My Super Fug-Girlfriend

All Uma Thurman wants this Christmahanukwanzukah is a proper pair of gloves, so that she no longer has to strap on some oven mitts to get through the cold New York winter.

At first this reminded me of that episode of Friends where Phoebe’s old flame Charlie Sheen comes to town right as she gets the chicken pox, so they spend the entire episode making out with potholders taped to their hands to dissuade them from any sexy scratching of their scabs. In THAT instance, I get it — it’s bad to pick at those suckers, and all his problems aside, I can totally respect the importance of macking on the Ma-Sheen.

Unfortunately for Uma, though, I realized this is ALSO reminiscent of another classic TV moment.

Well, “classic” in the sense that it aired on a network which no longer
exists; if it’s hip to call any old ratty thing “vintage” just because
it’s old and pre-worn, then I’m going to go ahead and call this UPN-era
Top Model moment a classic. Also, it was hilarious. That photo is basically porn for shellfish fetishists. Although I’m sure Tiffany up there would have enjoyed her zodiac shoot a lot more if she’d known it would one day lead to Uma Thurman comparisons. Uma, however, might want to rethink the contents of her winter-weather clothing trunk, because the day she evokes a reality-show supermodel-wannabe SHOULD be the day Satan has to turn up his thermostat — and I hear his goosebumps are popping up apace.
