Just checked my mailbox. Still no "The Kardashians' Very Addams Family Christmas" card in there.
But one has to admire the way the reality TV personalities embraced the villainous side of their image by dressing in an overwhelmingly black color palette for their Christmas card this year. The black-tie theme goes rather nicely with the dark cloud hanging over the brand, now being sprinkled with media reports that its clothing line is caught in a sweatshop investigation. That's way more serious than having what appears to be pounds shaved off certain family members via Photoshop for this particular card.
No Photoshopping was required to eliminate Kris Humphries, the formerly underestimated someday ex-husband of Kim Kardashian. The family's Christmas photo shoot apparently happened shortly after Kim filed for divorce on Halloween.
I received a card from much nicer people in the Los Angeles area -- music producer Jimmy Jam's family.
It confirms, with the help of Jimmy and Lisa Harris' eldest son, Tyler, what I observed during a recent jaunt through Atlanta's airport: The 'fro is back!
Young Tyler, 15, is rocking a fabulous Afro, looking model-ready for a Macy's ad. He did not apparently get the family memo regarding footwear, however. Tyler is wearing some kind of athletic shoe (he looks too young for plantar fasciitis) while the rest of the family is in dressier shoes, including Bella's 11-year-old twin, Max. Wearing a three-button suit, Max looks like he could handle a photo shoot for Ermenegildo Zegna.
The holiday card from the women behind Prior Lake-based McFarland Cahill Communications made the most of their surroundings.
It looked to me as though the firm's eight employees poked their heads out of four windows in the office of Teresa McFarland to wave at the camera of photographer Kathy King. But Maureen Cahill told me Wednesday that the sun wasn't cooperating in McFarland's office, so they used the windows across the hall in the space of another PR firm, Bellmont Partners.
