The Kentucky Derby — the annual see-and-be-seen event where revelers wear silly hats, watch horses run around a track, and drink mint juleps (I’m guessing) — went down this weekend. Although I’ll never quite understand the draw, Gabrielle Union seems to like it. Also there: Dwyane Wade. Not there (if we’re going by photographical evidence): Star Jones. A morning when I don’t wake up to DWade and Star Jones relationship rumors is a good morning.
It’s the upscale version of OTB unless you happen to be one of the lucky few that have an entrant in the race!!
Upscale version of OTB or not, I love love love the hats! ::sigh:: Yete another old-school custom going by the wayside…
Love the hats. What’s with those shoes though Gabi?
I kinda want Star and Dwayne to be together now. How long has she gone without any? Five, six years?
Who is that heifer on Nigel? Hmmpph. She needs to take her sticky paws, plain Jane face, pasty ass and recycled bridesmaids dress down a level or six where she belongs.
LOL @ Daria! I think that’s his wife.
Okay. Replace “heifer” with “wife.” The rest of that statement stands.
@ daria–dang it, you can’t have all the fine white guys in the room! Leave some for the sticky-paw, plain-Jane-face, pasty-ass, recycled bridesmaid dress-wearing rest of ‘em.:-D
P.S. Mrs. Nigel’s hat–not a good look, and downright embarrassing for the hat parade that’s the KY Derby. You’d think Nigel would have called his boss from some chapeau advice.
He’s half Sri Lankan!
I’m sure the hat would be cute on an attractive person.
I will now sharpen my claws for my next victim.
@ daria–my humblest apologies for not knowing fully knowing Nigel’s ethnic make-up. Yet and still, Miss Gurl, you *still* can’t have all the fine menz in the room. Don’t hate on her ’cause she has him. Hate that damn hat on her, but not her.:-D
I’ve heard the Derby is hella fun. My aunt and 7 of my cousins are from Kentucky and they used to throw a huge Derby Ball every year. It’s kinda like the Kentucky version of Mardi Gras with social groups and such throwing parties. One of my exes used to go every year just to party.
Is Sri-Lankan the new black ? Cute guy though. He looks so much like is wife i would have swear she is his sister. I think her outfit is adequate… but HE would have need to rethink the tie… and the suit as a matter of fact : they look a little bit pimp-ish for my taste or is it just trendy ?
My all time favorite Gabby Darling is not her usual fabulous self unfortunatly. I won’t blame the shoes or the bag only… the dress is too short, too blue and too ordinary. We all have bad days !
Gabi’s ensemble is the business, although the shoes look a tad painful.
Nigel Barker makes me swoon..nuff said
Dwade is lookin nice in that hat.
Rachel, he looks nothing like that woman. NOTHING, I SAY!
Gabby DOES look like she was getting ready to go to a party then someone told her they were going to the Derby so she just threw a hat on and called it a day. I need to find horse shows to attend. I’m missing Connecticut right now. Horses are beautiful, stinky creatures.
Just explaining that 2 guys + 1 girl generally involves girl being manhandled, making her seem like a rag doll.
On the other hand, 2 girls + 1 guy is pretty practical as far as threesomes go… I’m told.
oops. wrong post. damned multitasking.
LOL @ daria. Going from ripping Nigel’s wife a new one to threesomes. You are ab fab, dahling! but now I’m intrigued. Where are you posting those last two?:-D
R Kelly post
P.S.: Eff that heifer
Horse racing is fun! I went for the first time two weeks ago and am hooked.
Daria : i’m soooo sorry… i didn’t want to hurt your feelings… you’re not stalking him yet are you ?
No. I don’t even fight over extra hot men who are right in front of me. I certainly won’t travel or even open extra tabs in firefox for one.
