The Scarlett thinks she is saying, “I am big. It’s the pictures that are small.” Well, so is your dress, Ms. LaBelle!
The Scarlett wouldn’t have recognized the LaBelle without the caption. Has there been some unfortunate surgery to have altered her face so? Why did anyone think this dress a good idea? It is wrong on so many different levels.

Ha! The Scarlett she has made the Manolo laugh out loud!

Hee! And also, Patti LaBelle? At first glance, I assumed she was one of those drag queens featured in “Paris is Burning.” Kudos to The Manolo for finding the uncanny celebrity look-alikes, once again. It is, as you might say, The Gift.

The 70mm lens is ready for the closeup, Mr. DeMille.

The Tia is so sad to see the Patti Labelle is reduced to wearing too-small hand-me-downs.
Clearly the skirt seam has split, and is continuing to split all the way up.

We want sausage!

Even better: ‘Mr. DeMille, we found the 70mm lens, but we can’t find enough gauze to cover it.’

Thumbs up to Ms. Patti LaBelle for continuing to be herself! Patti has the most triumphant voice and spirit in all of music and has ‘always’ been known for her ecclectic, over the top concert dresses and hair styles. Where have you silly people been for the last 45 years Patti LaBelle has been consistently making music and thrilling audiences in her raucous, live shows? Patti has always been a woman who overdoes things. She over sings, she over dresses and she over loves her audiences. I hope she never changes. I will always be a Patti fan. I say make the split in the dress she is wearing higher and continue to be the Queen of Rock & Soul that she is. -Scott A., from Dallas, TX
