You know what I mean?
It was one of those days.
Then I popped online to check my email and got a message that What Not To Wear was in our town!
Looking for someone to give $5000 to!
This is one of my favorite shows ever.
I've begged The Man to turn me in before, but he swears I'm not that bad.
I replied to the email and was all, "Dude, are you serious?! I'm sitting here in my sweats and a tank with no bra, looking as WT as they come."
I was pretty sure that by the time I made it out, they'd have found at least 30 people in our town who desperately needed a makeover.
But figured I'd try anyway.
So out I went. Nappy hair. Day old makeup. No bra. Gnarly toes in desperate need of attention.
The Baby had insisted on a piece of cold fried chicken for breakfast and I was in no mood to fight with him.
And on our way to the car, he found a weed and popped it through his chicken he was carrying.
I hoped it would make me all the more appealing to Clinton and Stacy.
Our town is small and I knew if they were here, they could only be on main street.
So that's where I headed. I walked up and down Main street praying, "Please God, don't let me see anyone I know."
And I didn't.
Thank you God.
But then we walked by a thrift store and I saw a big sign in the window that says "What Not To Wear".
I went in and asked about it.
They said, "Oh we're just doing a window display of things that are bad outfits and things that are good outfits. We're not done with the display yet but will be soon."
Suddenly I was mortified.
I'd been walking around all skanky looking, dragging a toddler and his cold fried chicken, for nothing!
How embarrassing!!
The tv show wasn't there at all. Someone just saw the sign in the thrift store window and updated their facebook status with the news.
By this time it was lunch time, so we headed to my favorite high class food spot, grabbed lunch and headed home.
So if you're in my town and saw me the other day, I apologize for giving you the need to wash your eyeballs.
I know I was a scary sight.
But I had a good reason to be out that way.
So, I thought.

hey, i'm wearing sweats, a tank, and no bra most days!
Oh, I love WNTW - both the American and British (original) versions! Did you ever find out what the email was all about? I have to be honest and say I think I'd qualify for the show. I routinely go out in sweats, flip flops, ponytail and no make-up... although I do try to remember to put on a bra before leaving home. Also my jeans are high waist, tapered leg and not a dark denim. LOL

O.K., Beki...That was hilarious to read. Nope, I didn't see you, but if I would've, I wouldn't have thought you were trashy or anything :) So, go on ahead and make catcalls again at me if you see me out walking.
VERY funny!
LOL!
You are too funny. Maybe we need to call Stacy and Clinton with this story and they would see how much you want to be on the show :))
You are SOOOO funny!
I just sent this link into their show nominating you! LOL I think it would be funny if they picked you up!
Oh Beki, let your white trashy side come out! Live your inner trailer park! You know I love that about you. And I think that it's great that bad baby was so willing to help you out like that. :o)
We dont have cable, so I dont know this show. But, you are way to funny! My "girls" are to big to go out uncovered, otherwise you described me to a T. Thanks for a great laugh. And a lovely piece of fried chicken! LOL
my son HAS a snuggie.
actually, he has 2.
(you know..."order within 3 minutes and we will throw in a second snuggie free"). It's all he wanted for Christmas.
I nominated Molly for what not to wear on my blog.
YOU are Hilarious!! That was so funny, seriously:) I definitely have those days. Actually I just ran into town and got sandwiches for lunch in what I wore to bed last night. Haven't brushed my teeth yet or combed my hair and then when I got home my new neighbor decided to come over and introduce herself. Great first impression I made:)
But what happened to the e-mail?! About the $5000?
And I think i should just share that a couple of my friends and I had a Mommy night and wandered the mall and we were all trying on clothes and doing our best Stacy and Clinton to decide what looked good and what didn't. Yeah, we are all around 26 years old.. you wouldn't have known it by the giggling, though. :D
LOL! That is too funny!!
LOL...that is freaking Funny... :) L
PLEASE leave this one up a couple days!! I advertised it to a bunch of people....and I don't want them to miss this entry. Too funny :-)

Hilarious!!!! I was sitting in front of my computer laughing so hard at your post. My family probably thought I had completely lost it. Thanks for the chuckle. Love the pic of the chicken.
Hilarious! Oh my goodness! I am laughing so hard!
Okay, this just made me laugh!! I SO would have gone looking for Stacy and Clinton too! Thanks for sharing!
ps - If only you had been wearing socks with your flip-flops . . . ;)
O now this is truly funny! Thanks for the laugh!
SO FUNNY!!!
I especially love the weed in the chicken! I think you're too cute to make it onto the show anyway!:)
HILARIOUS! I am rolling in the floor!
thank you sooo much for making me laugh out loud...so much so I had to tell my sig other all about it...she laughed too...I love the weed chicken...
p.s. I love taco bell too
At least you still have your skanky youth. At my age, makeup just cakes up in the wrinkles leaving me looking cruddy even when I'm trying. LOL
You are funny! I probably would have done the same thing! (Um, minus the toddler and the chicken, but otherwise the same)! I'm waiting for them to do an older fat Grandma type chick! I'm WAITING! No such.
Hugs,
Sheila
I've read this post twice now and still am laughing waaaay too hard! You're hysterical!!!
LOL!!!!!t
that is absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!! i bet i would have done the same thing!
I really wish we lived in the same town...I want to hang out with you! Please don't think that's scary-it's totally a compliment. You are hilarious. That chicken cracked me up. And asking your man to turn you in. I'm still laughing.
You are very brave and a good sport. I'm a sucker for all that stuff too. I love this show cause it picks out real people with real ugly wardrobes. Fun to watch. Now where did I put my comfy pants........
Well EVERYone knows now what not to wear! But I don't know. You may be a fashion trend setter. Because I'm sitting here in the exact outfit you described! LOVED the weedy chicken. lol
i love it...and would have done the same thing!
Absolutely priceless!
Very FUNNY!!!!!! I love this show too!
Thanks for the good chuckle...you are so REAL!! lOVE "the baby's" fried chicken...he has a "gift". :)
LOL!!! This was so hilarious!
This is too funny! You are brave, but I want to be on the show too so I guess sometimes we do what it takes. :) Thanks for being real!
You really needed that Midol when you got home, huh? *snicker* oxo
