only fall off the bridge that is looking like a Hungarian war refugee in the 1920's.
Her suit reminds me more of a failed alcoholic ventriloquist that opens low end burlesque shows in 1950’s for free drinks.

She is also wearing bowling shoe style sneakers with red laces ffs. She topped off the shitshow with red laced clown shoes. She puts a lot of effort into looking that stupid. Maybe she wants her personal style to accurate reflect the absurdity of her existence.
 
Here's a question: is this just Mal trying to show what a dude she is. Where she pretends she cant shower, or dress, or wipe herself clean because she is just such a bro.
She’d need to stick to something more basic and far less try-hard if that was her goal.

Mal went shopping to find the perfect outfit for this bookstore event, uploaded try on photos to IG. She put a lot of effort into a poorly fitting, ugly suit. So impatient to wear it she didn’t even bother to get the legs hemmed and instead just did rolled up lazy cuffs, exacerbating the dressing up in grandpa’s golf pants effect.

One of the big sells of fashion to pooners is tailoring suits to fit women’s bodies. Tailoring is always important with suits, but obviously Mal doesn’t understand this and think it’s women’s RTW off the rack.

Before trooning out Mallory at least had the respectable lady dressing lessons from her mom that guided her. She was no fashion plate but looked perfectly nice, what one would expect of a bookish young feminist writer. She dressed as if you should pay attention to what she said or wrote, not what she looked like or her attire. Now she puts all her effort into broadcasting her totally queer trans LBGTQWTFBBQ persona to ensure only other like minded people will interact with her.

I did find it amusing that for her “I’m a man!” media tour she always looked like an extra from Saved By The Bell. She’s never seemed to find another cohesive style after abandoning “1990’s cool teen boy” look. Her foray into designer clothes in NYC was godawful.

Her biggest fear is being mistaken for a common lesbian, instead of a transman in a polycule, if she didn’t dress outlandishly.
 
You think the child is there on stage (even with Mom in audience) as a prop or a crutch?
That's her Humble, Selfless, Transman in a Polycule™ branding in action right there. Her masochistic virtue signalling. Mal loves to interpret and present her daily humiliations as an advanced and exceptional lifestyle.

Even when it's undeniably rude, apparently. The audience came to see and hear adults read from their work and not be constantly distracted by Sideshow's bastard being a typical restless toddler in the background. But Mal's big hearted desire to give Rocco a unique experience (which he probably won't even remember later) and to show him off (while sporting her new 'do and suit) comes first!

There was no need. The photo itself speaks volumes.

They really enjoy using Rocco as a prop. It’s not the first time they’ve dragged him to an adult book event a baby has no business being at.

Unless you have written a children’s book or your book is focused on parenting, pregnancy or child development there is zero reason to bring a toddler to your book reading.

It just comes off as performative and another bid for attention. These are ppl that posed on a mag cover as the BPT and sent photos to the tabloids the day Rocco was born after all. There may be people at this book reading unaware that Mallory is raising her husband’s girlfriend’s baby!! Therefore Rocco must make a guest appearance.

I also believe Joe has planned a book, TV show, play and/or movie about it. His main character syndrome is pathological. I think the last three years have been his attempt to create some sort of tranny family brand for self-promotional purposes. He would have preferred to have some attractive artisty queer commune in NYC that did porn, but he was too poor and repulsive. Therefore Mallory must help promote the trans-polycule family brand he has settled on.
 
So they watched re-runs of "Three's Company" and said, so what if Jack Tripper was a snobby sex pest, Janet Wood was a bad writer who had her boobs cut off, and Chrissy Snow wore glasses and popped out a cute baby for a season finale?

Yeah, and we'll wear kooky clothes and eat kooky food!
 
Far be it for me to speak ill of a baby, but what the fuck is going on with little Rococo's forehead. Why is it so big and elongated?

Presumably his paediatrician is monitoring this, as it can be a sign of some serious conditions. But let us not have gloomy thoughts about young Rococo / Bobby Joe, and turn to some 16th century Hapsburg princes for edification. Behold Princes Ferdinand and Diego, the sons of Philip II and his niece

Ach, don't make fun of that child. What he is going to have to figure out & deal with in a few years is completely unbearable to think about. And that's even without the strong probability they will make terrible life choices on his behalf too before that. Breaks my heart to look at him, nobody deserves this.

NGL, if Rocco doesn't have some sort of serious physical condition I'll be surprised. Between LaLa's old eggs (if hers were even used to conceive him) and Sideshow's old and hardly healthy sperm (with all the drugs, alcohol, etc., he's imbibed) his prospects with that are not great.

Fingers crossed, for his sake. Psychologically he's already fucked. Hopefully he won't have some kind of medical condition too.
 
I want to say that I’d be shocked if they didn’t get all the specialized tests that people get during a geriatric pregnancy, -for anyone who doesn’t already know, that is, a pregnancy where the mother is over 35, (I’ve never been fond of that term for a 35 year old, but I understand its use in the fertility cycle,) but I really would not be shocked if the Throuple neglected to get those tests.

^ To refresh the old memory. They tried their damndest to market Rococo’s birth. To bring a toddler to a book reading is some ridiculous, attention-whore, shit.

I must have missed the origin of, “BPT,” what does that stand for, please? Something poly throuple?

Brooklyn Power Throuple. Arguably not all that geographically correct anymore. Maybe it should be Itinerant Power Throuple since they move a lot?

Nice t shirt there on LaLa. Very mature and appropriate. Just what I’d want my kid to Google up later.

To my everlasting shame i am not hip enough to remember which high fashion retard Walter Van Beirendonck is, but having looked him up on grailed it appears he sold 500$ 40% polyester sweaters with slogans like" KISS THE FUTURE! FUCK THE PAST , OWLS WHISPER , GET OFF MY DICK, WOW and WHAMBAM!
 
So what's Mal's furry costume going to be? After that Spike Jones suit there's nothing left for her in the world of cloth.
That's an easy prediction. Mal's fursona will be the humble beaver. They are considered cute, industrious, and non threatening. (Mainly because no one has to deal intimately with their destruction and mess anymore. Beavers are rodent pests who got a lucky upgrade over the past century IMO.)

And what trans man wordsmith could resist a double entendre "beaver" joke to make Sideshow laugh?
