Jacksons Color Coordinate For Molestation Trial


What's with all those bandaids?! Ever get the feeling Michael's not as normal as we all thought?

Also in attendance but not pictured in photo: Jermaine, Tito, Randy, Elizabeth Taylor, David Blaine, Marlon Brando's corpse, two white lions.

Who actually thinks about color coordinating outfits in preparation for a court date?

How does the "All White" conversation go?

Michael: I'd like us to wear all white?

Janet: I've got the perfect aviator glasses for that!

Latoya: And it is almost Labor Day.

Janet: So our window on white is closing.

Latoya: It's settled then.

MJ: I love you Fam!

What's up with Janet acting all goofy like the other two? Doesn't she know she's the normal one?

It may just be the contrast or it may just be because it's a digital photo. But the three of them don't look like they're actually "in" the picture. It almost looks as though they've been photoshop'd into the image. I'm not sure what that says about anything, but it must mean something.

Michael's weird bandaids make me think of a friend I have who uses nail scissors to cut away at the skin around her fingernails when she gets stressed out. They're all weird and callused now and kinda yellowish (combination scarring and smoking) and sometimes she has to wear bandaids because she cuts fresh skin (not the scars) and it bleeds a bit.

Cutting and plastic surgery addiction. Oh, Michael's a totally normal Hollywood guy. Anyone know his drug of choice? Just to round it all out?

they all have the same fucked-up alien nose.

who the hell is their plastic surgeon, and why is he allowed to live?

the bandaids remind me of the movie "SEVEN", and how the killer cut off his fingertips so he wouldn't leave fingerprints.

i remember hearing (maybe it was on the martin bashir documentary?) that he wears bandaids because the skin around his fingernails is still black like the black man he pretends not to be!

i don't get why it's only on one hand, though.

Finally! Proof that they really are three different people!

this is why I don't always like white clothes. see the woman on the left (technically in eggshell or cream?) - you can see the inner seams, not enough opaqueness. I wish the inner workings of white clothing could somehow be rendered invisible. hmmm, and the extreme over-tightness of her t-shirt is accentuated by the very-visible white folds. next court appearance, everyone must wear black!

Farnsworth Bentley should have been there holding the parasol along with Joyce Dewitt and "Rick" (not Ricky) Shroder. Janet is the normal one and she needs to distance herself from this "House of A Thousand Corpses" -ish carnival.

Even though I still think MJ is a bit of a wacko, I believe (I could be wrong) that he has some kind of skin condition that makes him break out or blotchy, so that's why he has bandaids. I don't know if that explains why his skin tone is 20 times brighter than his siblings but...

I don't care what anyone says about Janet... I'd still do her.

I guess the family assumes that if they dress all in white the universal conclussion will be they are as clean as the driven snow and angels descended from on high to suffer for the sins of many. Good Luck. And hey, where's Micheal's pseudo-intellectual frames that are supposed to help him look like he's taking the case more seriously? And finally, what's with the armbands? What do they represent?

This is the most publicity LaToya has gotten since getting beaten by her 80 y/o ex.
