If Kanye West Shocked You At The VMA’s…

Happy. Bittersweet. Sad. These are the feelings I’ve sustained during this emotional roller coaster ride of a photo shoot.

First, we’ll start with a vast improvement that puts a smile on our face; we just have to give credit where credit is due! Thank you, sweet baby Jesus; she’s given us new material! Michelle’s got an attitude and a knack for trying new poses and facials for the camera (which we adore), and her sworn secret is that she’s just gotten more comfortable throughout the years. She’s finally experimenting with each frame taken, and it’s great to see what works, and… what doesn’t. Michelle’s over-the-shoulder shot is a “must do” for every session. That signature sly smirk is one that races young hearts across the globe, as she looks like she’s quite the seductress – and she knows how to have a good time. Bad girl! We’re also treated to a few pouty lips and bedroom eyes that we think works in her favor, but then we’re also introduced to the same hand and arm gestures. On the hips, embracing her envious biceps, arm over the head… we’ve all seen it done before. With such a statement outfit (which we’ll get to later), we would have much more appreciated to see Michelle’s wild side. Hands on her face, holding up her hair, or even take photos without paying attention to the camera. Live, laugh, lunge! Michelle’s nailing her facials these days, we’d just like to see a little movement now.

Onto the bittersweet, and that goes without saying, bitter was our first taste. It’s pretty hard to get past the loud number that Michelle’s got on. The obvious major downfall is the eclectic, yet majorly gaudy maternity wear that practically drapes over Michelle’s body-almost as if it’s an unfinished piece. Was it a home-eck project gone wrong or was it especially designed and made for Michelle by Maria? No matter the reason, the honest truth is that we’re embarrassed for her! Show us someone who loves this dress, and we’ll show you a brownnoser! While on camera, it looked as though Michelle had a crocodile print, which gave it a bit more pizzazz to take into consideration. In photos, it looks more like a basket-weave print. Either way, we’d still pass. The gold sequin embellishments do make for a nice touch, however, something is still missing. While more times than often I’d shun upon making this decision (or even wearing them myself), I think had Michelle gone with leather leggings, the look she was going for would have had a better execution. Michelle’s no stranger to leggings, as she does pull them off quite well (so long as she doesn’t wrestle in them!!!), it’s just too bad she hadn’t gone with any here. Could have saved her from a hot fashion mess.

Michelle’s makeup isn’t anything groundbreaking, it’s very simple as it just enhances her features and keeps her looking fresh, however… not particularly enjoying the hairstyle. Can’t quite nail it, but there is something peculiar going on. Perhaps it’s her hair that just falls too simple for such an elaborate attire, the contrast doesn’t quite balance itself out. Needless to say, Michelle does know how to accessorize. Gold chandelier earrings along with a bangle; it’s all in the same color palette. Blonde hair. Bronze skin. Gold statements. Nice save.

The photo session in itself is definitely something you’d find on WWE.Com, and not in any major fashion publication (the ones I read, anyway). While the outfit is horrid (and should be dropped off at Michelle’s nearest Rescue Mission), Michelle does make up for it in her poses and facials. Not our favorite photo session, but we also wouldn’t list it under her selective worst, either. It makes the grade, and at the end of the day, who doesn’t love a new McCool shoot?

Final Grade: B- Kanye’s crazy. GaGa’s insane. Michelle’s just confused.
