American Idol is nearing the end. Things are culminating into one giant battle of the Davids. Oh…and Paula Abdul showing her love of purple. Hm.
I am so, so mixed on this, dahlings. First off, a billion props to Paula for rocking out this light and misty purple. Pretty much the only purple on red (or in this case, blue) carpets these days is more jewel-toned, so it’s refreshing to see this sexy pastel-y shade on Paula.
I’ll also give my stamp of approval for the cut of this dress. Now, being a small person, I can attest to the fact that it’s often a struggle for petite chicks to find the right style and cut that won’t make their stems look like hamhocks or their torso seem minuscule. P’s done a great job on this, so hoorah for that.
However…
WTF is up with the black? Come on! You’re going to be all brave and wear this super light amethyst color and then go and put a black cummerbund and rounded-off black shoes with this? Geezus. And don’t even get me started on that whatever the hell that is on her arm.
Dammit, Paula. So. Freaking. Close. But, So. Freaking. Far. Away.
Now, if I had some scissors handy and could brazenly attack her from behind, the black would disappear and be replaced with a fabulous, shiny silver. Silver sandals, delicate silver bracelets, a funky silver ring. Not *bleep*ing black. Oy.
Anyhoo, loves, what do you think about Miss American Idol’s look? You likey just as is, or do you agree with Mama Snarkstress? Weigh in below, and Happy Friday!

If Paula’s purple dress comes in a size 24, I want one! I’d even have my back waxed for it. I love it that much. (Do her pills come with it?)
Love it just as it is.
Drewbob, dahling,
Hm, yes, a shave (or wax) of the back would certainly be in order if you want to sport Paula’s dress. As for the pills, if you’re a curvy size 24, you may need a stronger dose than what Paula’s on.
Then again, maybe not.
Heh.
Jo, love, you likey even with the black? What a kind person you are. Paula says “thanks”.
