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.
