And you can start the countdown until diehard fans of P&R and/or awesomeness start getting Eleanor Roosevelt with a tasteful tattoo of Pat Benatar put on their forearms.Between singing our favorite Christmas anthem (hint: the one by Mariah Carey!), decorating our homes with festive trees, and preparing a cozy Christmas feast: Getting into the holiday spirit is a piece of cake. ![]() Sick Tats! That pawn shop would have made a great tattoo parlor. Lifestyle Guru! P&R can really hit a sweet spot satirically when it’s making fun of the pampered bourgeosie (case in point: Treat Yo’Self!), and Annabelle Porter, who looks suspiciously like an off-brand Jessica Alba and sounds suspiciously like an off-brand Gwyneth Paltrow, is on-point, with her needless, pretentious email blast celebrating the most essential non-essentials Pawnee has to offer.ĥ.
