That’s It: I’m Having Six More Kids
May 23rd, 2009
I’ve become fascinated by this picture of Kate, from Jon & Kate Plus 8. I don’t really watch the show, but she and her husband are all over the news right now due to a little extra-marital action they both allegedly have going on. (And how they’re able to get a little somethin’-somethin’ on the side with eight kids at home is actually sort of impressive. I mean, I can’t even sneak a cookie without someone finding out, much less spend a few hours at the NoTell Motel with a hunky bodyguard.) (And, just for the record, even if I did have a hunky bodyguard, I wouldn’t waste my time sleeping with him–I’d just make him take out the trash and intimidate the PTA ladies for me.)
Anyway, as you can see, before she had a hit show on TLC, Kate was sort of on the Susan Boyle-side of the attractiveness coin. Well, not that bad, but she was still just your typical looking mom. But then, thanks to the show’s producers who footed (feeted?) the bill for glamorous things like a tummy tuck, a boob job, fake tanning and teeth whitening, and, let’s not forget, her so-called “hairstyle” that I honestly think makes her look like the offspring of Posh Spice and Foghorn Leghorn, she’s now kind of a babe.
So, if you need me, I’ll be over at Target buying some new maternity clothes. After all, I’ve got to do something to get in shape for bikini season.

I have always referred to that hairstyle as “chicken butt.”

Well, I only have two to go! But if I’m gunning for a make-over, it’s not going to be from whoever created Kate’s new look.

Me and my friends are going to suggest to Bravo “The Real Rednecks Of Caldwell County NC” They will get out much cheaper, they will only need to supply us with a few cases of beer and cigerettes(for those who smoke- me 2 months smoke free thank you)Hilarity always ensues and I spend way too much on alchohol. I have finally found a way for some-one to support my bad habit! You and your Mouthy Housewives could guest star.

Whoa! That is quite the transformation. She hardly even looks like the same person!
And, I agree that it is unbelievable that a person with that many kids could find time to have an affair. I can’t even use the bathroom alone without someone barging in, never mind wooing someone and getting some ‘chicka chicka boom boom’ time with them.

Holy Cow! I’ve been thinking the same thing! I mean come on, how do you manage to get away with that sort of hanky panky with all those kids that are WAY too young to be very good at keeping a secret from daddy. I wonder if she has a large stash of benadryl to help with that.

For some odd reason (couldn’t figure it out), I was never able to get my google reader to accept a subscription to your old blog but this new one took just fine – hooray! You’ve made at least one person happy – me!

what an idiot I am trying to make it in Hollywood the old fashion way: with talent when all I had to do was pop out a good number of these things

The hair called a reverse mullet and I fear it’s becoming very popular. I’m mobilizing a grass roots effort to convince Kate and the general public against to resist it.

I’m here to tell you that the producers of the show didn’t even have to foot the bill for Kate’s tummy tuck and boob job because she was so ugly…ahem…regular looking before that the actual plastic surgeon was like OH MY GOD I CANNOT STAND BY WHILE TLC INFLICTS THE WORLD WITH THIS LEVEL OF REGULARNESS, and then he did the surgeries for (the) free (publicity), and now I know why that haircut looks so familiar. Saturday morning cartoons from 1986.

Yeah, when I had kids, I had a transformation like that, but in reverse.

The new blog looks fantastic! And I’m fascinated with this family (even thought I don’t watch the show b/c watching all those whiny kids gives me a nervous breakdown).
12. Amy | May 25th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I’m with you…I keep looking at the photo. I can’t believe that was her. I wonder if she was as naggy back then or if it came with the new look.

My daughter refers to Kate’s haircut as a reverse mullet.
14. Akilah Sakai | May 26th, 2009 at 10:30 am
“…makes her look like the offspring of Posh Spice and Foghorn Leghorn,…”
That was supposed to be a show secret! Who told you? One of the producers or a fired house helper?

Can I give an Amen to the hair fiasco (I mean style) she’s got going on. To me its a little mullet-like but rather than business in the front and party in back, she’s got 90s in the front and GI Jane in the back.
16. jamey r | May 26th, 2009 at 11:12 am
in my neck of the woods we call this kooky hair-do an exit wound. its like wishful thinking…
17. kristin/kwr221 | May 26th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Ok, besides having time for an affair, who the heck would have the ENERGY with 8 kids?
And you are so right on about the hair.
I’d love to see some more “before” pics.
18. madmad | May 26th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Wow! New digs! Check it out! Way cool. Not so with the hair, though. I don’t even get it – but chicken butt was a GREAT description!
19. Belle Bamford | May 27th, 2009 at 7:09 am
Congratulations. I’m loving the new look. Yours – not Kate’s!
20. Maria Butts | May 27th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I think he cheated on her because of her nasty hairstyle.
21. Luci | May 28th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Nice new pad ya got here!
Ha! I just posted on this yesterday! I wish I’d known you did, I’d have linked your post or something…
Yea, not my type of reality show; stresses me out just hearing the name. I like the Supernanny much better,
22. Russel | May 29th, 2009 at 5:39 am
That’s what we call a reverse mullet. Indeed.
23. Pass the Bubbly: What do &hellip | May 30th, 2009 at 5:26 am
[...] Aarons totally agrees with me on the whole Kate Gosselin hair thing. And she’s having six more kids to get hotter. Plus, she has a new website and we love her so please check her out here: [...]
24. Lisa (jonnysmommy) | May 30th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Yeah, that is a transformation, that’s for sure. It helps that some plastic surgeon gave her a tummy tuck for “free” so he could get some publicity. That always helps, I’m sure. Love the new look.
25. Scary Mommy | June 4th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
I couldn’t agree more! I love your” Susan Boyle-side of the attractiveness coin” line, and her hair just makes me angry.
