I was watching People’s Choice Awards tonight — not because I’m into that award show but because Lizzo was being presented with an award and was sharing it with a few "special guests" one of which was Twin 1.
At any rate, Heidi Klum was a presenter and I thought the dress she was wearing looked a lot like Yannik’s style — Yannik being the contestant I’d pegged to win "Making the Cut" this last season.
Newsflash — Yannik did win, which makes the third season the designer I was rooting for actually won.
Why I can’t transfer that into picking winning lottery numbers, is a mystery.
So, anyway, I quickly google "Who did Heidi wear to the People’s Choice Awards" and got "Maison Blanche by Yannik Zamboni".
Do I know my designers or what.

Probably not to everyone's taste, but I like it.
Lizzo — there to accept the award of People’s Champion 2022, looked fabulous.
No idea who she was wearing.
Instead of accepting the award for herself, she wanted to "Champion marginalized voices" — share the spotlight with 17 Activists, one of which was Twin 1 (wearing designer Perry Meeks who did her Pride outfit).
Also, among the 17 were Maggie Mireles and Tamika Palmer.
Maggie is the sister of teacher Eva Mireles — one of the two teachers gunned down, along with 19 children, at Robb Elementary School, Uvalde, Tx. Maggie is now fighting for gun control.
Good luck with that.
Tamika Palmer is the mother of Brianna Taylor who was murdered in her bed by cops who falsified a search warrant and later lied to cover it up. Tamika fought for two years and finally got federal charges brought against those cops after local authorities failed to charge them.
After Lizzo did her emotional presentation of the 17 activists, there was no further need for me to watch the Awards show, so I tuned out, checked the Georgia elections and learned Hershel Walker lost to Warnock.
What a relief, and not for the reason you might think.
My relief has nothing to do with majority this, majority that — which I’m not politically savvy enough to understand, but because of the embarrassment.
The weeks and months of seeing Walker being paraded around by the GQP with his being — as Dave Chappelle put it "Observably Stupid", was just such an embarrassment.
It almost felt like the GQP was making fun of us People of Color, showing how ignorant some of us can be and how they like us like that — obedient and observably stupid.
Hopefully Walker lost the runoff because others saw what I saw, were embarrassed as I was, and felt sorry for his being made such a fool of.
Twin 1 looks lovely! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThanks. I could tell she was nervous though.
Delete"Observably Stupid" is an understatement. And it doesn't say much for the 49% of voters that voted for him.
ReplyDeleteTotally!
DeleteLizzo looks and IS spectacular. She’s my kind of celebrity. So is Twin 1. I want to see who she wore -- well, I want to see her at the event.
ReplyDeleteI woke up and read the news this morning and was also hugely relieved. Tragically and ignorantly, any minority politician ends up representing that entire minority. They have to be twice as good at least than their peers. Walker is an embarrassment to us all and was clearly being used by those thugs.
Twin 1 a "celebrity"??? It's funny to hear her described as such. It's a dangerous job that she does, and I wish she'd not be the one doing it. I don't understand HOW the GQP couldn't see using Hershel was an insult and made them look even worse than they are.
DeleteKudos to Lizzo. Love that lady. Hershel Walker....what can i say that hasn't been said (many) times before. An embarrassment not only to people of color...but to humanity. He can barely put a sentence together. You made a great point about the GQP parading him around for nefarious purposes. But step aside, Hershel....the Orange Anus Thing 45 wins all the prizes. The lowest of the low...that orange speck at the bottom of the barrel.
ReplyDeleteParanormal John
At least now, because of so many GQP losses and the guilty verdict on his organization, we don't have to worry about No. 45 ever being prez again. He may yet find a way to run but can't possibly win the votes.
DeleteI meant to add a big congrats to your daughter. Wow.
DeleteThanks 🙂
DeleteIsn’t Lizzo great? What a wonderful gesture to recognize your daughter and others. I also have felt so bad about the treatment of Herschel Walker. No consideration for him as a human being was given. He was a pawn used by Rethugs with evil agendas. He is still a hero to many for his glorious football days at UGA but has been treated so poorly, there’s no excuse for it.
ReplyDeleteI fear Hershel's previous Hero status is now tainted and all anyone will see him as in future is someone to be pitied.
DeleteWonderful of Lizzo to shine the spotlight on grassroots activists working to improve the world, including your daughter!
ReplyDeleteTwin 1 says Lizzo has been supported of many such groups for a long time. She just doesn't flaunt it for publicity as so many stars do.
DeleteTwin 1 looks lovely and it's great her work is being acknowledged.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongrats in order to Twin 1 for the recognition for her Activism. You do know your Designers. Heidi can pull off most Styles, even those I'm not fond of, she's pretty fearless with Fashion and is like a Walking Hangar so almost anything looks better on her than the Garden Variety person wearing it. Have to Respect a Woman so comfortable in her own Skin that she'll wear whatever she wants and Rock it.
ReplyDeleteStaying slim and trim so one can wear whatever is waaay too much work for me.
