperate for attention.; 8/5/16, 11:04 AM

Plus that's not a cool place to pretend to be from.

Much better to find a mail box on Montana Ave in Santa Monica.; 8/5/16, 11:14 AM

Kathryn51 said...: Professor Ann, a few days ago, a poster encouraged you to retire and you asked them for their reasoning. Don't know if they ever responded, but my immediate thought was that if you retired, you would have the time to post on a wider range of topics including travel, fashion, etc. (as you have done this summer). Re: fashion, I was thinking of the cute post several years ago of yellow shoes with red socks (or was it red shoes with yellow socks?). I WAS NOT thinking of anything relating to Kim K.

So, maybe you shouldn't retire.; 8/5/16, 11:57 AM

FullMoon said...: I intentionally avoid Kardasian stuff, just because. Still, cannot find reason to criticize her looks. Have to give the family credit for becoming rich with no apparent talent other than self promotion. And, I guess Kim is the leader who led the rest to fame and fortune?; 8/5/16, 12:28 PM

I'm bragging: I don't know what a Kardasian looks like, unless the Wheaties guy is one of 'em. And he was adopted or something...?; 8/5/16, 12:34 PM

I suppose you are right. The shameless have no sense of shame or propiety. Still she should stop trying to compete with her 15 year younger sisters is what passes for young hip looks today. It just doesn't work.; 8/5/16, 12:37 PM
Paddy O said...: "Have to give the family credit for becoming rich with no apparent talent other than self promotion."

I thought the wealth came from a very successful defense attorney patriarch who, among other things, was part of the OJ Simpson defense team. He died in 2003. Then I looked him up and learned his parents ran what at one time was the largest meat packing plant in Los Angeles. They left their fortune to him, which he passed onwards.

The media empire came from the reality show, of course, but it started because the wealth was already there. Meat-packing meets the media.; 8/5/16, 12:47 PM

Knew dad left a bundle, didn't know about meat packing.Is it still functioning? Still give credit even to rich kids who make it. Personally do not see any value to their "product".; 8/5/16, 12:57 PM
Paul Snively said...: Comanche Voter: A bit of a chunky monkey.

You know she's Armenian, right?

It is a never-ending source of wonder to this poor small-town Indiana white boy how people seem to fail to understand that, yes, your ethnicity matters to your physiology. That is, there really are entire ethnicities that tend to be "built for cold weather." And if, as a straight guy, you tend to believe women are supposed to have curves, some of these ethnicities might tend to have women who seem more attractive to you than others.; 8/5/16, 1:18 PM

Car shaming! I have a Buick leSabre. It's a good car. Fuck off.

This blog needs to get back to more substantive issues. Apparently no kotex on the sidewalk today.; 8/5/16, 1:44 PM
Rocketeer said...: Car shaming! I have a Buick leSabre. It's a good car. Fuck off.

I'd say the same right back at you, but then you're driving a LeSabre and think it's a good car so it seems like piling on.; 8/5/16, 1:55 PM
David said...: I give her immense credit for being able to walk in those shoes. It can't be easy.

And the idea that she is past her prime looks-wise? Please. She's delicious.

The outfit is absurd, but absurd is a statement, and in that sense she pulls it off.; 8/5/16, 2:07 PM

Comanche Voter said...: Ah Paul Snively---I'm aware of the built for cold weather aka built for comfort and the built for speed dichotomy. That was around in my early college days way back in the way back. So long ago in fact that I had to ride a buffalo to school because we didn't have Chevrolets.

As for the Kardashians being Armenian, my Los Angeles suburb is 44 per cent Armenian--in fact we have the second largest population of Armenians living in a single city in the world--second only to Yerevan.

I would not go fat shaming Armenian physiology. I've seen too many Armenian women "built for speed" to accept that comment. But the Kardashian women may not be blessed with those genetic markers. So chunky monkey it is.; 8/5/16, 4:17 PM

Taking the bison by the horns, eh? :-D

I would not go fat shaming Armenian physiology. I've seen too many Armenian women "built for speed" to accept that comment.

Among Los Angeles Armenians, I'm not terribly surprised. I'm not suggesting biology is destiny here.

But the Kardashian women may not be blessed with those genetic markers.

It's not obvious that "skinny" is better, genetically speaking, and aesthetically speaking it's just a statement of preference.

So chunky monkey it is.

So much for "not fat-shaming Armenian physiology."; 8/5/16, 5:48 PM
Paul Snively said...: Rick Turley: Went to high school with a Dave Snively in the early 70's in central Indiana.

There are only a couple of tens of thousands of us Snivelys in the United States, and we're "overrepresented," if you can use that word for such a small group, in central and southern Indiana, where my Swiss/German forebears tended to settle, or rather, that's about as far west as we got. Famous-ish relatives include John A. Snively ("Snively was known to be outspoken and gruff in his business dealings, but was also known as a humanitarian." Yep, that sounds like us!) and Milton Snavely Hershey (all Snivelys, Snavelys, and Shivelys are related; they all are anglicizations of the Swiss "Schnabel"). In my school days, there was another guy in my class named Phil Shively. Paul Snively and Phil Shively. We had a lot of fun with that.; 8/5/16, 5:57 PM
