Keke Palmer Lately

Keke Palmer

I have been staring at this for a while now and not typing. Um. I don't love it. I don't hate it. It is in attendance. If this were a band meeting on Flight of the Conchords, it would say, "Present."

This is simpler, but cuter. Mostly because she got to add some accessories, since they would actually be visible. As the hair promised, the sun DID come out tomorrow, if by "tomorrow" you mean "like an hour or so later."

Well, this is unfortunate for Keke, because my eyes keep going to the shirt next to her. Also now I miss the Annie wig. It would have brightened up a heavy outfit more than long locks do.

Ah, ruching. If you can't raise and lower it like blinds, what is even the point.

She is in character here as Lady Miss Jacqueline, apparently. I think this is my favorite outfit of them all. And that is ALSO the face I make when I try to ride a bike, so maybe she's my soulmate.
