I'm Bringing Culottes Back

I've been trying to decide if I should do American Idol recap posts or not this season. After a long, internal debate with myself that wasn't nearly as naughty as it sounds, I came to the conclusion that I do indeed enjoy watching trainwrecks and so American Idol Season Eight and me are on like Donkey Kong.
Last night's recap is up at MamaPop, and I'll be bringing down the collective IQ with recaps for the whole rest of the season.

Great recap. I'm looking forward to reading more.
I don't care.
Cool. I like reading your recaps even when I watched the show...
When did culottes go away ;)?
American Idol is a tv show about bad singing.
(This is me trying to comment without being funnier than you.)
Also, American Idol contestants sometimes wear culottes.
Remember that time on American Idol when that person couldn't sing, only their friends convinced them that they could, and so they went and auditioned and they sang out of tune and then they forgot the lyrics and decided that breakdancing the last part would help the judges forget? They wouldn't let that person go to Hollywood because they were too full of teh awesome, so instead that person got a job as a mime, which, when you think about it, is kind of ironic because mimes don't say anything. And then one day someone thought their miming was so incredible that they gave them a job hosting this new show called American Idol.
And that's the temporal paradox story of how Ryan Seacrest got to hang out with Dick Clark (who we all know is the source of teh awesome).
Thank GOODNESS someone else knows what culottes are!
So is that how it's spelled? I've always wondered.
I may just read your recaps and skip the actual show. I'm sure you're take on the contest and all it's varied and sundry play'as will be much more entertaining.
I will get down on my knees and beg you not to bring culottes back. Please oh, please, oh, please don't.
I went to a crazy strict, or just crazy, christian (Baptist) high school. And we didn't mind the dress code that required us to wear skirts below the knees with nylons and close toed shoes. Infinitely worse was that they required us to wear below-the-knee pleated maroon culottes for any sporting activity, such as gym, volleyball and cheerleading. It was so traumatizing being the laughing stock of even the Christian schools that we competed agains that me and my best friend begged, borrowed, or stole as many culottes as we could after we graduated and burned them. So they could no longer hurt anyone else, of course.
YES! I love idol recaps, especially snarky/hilarious ones!!!!!
That's pretty cool! My sister used to wear layers upon layers upon layers...long pants with shorts over them, with a long sleeve t-shirt and a dress over all that, with two pairs of socks and high heels.
A thought...maybe all fashion designers secretly have little girls feeding them ideas? It might actually explain some of that stuff on the runway.
