Reblogging Julia

All hail.

The Day of Our Lady is nearly upon us, and while I know nine year olds who are less exhuberant about their birthdays, far be it from me to deny the Pink Lady her one and only day in the limelight!  Plenty of positive parsing, with plentiful punctuation!!!!!!!

• While the dress is something the aforementioned nine year olds might wear on Halloween, it is certainly you.  [Ed. Note: Counterpoint - this pose shows the unfortunate consequences of the raised shoulders-arms-on-hip pose that is calculated to flatter the arms.  Julia, you are a thin girl with a great figure, but this pose is awkward, unnatural and unflattering.  That said, I see your purse and admire your commitment to it.]
• This one kind of looks like a Project Runway wrapping paper challenge, but it fits you well and…..uh……that is a better pose? [Ed. Note: Question marks do not a positive observation make.    Also, I would now LOVE to see the rejected couture dress].
• Pink!!!!!  Get This Party Started!!!!!!!.  I get it!  You like the color pink and you’re having a party and want it to get started as soon as possible!!!!!!  [Ed. Note: Those nine year olds?  They know that song, too.]
• This is a nice picture.  The expression on your face is oddly genuine.
• Thanks for the birthday montage?  [Ed. Note:  Methinks she got a very special present after the 22nd, and it rhymes with pose rob.]
• This is kind of the expression that comes to mind when imagining your bedroom demeanor.  [Ed. Note:  That is sort of a compliment, I guess.]
• Well, Ace of Base is Swedish, and they didn’t invade any sovereign countries.  [Ed. Note:  You’re reaching.]
• Maybe she prefers to promote her talent and not herself.  [Ed. Note: Yeah, you’re slipping here.]
• You look very happy, sweet and unaffected here.  [Ed. Note: Okay,now you are just phoning it in.]
• Here’s to a great party that I’m sure no one will crash, since you kept the details so discreet and under wraps.

Confidential to the party tipsters:  your confidences will always be maintained.   I love you all and will buy you shoes and purses the next time you are feeling down.
