“Caption This” Contest Winners

October 15, 2009 by WendyB

I loved all the caption suggestions for the backstage photo from my post on the Francis Spring 2010 look book shoot.

I admit I was a bit surprised we got no “The Pet Goat” suggestions, because that’s what Jennine, Christian and I thought of when we first saw the photo.

Andrew Card whispered bad news to George Bush on 9/11/01

C’mon, people! It’s okay to Go There. Anyway, keep leaving your suggestions. I get a big kick out of them. Right now I have to give special mention to two entries.

  1. Style Spy came up with a hilariously Far Side-sounding: “Christian tries very, very hard not to listen to the devil on his shoulder. But she is persistent, and later her horrifying suggestion involving the photographer and the balloons will indeed come to pass.”
  2. Miss Cavendish made me laugh Diet Snapple out my nose with: “WendyB stagewhispers to CFR: ‘More cowbell!'”

I intended to award the captions that pleased me most with … absolutely nothing. But Miss Cavendish has inspired me, so I would like to buy MissC and Miss Spy “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” (or another song) by Blue Oyster Cult via iTunes.  Ladies, please email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com so we can arrange for you to claim your punishment award! No, seriously, I love that song!

    For the caption: Wendy is saying “Honey, I don’t want to alarm you but I think that photographer guy thinks you’re Vin Diesel! And did you know, there’s some chick floating behind him!”

    Oh, I am humbled by WendyB’s kind words. And WendyB, you may put on your pants one leg at a time, but when you do, you make gold dresses!

    My caption: Wendy is saying: Christian, next time, please don’t hire a photographer that is trying to impersonate you. It’s just too confusing.

    I find it hard to come up with wit under pressure, but I find it even harder when I am trying to match up to such fabulous wit as has been displayed by your other witty readers! x
