The Fabulous Outfits of Johnny Weir

Alyssa: Before this, I wouldn't have believed that ANY man could pull off a sequined blazer.  Clearly, I was wrong.  4 out of 5.

Amy: Well, I suppose if anyone in the world COULD pull off a sequined blazer, it would be Johnny Weir. Either him or Alex Trebek. I'm going 5 out of 5 because it's just so sparkly.

Alyssa: I'd like to point out that Amy and I have met Alex Trebek, and he is nowhere near as much fabulous as J-Weir.

Alyssa: I can't get behind this one.  The color and the Chanel brooch remind me of the Simpsons episode where Marge finds a Chanel suit on sale.  She wore it better.  3 out of 5.

Amy: I give it a 4 out of 5 in the artistic pocketry category. More pockets mean more places to put your fab-U-lous, right?

Alyssa: This is so fantastic.  He looks like he just spent a day in Middleburg and won ALL THE PONIES.  Giddyup!  5 out of 5.

Amy: I like the rosette and its understated fabulosity. It says, "I could be wearing a tiara right now, but instead, I'm wearing a hot pink rosette. Deal with it." But, I'm gonna have to give it a 4 out of 5 because there aren't nearly enough sequins. Or pockets.

Alyssa: See that trash can he's standing next to?  That's where this outfit should go.  I'm assuming the bow tie used to be part of a Halloween costume, and he stole the pants from one of the women's curling teams.  1 out of 5.

Amy: I'm so confused by this outfit. Victorian Vampire on the top, someone's upholstered ottoman, on the bottom, middle-aged lady in the middle. I'm with Alyssa on this one. 1/5.

Alyssa: If anyone else threw some weeds and a perfectly hideous Chanel brooch in their hair, it'd be a disaster.  But not here!  4 out of 5.

Amy: I'm thinking of wearing my hair like this when I get married. I mean, my theme IS Chanel brooches, yellow berries, and Johnny Weir. Look on Pinterest if you don't believe me! Also, I'm jealous of his well-defined cheekbones. 5 out of 5.

Alyssa: Don't say anything, but Amy has been a total bridezilla with the whole brooches-berries-Weir theme.  She had us looking at invitations for HOURS just so we could pick ones that would "make Johnny proud."  It's getting a little out of hand, if you ask me.

Alyssa: This was my favorite--the tiara headband, the green jacket, the jeans.  He's the closest thing we have to royalty in America.  5 out of 5.

Amy: This one also has extra pockets. Green pockets. Where can I get some extra pockets? Are these a trend now? I can't rate this one, I have to go out and find some pockets NOW.

Alyssa:  This looks like he took a 1980's futon and made it in to a jacket.  1 out of 5.  (The score is even posted next to him.)

Amy: A 1980's futon from the American Southwest. Or the remnants from the Rorschach test textile factory. This jacket should take a clue from the sign on the door and EXIT. 1 out of 5.

Alyssa:  I strongly suspect that Johnny and Tara got totally coked out in a Sochi hotel room, and then "conceptualized" outfits.  "Today will be Grecian day"  they exlaimed! Props to her for not even trying to compete with that necklace.  5 out of 5.

Amy: I'm with Alyssa on this one. You can't go wrong with matching headbands. Matching gold braided Grecian headbands. I have to give it a 4 out of 5, though, because Johnny shared some of his fabulosity with Tara. He should keep it all. In his pockets.

Alyssa: This is what my hair looks like after working out for an hour, and the brooch is ugly.  But I do love the sweater.  It's like Banana Republic met the jewelry counter at Kohl's.  3 out of 5.

Amy: I can't even see his sweater, I am transfixed by his hair. He's wearing a sweater? His hair! All I see is a huge, black, swirly curl. 2 out of 5.

Alyssa:  I need his jacket.  And his makeup.  And his necklace.  It's almost like he's saying "it doesn't matter how you skate, peons.  Johnny Weir is the gold medalist here."  5 out of 5.

Amy: Wow. This one is like... Miami Vice meets Mr. T.If only he could have worked in some Rainbow Brite tights, GI Joe camouflage, or a My Little Pony mane. However,  I'll still give him a 5 out of 5 for channeling the '80s.

Alyssa:  This one is a total train wreck.  I feel like Bob Costas sewed this while he had his double eye infection.  0 out of 5.

Amy: There are so many pleats! Neck pleating, chest pleating, pants pleating! Johnny, I'm PLEATING with you to take this off! But, I'll give it a 1 out of 5 because you're totally rocking the smoldering look.

Alyssa: God bless you, Johnny Weir.  In an Olympics filled with injuries, stray dogs, and unfinished hotel rooms, you were a fabulous ray of sunshine.

Amy: A fabulous, fabulous ray of brooch-y, sequin-y, blazer-y sunshine. 5 out of 5.

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

New Year, Old Me

And, after a brief 5 year hiatus, we're back! For those of you who are new here, for a number of years I wrote a blog featuring an assortment of things I found interesting: the British Royal Family, sarcastic hot takes on award show fashion, travel, and (the reason I started it) to help me keep stay on track with eating healthier food. Recently, one of my doctors suggested that I start the blog back up and I thought it was a good idea for a few reasons: chief among them to help with some health goals, plus I'd like to use it as a way to stay connected with some colleagues that departed at work. By way of an understatement, 2023 was a smidge rough.   My dad got really sick in April, and after that, it was a slalom of the American healthcare system / in-home healthcare / nursing facilities / ambiguous loss & living grief .  Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the company I work for turned 24 and, well, sometimes 24 year old companies behave like 24 year old humans.  They...

Kate Middleton, Goofball

My new favorite K-Middy gif came out today.  She and William went for a walk during their day off in Australia, and she totally did this: Big Willy and Babykins (their nicknames for each other) have talked about Kate's sense of humor before in interviews.  Apparently she's funny and sarcastic--now we're more than just hair soul mates!  Below are some of my favorite non-posed Kate pics. They're probably watching horses.  So British of them. This is at the Olympics.  She seems concerned. I'd also like to point out that I'm jealous of how good her ponytail looks. It sounds like she's saying "OMG no way!" Man, I hope that's what she's talking about with the fancy church people at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee service. Again, I suspect ponies are involved here. If you watch interviews with her (and I do) she makes this face all the time.  I LOVE IT. Celebrities: they're just like us!  They hide behind their...
