Inspired by this photo of superstar Franni Franken on the day that her husband was sworn in as US Senator from Minnesota, I went searching for a picture of vintage Vera table linens or 30 year old Marimekko fabric designs so that I could make some reference to "relics of the 70s". I mean - come on, right? First the sofa upholstery suit and now the Finnish textile homage. She's one to watch to watch, that's for sure.
But before I could really develop the snark, then I got lost on the FinnStyle website.
Whatever happened to all my cool stuff? That's what I want to know. Now there's an empty hole where my past used to be. I guess I could start recreating it with this mug. Hey, look - there's the sheets I used to make curtains for my son's baby room in the 80s.
Now I lost my point. I guess my point is that I am Franni and Franni is me. What a revolting development.
Oh yeah - here was where I was heading - Frankenstyle. What the hell kind of thing is that going on with Senator Al's hair? I thought he said he was going to give up comedy.
That is the result of kissing Harry Reid's Ass!!!!

Franni. Her maiden name wouldn't be Blücher by any chance? She resembles a certain Frau by that name - one who also fell for a Franken.

Look, I'm not saying that she's a supermodel, I'm just saying that I don't find her outfits embarrassingly hard to look at. They generally don't include clashing colors, over-use of animal print, or inappropriate flashes of lingerie, so I'm calling it a win.
I'm also saying that if I owned the Marimekko Ruusupuu Umbrella, I might weep with joy. Wow. Rosebush, indeed.

She's a relic, apparently. Kinda weird because I'm sure he considers himself cutting edge humor and all that. She's Betty Draper, only without the taste.
He's no Don Draper. Let's just be clear on that. The hair thing . . . it's not helmet hair, or hat hair. I think it's g-force whirlygig testing-machine hair.
Also, do notice, he has an extremely small cranial capacity. My Mom has me noticing cranial capacity in public figures now. She's fascinated by it and now she's got me analyzing it.

That is called very very thick hair and little insight (on his part) on what to do with it.
Franni I can live with. Very low-key, very background.
And dogette? Phrenology went out a hundred years ago. :-) Just sayin'.
