We Shall Call Her… MiMi (McFabulous!!)


It’s been a while since we’ve last reviewed or featured a WWE.Com photo session that Michelle has participated in (long story short: we pick and choose our battles with ol’ dot com), but we’ve got to give credit where credit is due. We absolutely love Michelle’s latest studio shoot! You may remember Michelle’s attire from a couple of weeks ago when Lay-Cool had some fun in the ring at the expense of Piggie James (equipped with fat suit and all). Thankfully, Michelle hadn’t let the pretty go to waste, as fans are now treated to an amazing shoot that is nothing short of, as you may have guessed it, fierce and fabulous!

Sequins, sequins, sequins! The ultimate fabric that just screams: “look at me!” And indeed, we are – and captivated at that! The new WWE Women’s Champion offers up a variety of poses, too, which definitely adds to the success of this photo session. Gone are the days where Michelle would just stand still and look pretty. These days, she’s a bona fide professional in front of the camera lens, and the camera loves her, baby!

First up on this tall order of success is Michelle’s ability to turn an ordinary white backdrop within the arena, into an exciting couple of moments for her fans browsing the Interweb. Part of that success is attributed to her variety of fresh poses. There’s only so much one can endure before every photo session begins to look the same, and while Michelle may have fallen victim of such in the past, we’re glad that she’s making the effort to be as fabulous as ever. Along her journey, Michelle has also found a new signature pose, if you will – the ol “over the shoulder” glance. While it is a very sexy stance in front of the camera, it also showcases her envious arms. We love it, she owns it, and it’ll be unethical if she ever leaves it out of future photo sessions!

Michelle’s hair and makeup is once again a winning combination. She can never go wrong with dark colors around the eyes, as it suits well against her bronzed completion, and it even compliments her ‘heel character’ as a dark, mystique beauty. Keeping it interesting with her hairstyle is always a plus. So long as she stays away from braids and pigtails, she can hardly do any wrong. Though personally, I would have loved to see Michelle give MTV’s breakout star from the “Jersey Shore,” Snooki, a run for her money. Had she gone with that now infamous pouf, it would have added an extension to her confidence and would have made for an interesting touch to not only the photos, but the wardrobe as a whole.

Speaking of wardrobe, Michelle kills it. I’m not particularly fond of the WWE Divas dressing down for cameras or television (go hard or go home is my motto!), so whenever Michelle decided to leave the cotton and jeans at home she’s automatically got me wide-eyed. So when Michelle debut this feisty little number, my inner-fashionista was in complete mark mode. It’s the little things in life, le sigh. In a sequined vest with matching leggings, Michelle gives sportswear a whole new meaning. It’s her “look” enhanced, as I like to say. Michelle likes to stick to the basics, her fashion rule of thumb: simple chic. This wardrobe would be found in the ‘handbook of Michelle McCool’ right beside that term. Simple matching accessories, and you’ve got yourself a complete look. And because she was in action that night, Michelle’s wrestling boots even add for a nice touch. Would have I preferred stilettos? Of course! But if it works, it works.

If there were anything for Michelle to improve on from this shoot (and this is just us nitpicking now), we’d had to say be a little cautious with the mouth action. Not all photos are going to turn out very appealing with a hanging jaw and an open trap. Think Fashion, not Festus! All jokes aside, when in doubt, purse those lips. To be a little bit more playful and sexy? Bite down on your bottom lip. To look angry and dominant, scowl for the camera. And when all else fails, return to the basics: smile au natural.

A fabulous photo session, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Bravo, Mimi McFabulous!
