Photoshop Phun: The Yarn Pageant!!

Welcome to the 2008 Yarn Pageant!!
This year promises to have the best lookers, yet.

May I present to you, in no particular order, the contestants...

Why it's Angela! She's chosen to go "Avant Garde Cabbage Patch" with 1985 mini-blind shades and an overall red hue on her yarn hair with black tips. She's youthful and can pull this look off like no other. Her girlfriend, Kasey, isn't in this picture, as she's catching up on the latest Grey's Anatomy because she now shares Angela's obsession and promises to no longer make fun of it and will continue buying Angela Grey's Anatomy-themed mugs.



It's FriYet! She's in the car on the way to her 1st day at Cabbage Patch Elementary! She's so excited to be wearing her acrylic hair in the latest 20-pony-tail-holder pig-tails! Her brand new polka-dot blouse really makes her yellow hair POP!



For their 55th wedding anniversary, Hillary and Shawn are in Mexico! Both are salt and pepper yarnified and they look like they're enjoying themselves! As we know, old people are always cold, so Hillary is wearing her favorite black and purple shawl and Shawn is wearing his favorite plaid flannel shirt with the built-in cape. Shawn didn't want to waste money on actual sunglasses so he's wearing the glasses he got for free at his last glaucoma check at the clinic! Aren't they cute?


This is Jess and her hubby Paul! They're out frolicking in the woods after a long day of drinking Miller Lite (see the cans in the background?). They're our present-day Raggedy Ann & Andy with updates! Paul is edgy with his bleached Van Dyke goatee and Jess is rocking a beautiful French manicure--brightened up just slightly with Photoshop. What a happy, attractive couple!



Here is Natalie with an adorable pooch, enjoying a nice day out in Turkey, sipping a Welch's Grape Soda! Natalie is sporting the latest in Cabbage Patch hair--an orange perm. Notice the subtle blonde highlights around the face? They set off her dental implants. Natalie's a bit of an over-achiever and has braces on top of her capped-teeth. She's taking no chances. Like they say, after awhile, most pet owners start to look like their pets---notice how Puppy is wearing Natalie-style sunglasses? Puppy is also having some cosmetic dentistry done. What a happy pair! Couldn't ask for 2 finer individuals to represet the US over in Turkey!

Please take a moment to vote for your favorite entry!!! The person(s) with the highest number of votes will receive a lovely prize from The Over-Thinker. And she promises that the prize is not yarn.

Natalie said...

man...i never looked so good!

i should have you do my hair everyday!

especially today...while i'm in istanbul where it is raining and cold. my hair is not happy with me at all!

The Over-Thinker said...

Witchy: I'm thinking of quitting my day job and taking this massive talent on the road. My husband says Hell No, but I'll work on him.

Zandor: Thanks!! Depending on the response, I'll probably do another one of these--you should definitely submit a photo!

Natalie: I would love to be your stylist. Your girls would be all, "My mom is the coolest!" (And then they might stop walking next to you in public, but we don't need to talk about that...) I'm so glad you submitted a photo! Besides Istanbul's weather, I hope you're having a wonderful time!

This is sooo funny. I love what you did with all our photos and the commentary was hilarious.

Meg said...

Sorry, I got distracted and forgot to send my picture in. Can I be in round 2???

Hyphen Mama said...

Do you have a stand-up gig you do on the side? Cuz you are THAT funny. Maybe you could sell your ideas to SNL?

The Over-Thinker said...

Sparklie: I'm glad that you liked it!! You were a wonderful participant--and you look "wicked bad" in those shades.

Meg: Absolutely--it'll happen in the near future for sure.

Hyphen: THANK YOU--good grief, you are kind :)

Hillary said...

I totally voted for myself.

friyet said...

The Over-Thinker said...

FriYet: I'm glad you liked it! I totally channeled my own, inner-tequila shot to design the pigtails.
