Aretha’s New Hat

Thembi Ford 3 December 2009 18 Comments

Oh, Aretha. I love you for your participation in the phenomenon of black women and hat-wearing. However, I can’t help but think that if it’s cold enough to stick your head through a fur muff, it makes no sense to have your ample breasts exposed while doing so. You’re either cold or you’re hot – which is it? Also, there comes a point where fur just makes big folks look like Jim Henson monsters – say Snuffalupagus or Bluto from Labyrinth. Besides, we don’t want the tabloids to pick up on this and start the rumor that you’ve been eaten by a grizzly bear and insist that they have live photos of it, now do we? Just a thought.

I’d also like to add that we as a society need to stop swaddling ourselves. Between this and the Snuggie I can’t help but think it’s time to seek alternative means of comfort.

    I see that the shoes are masked by the poinsettias. As I stated before, them long titties are the real story, they need to be masked as well! Too much of her business is out in the street.

    [...] it out here. Because it makes no sense. I’m not gonna say you look like a Jim Henson monster (I’ll leave that to my friend Thembi), but I’ll just say this — we both know you can look amazing and that didn’t [...]

    ALL of that fur and yet approximately a foot and a half of her monster chest is exposed. Can’t be that cold.

    When she dropped the red umbrella (for dramatical purposes?), I was on the floor when I noticed what was underneath. I had to beg my father not to haunt me last night, for laughing at his WOMAN.

    I am not able with Ms. Aretha. I really can’t.

    wow. how many chinchillas had to die for that coat/scarf-hat? 100? 1 million?

    I think Aretha does this on purpose (at least i HOPE she does), otherwise she needs to be committed (she is OBVIOUSLY fashionably ill)

    If folks are so worried about how many animals died for her coat, I’d hope they aren’t eating animals. A chinchilla has no more a right to life than a chicken or a cow.

    Ok, not directly related to this post, but I think “Wost Celebrity Endorsements” has guest blog potential!

    This pic is actually an improvement because I have seen shots of Aretha and her titties hanging out that are jaw droppingly horrific.
