I'm going to post this if you didn't! Because I want to know is it common to for English speakers to pronounce "mall" as "mao" instead of "more".

Coco Lee and Beyonce Wear the Same Dress

Sorry, Coco, but it looks a lot better on Beyonce.

Well in my eyes, it doesn't look good on either of them

I don't know about that, but I have this sudden craving for Jiffy Pop

You can't expect perfection for only $200,000US.
Especially with the dollar continuing to collapse.

One hopes the craze in metallic materials for dresses will have run its course soon. And the Dolce & Gabbana super wide metal corset belt with the lock and key on the front has been everywhere for months.

Both women would look lovely in anything at all--a burlap bag with arm holes, for example.

Hmmm, you've given me an idea. I melt a bag full of dimes, spread the liquid out until it's thin as paper, dry it and fashion it into a dress, then sell it for $199,999.

Thanks, Ed! I'll give you a 10% "finder's fee."
