Supermodel presents the “Handal”

Blog Guy, you’re pretty plugged into the flashy world of top supermodels, aren’t you?
If by “plugged in” you mean most of them have taken out restraining orders against me, then yes, I sure am.
Just last year, Vanity Fair named Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen “the most beautiful woman in the world.” So what is she doing now?
It’s funny you should ask. Just yesterday, she unveiled a brand-new article of clothing, sandals you wear on your hand. They’re called “Handals.” Here she is posing in them.
Are you sure, Blog Guy? Maybe she’s just holding up shoes.
Hang on, it also appears that she’s trying out a ventriloquist act, interviewing a Handal in several photos….
Blog Guy, you just don’t have a clue, do you?
Maybe not, but I did trademark the word, so if Handals take off it’s my ticket out of this dump.

Finally something to do with footwear… though i am not sure if i like the plasticky effect… umm..nope.. DONT like the plasticky effect….
Gisele Bundchen the most beautiful woman in he world? Hardly. Vanity Fair needs to get a new pair of glasses.
Yeah, I was looking at her ‘handals’ – is that what we’re calling them now?
Incidentally, maybe someone should explain the whole left and right thing to her, as she seems a little confused in the first two photos.
“most beautiful woman in the world”
Obviously, VF never met my wife.
This what happens when supermodels play with superglue. The sandals are stuck to her hands. I noticed she was able to grab a mike to ask for help.
DD’s getting lucky tonight!
Uh, maybe, but that’s assuming his wife reads this blog, which is a long shot.
Oh he’s making her read this Blog today!
Aww, Doctor! Arent you the sweetest!
She’ll eat either the sandal or mic
Ha ha Dr. D. is gonna be playing doctor tonight.
I saw recently a picture of Gisele from before she was famous. She was stunningly gorgeous before they made her look like a model.
Does this make Gisele the Handal Messiah?
Indeed. Very good, newcomer. Please come back often…
This Blog is not my wife’s cup of tea. She looked at it over my shoulder once, shook her head, and walked away (still shaking her head).
Well hey Dr D, at least you picked a cutie who can multi-task !
You know you married a good woman when she sticks with you even though you follow the OE blog.
I think Gisele is practicing the sequel to the last Levi promotion. Only this time instead of guys doing stupid tricks to land in jeans 4 sizes to large for their scrawny $%##$% they are jumping into these “handals” (1)

There Bob. That should be acceptable for your lawyers. Should you have any tied up in the basement.
Funny you should say that onequartlow… that’s usually where he keeps me.
Well, LMR, I didn’t know you were a lawyer!! Goes to show we actually do learn things in this blog.
Dr. D, you are definitely spoilt if you managed to find a gorgeous woman who can multitask AND is compassionate and caring in sticking with you… I mean, I know what we OE readers are like! How did it go?… “meddie-filled, giggling, drooling oddities” was it? I should know when I look in the mirror!
Yes, justM, I am such a lucky one. My wife, B, is beautiful, sensitive, smart, and athletic. She is, truly, one in a million. I may make jokes about adultery and such, but — for the record — I have never even been tempted to stray.
We celebrated our 25th anniversary last December.
WHAT A WOMAN!
Congrats, Doc. If only she read this blog, she’d be perfect.
Basler, you meant, if she commented on the blog, she would be perfect…
Doc, I am sure you both make a lovely couple! Sigh!! (that’s the romantic in me… I love my parents for the same reason… )
