Hokey smokes !!!
Is that picture freaking REAL ???

(I have a funny feeling I'm being naive and falling for a joke.)

[pgkdan]

Good grief...that looks like the group from the carnival side show...what a bunch of freaks.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Does that picture have its own thread?!!! My eyes my eyes!!!

[Governor StrangeReno]

yes....but wheres Uncle Fester?

[Miss Marple]

It is from People Magazine. They got EXCLUSIVES! Want me to get the picture of the BRIDESMAIDS? ALL TEN? IN BLACK?

[Miss Marple]

LOL! No, I didn't want to clutter up the forum so I hitched a ride on Pokey's post. I think I WILL go get that bridesmaid picture. Heheheh.

"The guy on the left is the groom."

Thanks! . . .could not even decide which one was the Bride. . .

Liza, are you sure???

[Miss Marple]

Ta-da!

Liza and bridesmaids, from left: socialite Nabila Khashoggi, ABC's Cynthia McFadden, singer Petula Clark, actress Janet Leigh, socialite Rosemarie Lieberman, singer Martine McCutcheon, half sister Christiana Nina Minnelli, actresses Gina Lollobrigida and Marisa Berenson, singer Freda Payne, businesswoman Arlene Lazare and singer Mya.

Please please tell me someone Photoshopped that picture. They look like bad replicas of human beings.

[Governor StrangeReno]

Ill caption it "Grab A Granny"

[Miss Marple]

Nope. It's the real deal. Go to People and you can see. Ha!

The only reason I found it was because I happened to see it on Fox today and I thought "YIKES!"

When Pokey put this thread up, I thought it just BEGGED for artwork!

[Thinkin' Gal]

When the wedding articles first appeared, I immediately searched for the some pics [after seeing the wacko guest list]. I only saw a couple photos of Liza and 'groom', but he was obscured (gee I can't imagine why). I should have gone back later for another look? Then again, I just did a Yahoo search on "Liza", and this bunch is far far worse than even I had imagined.

[Miss Marple]

Kind of makes you think of "The Picture of Dorian Gray," doesn't it?

[Thinkin' Gal]

I noticed [at the Yahoo fright-fest] that almost everybody [but Liza] was dressed in black. At a wedding? I suppose that the most important consideration for these vain freaks was that "black is slimming". Eeek.

There's even a pic with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. Looks like while Michael was trying to look like Diana, Diana was trying to look like somebody else. Oooops!

[Thinkin' Gal]

The current crop of Hollywood stars only need look at this wedding circus to see themselves 20-30 years down the road. Can any of the people in the photos still blink their eyes?

[Howlin]

Ah, who is that between Diana and Liz?

[Howlin]

I swear, those pictures look EXACTLY like shots from that old movie, Night of the Living Dead!!!

[Howlin]

"Oh, just wear whatever black dress you have in your closet! It's be fine, everybody will be looking at HIS face anyway!"

He looks like he has been embalmed!

[Miss Marple]

They ALL look embalmed! Except Liza, who simply looks pickled.

I thought the same thing about the bridesmaids..."Just wear a long black dress, darling. It will look so chic, and black and white weddings are in vogue. Whatever you wore to the Grammie will be fine."

[McGavin999]

That has to be the saddest thing I've ever seen. Can you imagine being that shallow?
