* The setup…
With her world famous greeting “Hello Pineapples!” and loving heart bigger than her hair, it’s impossible to imagine Chicago without Miss Foozie®. A famed personality and household name in the city’s LGBT community and beyond, she’s consistently voted “Best Female Impersonator”, including nods from the publications Chicago Free Press and New City. She has big plans for expansion and is embarking on a journey to win more hearts across the country.

* The Question: Caption?
Keep it clean, please. I mean it. Don’t test me.

The only way Foozie coul dwin is if Alexi was her only competition! What is the criteria to be a successful impersonator? Shouldn’t one at least look womanly?

Alexi poses with Ricky Hendon, whose fashion sense has gotten more extreme over the years.

Big Alexi Don’t Cry - Valli, enhanced by VanillaMan
Big Alexi don’t cry)
(Big Alexi don’t cry)
Big Alexi don’t cry-yi-yi (he won’t cry)
So Alexi says (who said, pols don’t try?)
“My opponent, likes to lie-yi-yi” (my, oh, my)
Miss Foozie, wonders why.” (We all wonder why)
(Silly boy) Told voters he had what it took
(Silly boy) Until the Feds took a look at the book
(Silly boy) Alexi claims he is no crook
Big Alexi don’t cry
Big Alexi don’t cry-yi-yi (he’d rather die)
Big Alexi just gets sly (who said, pols aren’t sly?)
Miss Foozie, I was cruel (I was cruel)
Miss Foozie, I’m a fool (I’m such a fool)
(Silly Alexi) Shame on you, the voters said
(Silly Alexi) Shame on you, you have no cred
(Silly Alexi) Shame on you, you should had fled
Big Alexi don’t cry
Big Alexi don’t cry-yi-yi (he’d rather lie)
Instead he’ll use an alibi (that’s just an alibi)
Big Alexi don’t cry
Big Alexi just deny
Big Alexi it’s only July
Big Alexi my oh my…

Alexi thought the “G” in “LGBT” stood for Giannoulias.
(Just wondering–Why do we have female impersonators when there are so many real females in the world?)

From the Kirk for US Senate Campaign:
This picture just goes to prove that every negative rumor you have heard about Congressman Mark is false.
(Fan of the Game: it’s because we sometimes “lose our edge” and need help to keep our men confused.)

Eager to tout his first Republican endorsement, State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulis today released this photo with State Representative Suzanne Bassi.
Comment by siriusly Wednesday, Jun 30, 10 @ 1:11 pm
Alexi is modeling a Hartmarx grey flannel suit, an American flag lapel pin and a cheezy grin.
Miss Foozie is modeling what appears to be a tablecloth along with faux beads and an adam’s apple.
How do you like those (pine)apples?

Alexi upon seeing the picture: OMG, this is what I look like when I have my forced, fake, campaign smile on? But, hey, on second thought my youthful orthodontia turned out purty good, don’t you think? Thanks Mom!

With her world famous greeting “Hello Pineapples!” and loving heart bigger than her hair, it’s impossible to imagine Chicago without Miss Foozie®. She poses with Alexi Giannoulias (right), Illinois State Treasurer and Democratic candidate for U. S. Senate.

Patrick, what does that have to do with anything? Ron is judged by how well he performs his job as schools chief. Are you dissatissfied with that? Then criticize that, not who he is.

Comment by Verdicto Thursday, Jul 1, 10 @ 8:21 am
Verdicto, that’s what got Clinton in trouble. He was asked and he told - kinda-sorta, depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is. All Clinton had to say is that it was a private matter. I draw the line at the sexualization and exploitation of children. Children have a special right, the right to be protected from predators.
