Ha! Stately! Did you see what I did there? Well, of course you did, because you’re not dumb. I just love horrible puns. The lamer, the better. The louder I groan, the more I love you for it. (That’s what she said.)
One of my favorite professors in college loved lame puns, too. He’d always, always use some super-lame puns in class. Once, he got done telling us a really abominable one, and I couldn’t help it: I said “LAME” rather loudly as soon as he told the punchline.
He looked over to where I was sitting, a lowly freshman, and just cracked up, and apparently that relationship was forged right there and endured during my entire undergraduate career. I took about five math classes with Dr. Rich Wilders just because I loved him so much, and every single time he used a lame pun during any of his lectures, I’d say “LAME” just like before and the other students, the ones who didn’t know me, would look at me like, it was nice knowing you, crazy.
And then sometimes I’d zone out during class, and if Dr. Wilders told one of his horrible jokes with the lame puns and the punchline was met with silence, he’d yell, HUMA PAY ATTENTION.
:-P
We had such a healthy thing going, me and my professor.
I’ve called lots of things lame over the years, but I won’t soon be calling Michelle Obama’s lovely gray dress that.
It’s great! It gives me kind of a Posh Beckham vibe with the lack of sleeves, the structured fit, and the pencil skirt.
There are two dresses I found that kind of fit the bill here in terms of replicating this lovely look.
This one from Asos comes in at $84.99.
It’s got clean lines, a pencil skirt, interesting pleating up top, and it’s not quite structured, but the lines help a bit.
You could also go with this one from Dillards for $95.40.
Now, sure, the model looks like she just put a freshly baked apple pie on the chair that I just sat on, but if I didn’t buy a dress just because the woman wearing it was looking at me like I just sat in something, I wouldn’t own any dresses!
This dress has a neat, pulled together look, especially with that black belt, but I have to be honest, I like the one from Asos better. Pair it with black patent peep toes like these from Forever21, and you’ve got yourself an effortlessly chic look.
Not at all LAME.
(HUMA PAY ATTENTION.)
God, I can still hear his voice. :-P
