Most of you are probably familiar with Kim Stagliano’s Ugly Suit, renamed “Da Suit” as she made her way through the blogosphere – KimâžœO’NeilâžœMeâžœPetraâžœAngâžœand now Karen.  What a long strange trip is has been for our girl!

I am happy to announce the latest winner, Karen Fuller, is guest blogging on CharlieInWonderland so she can share Da Suit’s latest adventure: A trip to Yuba City to visit with Karen Fuller, her son Nick, and the rest of the Fuller family.

So without further ado, I give you guest blogger, Karen Fuller:

Da Suit started life out as a fashion statement.  She knew she was destined for really great things!  Lucky for her she had no idea how really awful she was. She loved the bright lights of the store and all of the attention she received on the racks. “ Pick me, Pick me”, all the suits called out and soon she was chosen by a shopper and admired in the mirror of the dressing room.  The nice shopper said  “ I’ll take it”, Da Suit was excited that she had been chosen. The shopper took Da Suit home and the fashion show began. Da Suit could feel the atmosphere change.  The shopper was asking, “What was I thinking?”  And before Da Suit knew it, she had been stuffed…WITH A PILLOW??? (HERE)  Well, at least pictures were taken for a Publication called BLOG.  Soon Da Suit embarked on an adventure she could never have imagined.  She was shoved into a box and sent on her way.

When her box was opened there was a great deal of laughter, they could not possibly be laughing at her!  Da Suit was very confused. What is this?   Is the magazine called BLOG for pet shops?  Da Suit was grateful that she was not allergic to CATS (HERE).  She was glad the photo shoot was quick.  She was hoping she would soon be modeled by a human again, but, found herself… back in the box.

At the next stop, Da Suit met the man of her dreams (HERE). There was so much laughter and more pictures were taken and that made her so very happy. She imagined a rich life with this jump suited man and began to plan for the future. Sadly she found Elvis was just flat and cold and that relationship was very short lived. Back in a box she went.

Although she could not see where she was going she did enjoy the hum of the road.  Soon she joined an odd celebration. People were dressed in costumes and odd makeup. She found herself thinking… “They call me Da ugly suit?”  Da Suit saw people consuming mass quantities of sweets, she was confused by the constant calling of, Trick or Treat! Trick or Treat!  What kind of suit did they think she was?  She also knew that eating all of this candy would not help her to be worn in public.  At last she was worn by a woman so thin, she thought, “finally, a fashion shoot with a professional model!” (HERE) No one shared the candy they had horded with the very thin model wearing her, and she knew this was the look she was created for.  She wondered how large the circulation was for this magazine called BLOG? Of Course, just as she began to get comfortable,  back in the box she went.

Da Suit was beginning to lose hope and was starting to think that she would never be taken seriously as the suit she was meant to be.  She landed again. It was very cold here. No one in Tankini Land had ever talked about being around frozen water. There is supposed to be Sun and Sand, Pool boys and drinks with straws. She was very sure she had heard talk of Pool Boys. Was she losing her mind? When the box was opened she was delighted to see a beautiful little girl, who exclaimed, “ Oh! It’s so pretty! Can I wear it please?”  There was so much joy here, people were laughing and she was worn by the beautiful girl for another fun fashion shoot (HERE).  These pictures for the BLOG were going to make her very famous indeed and she liked this young girl and the warm cozy house.  Nothing could have prepared her for what happened next.  How could they  have put her on the frozen man? (HERE)  Where is the Sun? Where is the Sand? This man will never be tanned!!

There is talk of Vacations.  There is talk of Mexico!  Is this a trick? They are sending her somewhere else first? She hears California, but where the Hell is Yuba City?   In the dark cold box again, she prays that the Mexico story will really come true.

By the time she reached the next stop on her adventure her dreams began to shatter. She is still cold here and there is no beach. She is an East coast girl.  How did she end up on the west coast?  She wished for the nice shopper and pillow she started with.  She wished for the cat that was warm and furry. And even though he was cold and somewhat flat, Elvis was beginning to look pretty good. She missed the sweet little girl who thought she was a wonderful suit. Did she miss the frozen man too? Not so much…

Things began to look up when a party was planned.  Happy New Year was shared all around. She had trouble being noticed and was beginning to feel bad. Did these people not understand that she was Da Suit?  The cover girl for the famous magazine called BLOG?? Maybe she will just have one drink, and ask someone to dance.

She may have partied a little too hard and by now her self-esteem has suffered a few hits.  She woke up hung over and realized she had sunk so low that she would now go home with anyone who had a heartbeat.  Oh well.  At least she may have a date for Valentines Day!

After her trip to Mexico with Angela’s Mom, if you would like to host DA SUIT please comment here. She really is an easy houseguest.  Just ask her new boyfriend!
