Pin the shorts on the hootchie

I got the new issue of Entertainment Weekly today at work. On the cover this week is Eva Longoria wearing fishnets and what appear to be some hotshort undies.

See exhibit A.


Since I work at a Christian company, often magazine covers with scantily clad women get ripped off. Well in an attempt to rescue the cover so that everyone could see Eva's haughty pose and the layers and layers of hair extensions that would make Paris Hilton jealous, I decided to make some shorts through the magic of a Sharpie.

See exhibit B.



Realizing that the Sharpie didn't quite do the trick, I decided Ms. Longoria needed to look a bit more fabulous for her EW cover shot ... And what could be more fabulous than some Post-it note 7 for all Mankind brand shorts? (A shout-out to Uhmanduh for fashioning her some pockets).

See exhibit C.




As I was showing off her lovely new outfit to my office-mates, my editor came wandering in and raised his eyebrow a bit at my afternoon activity of cut-and-paste. So, imagine my surprise when just a few minutes later he bursts into my office with a change of clothing for Eva--this year's hot fashion accessory, nonetheless--a gold rainjacket made from construction paper.

Why did he have construction paper in his office? I have no idea. But the jacket fit PERFECTLY even though he didn't have the magazine cover to use as a guide. Lets just say I laughed like I haven't laughed in a long time.

See exhibit D.


I hope Eva appreciates what we've done for ... It's all in a day's work.

You should leave the magazine in the break room with a hidden camera, so you can see which of your co-workers unstick the post-it note.

I call it a "holiness covering" or if you prefer, "wholesome-wear".

Eva's @$$ is so pagan it's not EVEN funny.
