IKEA No-shlag No-shlag's
A day at IKEA is fun if you can master the parking situation and the unique names. No, those aren't light bulbs they are keldenfelders.
It was crazy shoe day at IKEA.
Betty: This gal was super cute in her 60's black and white houndstooth dress with matching black tights. Her boots however were a yucky tan that frankly just didn't go. I would suggest these as an option:
Wilma: Oh, good choice. Honestly, any boot in black would have been better. I love camel color boots but not with black & white check. Amazingly enough, I don't think her husband even noticed!
Betty: Tisk Tisk Tisk, the black skirt with the blue athletic tights were terrible enough and then add the Nanook of the North Let's-Trek-Alaska boots and I want to hurl. (Girlfriend, Carrie Bradshaw you ain't.) I wouldn't ever dare to do the black/blue tight combo - but if I was forced to I might soften the look with ballet slippers:
Wilma: It's as if we've gone back in time to the 80's. The 80's were not good. I'm sorry, I can't right any more, I'm having some terrible flashbacks that involve off the shoulder sweatshirts a la Flashdance and neon.
Betty: This one is a little bit harder to see, but these are the appropriately named "UGG"s paired with a blue earthgirl skirt. I think she forgot that with the earthy clothes Burkenstocks are the preferred footwear. I might have chosen these shoes instead:
Wilma: Honestly, only women of a certain age should wear Uggs. Trust me, she was not in the appropriate demographic.

More Oscar Madness
Betty: Ok, David a smile and some skin color would go A LONG WAY.
Wilma: Apparently, getting nominated for an Oscar just isn't enough.
Betty: This dress looks like a one hour challenge from Bravo's Project Runway.
Wilma: You're thinking Santino, right? She's all one color! I hate that look. I'm sure it's the "in" thing, but I think it washes her out.
Betty: Lord love a duck, honey your hair looks like crap.
Wilma: And those shoes! The dress doesn't look so good either.
Betty: Careful she doesn't wear that dress to the White House, the Veep might try to shoot the bird on her shoulder.
Wilma: Ugh. So disappointed. On the upside, she wore a color!
Betty: Tim, Tim, Tim. Who does YOUR hair? Helen Bonham Carter? I like the little skull and cross-bones tie - but enough already, you like death.
Wilma: He's trying to top the Wallace and Gromit guys.
The Worst Hair, EVER
Wilma: This man is a professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers. He makes good money. With that good money I would expect a decent haircut. Imagine if you will, what he looks like after he's been playing for about 10 minutes.
Betty: I had to look up Chris Kaman, as I’d never heard of him before. His NBA.com bio picture makes me think of the stoned out thugs from high school. Dude… you’re rich, get yourself to SuperCuts.

2006 Oscars
Betty: I know she's the darling this year, but this dress looks like mustard. Sory - I hate this look on Scarlet Johanson and I don't love it on you.
Wilma: Find me a person who looks good in mustard! Anyone! I don't think it's possible.
Betty: Golly, he just gets more and more handsome.
Wilma: Smirk.
