I suffer from a chronic indifference to football. I willingly watch one game a year and that game is the Super Bowl. I make snacks and drinks and get up to pee in between commercials. Ever since the whole Janet Jackson nipple slip, I try to watch the half-time show, just in case. It's really just about keeping pace with our vapid pop culture.
The Who's performance on Sunday was underwhelming. There were no wardrobe malfunctions or surprise performances from Britney Spears. It sounded like the opening credits of CSI Miami played in a loop for the duration of the show. Violet was far more entertaining.
I don't know why she's only wearing tights.
Seriously, it's not worth trying to figure out. Sometimes art cannot be explained with words.
*Actually, the outcome of the Super Bowl was moving, even to my cold, indifferent heart. A grown man crying with a baby in his arms under a torrent of confetti gets me every time. My husband decided that if the Saints won the game, we would go to New Orleans for our big anniversary trip. I rooted for them inspite of myself.


Forget the tights - I love the moves!
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me these can be used as blackmail pics when she's about 17,
She kind of looks like she's doing a Mick Jagger impersonation...
ReplyDeleteWay better than some multi-million dollar stadium performance. Although I found your reference to wardrobe malfunctions extra funny when I saw the photos of Vi in only tights. Clearly NOT a malfunction, I know her outfits are always very well thought out, but cute just the same.
ReplyDeleteYou are a better woman than I, to sit through an entire football game including the geriatric half-time show (CBS's blatant self-promotion). So glad it was worth it! New Orleans sounds like a great place to celebrate your anniversary.
She's got the moves! I didn't get to see one minute of the game and we're the ones who usually have the party. But, with an absent LK well... Princess had control of the TV and entertained me with Lego Star Wars Wii.
ReplyDeleteAda is also a fan of tights alone. Yesterday she spent a bunch of time just in tights. Today she left home wearing a shirt, dress and tights, but returned with the shirt inside out and the dress missing.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are amazing! I especially love the last two.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't watch the grown man crying part - it would make me cry. damn having-kids-makes-for-crazy-hormones thing has ruined me. I cry at EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeletebut was really happy to see the Saints win. yay!
I think this was the first Superbowl I've ever watched. But it so wasn't about football.
ReplyDeleteThis is our 10th wedding anniversary, too -- and YES, New Orleans is the PERFECT place to come and celebrate yours! :-) Maybe you should consider Jazz Fest? http://www.nojazzfest.com/
