Well if she is not, then why does she know so much about fashion, hmm? Simon Doonan (window dresser; homosexual; short) meets the First Lady for White House holiday decorating: "Her long-standing interest in style makes the process easy: She likes the 'softer, more Romeo Gigli colors.' She agrees with my suggestion that we should use 'a Lanvin-ish antique-looking glitter' instead of anything too sparkly. While Mrs. Obama loves the idea of 'the Wish Tree,' an interactive piece created by a Hoboken-based company named Cardboard Design, her most enthusiastic response is reserved for the 800 recycled silver balls that are proposed for the monumental Blue Room Tree. Together we decide that decoupage, rather than painting, is the way to go." Then Doonan lays into that nice man, Andrew Breitbart, who runs that nice website for conservatives. Related: enjoy all this further fodder, teabaggers!

I can tell by the orgasmic frequency of the explanation points that the Obama's have secured Simon Doonan's vote in '12.
The Breitbart mob is cray cray. I wrastled with them myself a while back and decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

I wanted to dislike Mr. Doonan because his prose is a little precious.
[Reads article.]
But goshdarnit if I don't now feel like hugging him, buying him a drink, and going out to straight-bash Breitbart for being such a disingenuous short-sighted bully.
I'm convinced Simon Doonan has magical powers and is some sort of elf (a fabulous elf, obv).
I mean really. And when is decoupage not the way to go???
NEVER NOT; that's when.
Sooooo... whatcha up to tonight? Wanna come over and drink chablis from a box, watch Hoarders and huff decoupage paste?
It must be Tuesday!
He had me at "I would rather jump in a river of boiling snot than wear a pair of Crocs."
I believe that quote came at the height of Crocs madness.
Yes, he is a fabulous elf and he lives in a magical wonderland ... wait, I'm sorry, apparently the term he uses is "palatial gay fantasia". I say tomayto-tomahto, considering the decor includes, lessee here ... a burlap bust of Napoleon, garden gnomes under the furniture, and a room-dominating giant black statue of a foot. Oh, and a "paisley-patterned Ping-pong table," which I assume he purchased just for the alliteration value.
I know he's an intelligent adult and all, but it makes me mad that someone would pick on Simon Doonan like that. I seem to always catch him making a nice comment where it would be so normal for me to make a really nasty one. He's better than me, treat him accordingly.
I love Simon Doonan's whole being and thought this was sweet til the last paragraph; obvs we all, Doonan included, at this point have one foot in Group One (doers) and one foot in Group Two (bloggers-abouters). I wish he'd steered clear of a Siegelian "eff fat bloggers" wrapup and stuck with a more specific "eff Breitbart."
omg!
Simon is just a footsolider in the war against being squat, yall. I just found out he is married to the other guy! WHAT?! How long has this been common knowledge? He is the one I dislike.
Huh? What? How can you hate anyone who makes these?

His husband is cuuuuuuuute I know!
Ok. OH-KAY. These are delightful. TRUE, but there is only so much WHIMISCAL POTTERY J. Adler can make to atone for his tenure on Top Design. I can only forgive so much, Emily.
See you later, decora--oh man, I can't even write it.
Anyone have a link to the Hedda Lettuce blog? (Too lazy to Google, etc.) Wish there was video...
These comments are why I lurk.
I have no idea WTF you are talking about. And I swear I'm not retarded.
But you seem sweet.
