Emmett & Emily... Is There a Connection?

OK, I think I'm on to something here. I spotted an interesting connection tonight while watching the women's ice skating short program... here it is: Emily Hughes has hired "auf wiedersehn'ed" fashion designer, Emmett (of Project Runway) to be her costume designer. Maybe it's just the color, but I think I see a link. If you look closely at the first picture, you will see that this is the episode where Emmett was OUT. (I must admit, rightly so.) Sadly, I believe one of the judges might have called his outfit "vulgar" -- and frankly, the only saving grace to Emily Hughes' very dated and rather frumpy garment was the fact that she was at least wearing white skates. She did perform admirably, but I just want to put her in a pantsuit, such as that worn by smart little Irina Slutskaya (who has the same body type). She looked fabulous! Check the pics:

THE EMMETT & EMILY CONNECTION:

To be honest, I think Emmett's "out" dress is actually more attractive than the real deal. Can you even imagine what Michael Kors might have said about the dress on the right?

I AM SO LOVING THE PANTSUIT!

Any "muscle-y" girl should really wear the pantsuit.

I must finally state that if I were a lesbian, I would be marrying Sasha Cohen. Even not being a lesbian, I love her. Not only did she come in first, but she looked great! She might be a diva, but she rules. It's really too bad that Johnny Weir is so flamboyantly effeminate as they might have made an interesting couple...

Waving from the "score booth" -- my mom is annoyed by all the little kissies and hugs and baby waves that go on prior to the release of the scores. She thinks it's very fake.

OK, that's my commentary for tonight. On a final note, I do promise to update on my trip to Phoenix last weekend, but I will leave you with a final image of my glorious Saturday morning, picking fresh tangerines off the tree in my cousin's back yard. Oh, my goodness, is it really February? Are you scraping ice off of your car windows and shoveling snow and seeing your breath while shivering in wind chills below zero? I'm soooo sorry... and here I am picking citrus in Arizona (OK, yes, I am dorky enough to take an "artistic" photo of my own hand selecting fruit):


Good night!
