Just when I thought the Biddies would drive this blog into retirement, Fabiana comes along wearing leopard skin pants! She's wearing leopard skin pants! Please, oh please, oh please let this be a story about Fabiana and salsa dancing!

And please, oh please, let the fabulous Fabiana be Mr. Al(l)ora’s wife. And, please let us see Wilbur dancing.

Is "Baile" the spanish word for "pig"?

Maybe Distracted Iris is so distracted, she'll walk into Harlan Jones's art history class instead, and sparks will fly. By Friday she'll be wearing tiger-striped yoga pants as she practices with Harlan.

Anyone else wondering what Fabiana sees in Wilbur? And how she makes her hair swoop that way?

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled "Wilbur Discovers The Other Salsa".

Salsa?
You!

@Anonymous: 'Baile' is the Spanish word of warning, as in "Bail out now Fabiano!"

Could this be the plot where KM tries to get political, where Wilbur must chose between the only person other than his butcher who loves him and getting his undocumented girlfriend into the states? I hope Wilbur opts to stay in Bogota, both for his happiness and ours.

Gee, I'm not sure whose heart health should concern us more. Wilbur certainly doesn't appear to be in good enough shape to take up salsa dancing but on the other hand, Wanders sounds pretty fired up about those leopard skin pants.

This could be fun, in the same painful way as when a gorgeous “Dancing With The Stars” pro gets teamed with a short, pudgy, hopelessly inept celebrity. The number for Wilbur and Fabiana is 555-not-much. They may be eliminated.

Wilbur's going to have to put on some Elton John platform shoes if he wants to kiss his statuesque GF

Fabulous comments today, everyone! I can only trail in your wake.

I'm pretty sure that Fabiana's nickname for Wilbur is Tarjeta Verrde, but he's too dimwitted and smitten to understand.

Sharon said...

Wilbur's head looks unusually small today. Wonder if that means something?

Sandi Ego said...

"I met her in a club down in Bogota
Where we danced salsa and
I looked just like John Travolta
T-r-a-volta"

She mentioned a green card
As we started to dance
I should have asked more
But she wore leopard pants
Fabiana, oh oh Fabiana!"

Moy has a sense of humor afterall.

It looks like Wilbur is getting set up. I can't think of any other plausible explanation.

@Sharon: given that head sizes remain constant in adulthood, it probably means Wilbur found a good sandwich shop in Bogota.

Sharon said...

@Dave in Parma: Tee hee! Or his brain has gone south.

Baile is from "bailar" meaning to dance. At least we don't have Iris going on in her self-martyrdom.

Downpuppy said...

I have to disagree with everyone today :

Fabiana is wearing a skirt.

Downpuppy - please don't show that image to Wanders. It might be more than he can handle.

Yahoonski said...

You better hope those are leopard-print skin-tight pants, Wanders, and not a bad case of carbuncles on her bare butt cheek. It's a little-known fact that pants are optional at dance studios in Bogota. By the way, I misread the name as Estudio de Braille, which might explain Fabby's attraction to Wilbur.

Nice to see Sandi Ego is channeling Ray Davies today, but let's not forget Bob Dylan's "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" which can easily be recast as "Leopard-Print Skin-Tight Pants."

KitKat said...

How convenient that Fabiana has a cousin who's a dance instructor. Since she already knows how to dance, it would be much more instructive if Wilbur dances with Pedro. It would also be amusing to see Wilbur's hair-challenged head smushed into Pedro's hairy chest. (Either Wilbur has shrunk or Fabiana and Pedro are very tall.)

fauxprof said...

So that’s Fabiana’s cousin? Sure, we all believe that, don’t we? How long before Wilbur finds his credit cards maxed out and his bank accounts drained? And that’s just Dawn!

Regina Wolfe-Parks said...

I have an obscure song for the Charterstone jukebox, Wanders. It's called Everybody Salsa by Modern Romance:(Everybody has to check this out, just for the cheesy video.)

I think this so called "cousin" is really Fabiana's husband. When Wilbur's doing the salsa, Wilbur better stick close to his wallet. Mary needs to get on a plane to Bogata STAT. This meddle is too far away for emails.

Chester the Dog said...

Thats some hairy chest!

Pedro, I'd like you to meet my new friend Patsy. Uh, I mean Mark. No, I mean Wilbur.

I'll bet that when we finally get to see the rest of those leopard skin pants, we will also see that Wilbur is wearing a fanny pack - he's definitely the type. And of course, we all know that you can't dance with a fanny pack on, so....

TimP said...

I, for one, am glad to see that Wilbur has taken to shaving his heretofore hirsute forearms and hands. Give him credit for at least making some effort to clean up his look for Fabiana.

Pedro, say hell-o to my leetle friend....
