yellow? in this weather? please...

According to the Chronicle, Gavin has just been sworn into his second term and was joined onstage by his dad, sister, nieces and "his new fiancée, Jennifer Siebel, who sported a yellow dress and diamond engagement ring, and whom Newsom referred in his speech as 'the love of my life.'"
Dear God in heaven, what the fuck? I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I've been rapidly trying to find photo evidence of this bullshit, but the only snippets that are up are on ActLocally and you can't see much. I believe I made out Swiss Miss pretending to play with Gavin's nieces in some attempt at pre-aunthood. All I could wonder was how it was explained to them that they had another weirdo aunt to tolerate and imagined her speaking to them as if they were retarded.
I bet she gives them really gender-specific gifts like tiaras and tutus.
Actually, my birthday's right around the corner. That doesn't sound so bad.
None the less, yellow? It's 12 degrees outside and looks like the end of the world. Half the Bay Area has no power and trees limbs litter the roadways. Yellow? YELLOW?
City Hall's rotunda is not conducive to yellow. Personally, I'd go with a nice Bururry Prorsum first-lady-esque statement. But I guess that's just me. Yellow makes me look like a bruised banana.
And this probably goes without saying, but I'm going to need to see this rock. I'm talking color and clarity, people. Here's hoping it's a marquis in YELLOW gold...

The photo is up on the SFGate sight new. Let me be the first to say..."nice knees" (barf)

Thanks!
I've updated with a picture. Is that a caftan? It's not really yellow, per se. And we can't see the ring. But I'll admit, that hair color is hot in a Ken Paves/Prell kind of way...

That ring is hilarious. Did you get that idea in Reno?

Wait for the pearls and pill box hats. Barf!!!!!!!!!!

SFist has a slightly better (?) photo, (that dress is truly hideous); however they describe her as "Hitchcockian" which I have to disagree strongly with. Stepfordian might be more accurate. Mostly she reminds me of those fake barbie dolls, the ones that poor kids get because their parents can't afford the real thing.

Not bad...better on someone less stupid though...

I agree with the previous post. That definitely looks like a pregnancy dress! Hmmm, not together very long and now engaged. What's the rush?

Love of his life? Pretty sure Gavin wouldn't know true love if it bit him in the ass. I loathe that woman. Anyone ever picked off a first lady? Would the city thank us?

Spots said...

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We can make fun of her outfits and spelling. But if I can go a year without mentioning a golf cart (and this doesn't count) then we don't need to talk that kind of smack. Love you, probably, but that's not our style.
At least in public...

I wonder what Hill thinks of Jen?
Nice try by the priest telling Gavin to focus on the poor and not just the wealthy this time around. Jen might have to give up 700 dollar shoes and Juvederm. How creepy are the shots of her gazing up at him during his oath.

With her 80's high Dallas style, it has to be a marquis in yellow gold.

Rilla said...

Ugh, the thing is, although she is clearly not super-bright and has questionable judgment in blog posts, I just can't hate her because she's too bloody perfect in every other way. The soccer playing, and the Stanford going, and her uber-pretty (if slightly skewed) face - so perfect. I can't help but kind of like her. I am also jealous of her and deeply questioning of her taste in men. However, she's way better than Kimberly - in class, if not in entertainment value.

Rilla, please. Uncle Tom billionaire is on the board at Stanford. Do the math. My three-legged dog can chase a ball down a field and her "perfect" face is courtesy of Botox and Juvederm..nice try.

here's a shot of jen from 2005.
can you say crow's feet? aren't you supposed to get more wrinkles as you age.
she's full of fillers

give her credit for one thing....she really knows how to gaze magically at Mayor Gavin, and in every picture either has that "oh my GOD you're perfect" or "I can't believe I'm so perfect" look.

that ain't easy.

She's holding Tali a little to close for her to be preggers. Oh and Tali is too effing big to be held like a baby.

As if she'd bear her own children. Expect her to announce an adoption of an African baby a la Angelina Jolie soon. Better for the hips, you know! Oh, um, and for the world.
