I always forget to visit Karla’s Closet, but when I returned recently I was struck by how often Karla is enjoying a private joke with herself. She just cracks herself up!
What is the joke?!? It looks like a good one.
She’ll be posing in her outfit with a composed expression, often a pensive one actually, And then, BOOM, the joke hits her and she has to cover her mouth to keep from guffawing.
The joke usually hits her when she’s sitting down, or maybe the intensity of the mirth forces her to sit.
I like a fun girl, don’t’ you? Why be so serious all the time! Karla seems to know that life is short, like her hair, and not to be wasted by covering her legs. She is obviously an empowering role model and good for her. But I’m intrigued by the mystery of the joke. Share it with the whole class, Karla!
I love Karla, she’s such a cute little thing and I love her hair and how she’s not Rumi-thin and thus devoid of all joy, and how she seems to be having fun and how she looks like Molly Ringwald.
Karla’s got cute legs. Not a fan of her style, though, unless she’s wearing them high-waisted jeans.
RedHeadFashionista- I always thought she looked like Keira Knightley with her sunglasses on!
nats- I wasn’t around for Blog Wars, Episode 1, but I’ve never disliked Rumi or Karla. There are others who deserve to be properly raked over the coals, but these two aren’t among them. I respect them for their open comment boxes and their thick skins. And it’s daft that Karla can even be vaguely thought of as plus-sized, she’s probably very slender in real life- what with cameras adding 10 pounds and all- and has an ass and thighs.
Also re: Rumi, given that everyone’s citing how skinny she is, it has to be said- she wasn’t this thin back in 2008, I remember actually commenting on one of Queen Michelle’s posts about her saying how much I admired her legs- they were still slim, but more “I go hiking every day” than “I have been stressed out for six months on top of being half-Asian which might genetically predispose me to being thin”.
I don’t always love what Karla wears, but I think she’s cute and has a fantastic body and most importantly, she seems to have a lot of common sense. She was in one of those one-hit wonder girl groups as a teen, so she’s a dancer – hence the muscular legs and extra spending money. I also like how she’s close to her family and is actually going to school as opposed to others coughjanecough.
my favorite part of that video was when Jane said she was “repressed” in public school. as a 15 year veteran of those institutions, I can say that whatever their other faults, they are way more diverse than any private school I’ve ever seen!
CR – REALLY?? Which girl group??
Well, I do think she has massive legs for the type of clothes she wears, So what?
I do not care if she does sports, if she’s dancer or if she was just born like that , she will still have massive legs for those skirts and shorts she favours. I think her solid legs are actually fascinating in a weird way. Unfortunately Karla is not as fascinating as her massive legs and after seeing one of her vacuous interviews, i was cured from visiting her blog.
I find it really funny how this vapid girl won the hearts of the sisterhood just because she weights 5 more kilos than the other vapid bloggers.
Sister,it’s official you could say you drown kittens as a hobby and still your readers would applaud you, but if you dare mention anything that may be remotely associated with the word “fat” and you are the devil incarnated. I just wonder sister, when did fat became the most negative thing you can say about someone? And isn’t the fact that a lot people are so offended by it, sort of a paradox?
For a really fat and really well dressed, totally ready to receive your pity, at least you could visit the wonderful.

Constance – I feel you, I didn’t make this rule, the one where you can’t call someone fat. I called Jessica Simpson fat, so I know.
Karla’s legs are much bigger than I would be comfortable with. I am not an admirer of her legs. People seem very defensive about this, probably (just guessing) because she is shaped more like an average female than Roomy et al.
Let me say this: If you started a blog called Massive Legs, and you asked for contributions, I might send you a link to Karla in her pink chiffon mini prom dress.
Okay?

like I said, one hit wonder group!
CR – SHIT!@)#*$&#(@)(@! I’m watching their them on youtube and I can’t stop! This changes everything (I’m not sure why though!)
Vanity thy name is Karla. Seriously, anyone who just swans about all in day in moronic outfits getting people to take pictures of them is officially a total wanker. I have massive legs too, getting them out isn’t a bloody talent.
Constance, I have a similar opinion to yours, and excuses “she was a dancer/sportsman” or other astronaut (always some kind of ambitious excuse, like naturally thick legs don’t normally exist) won’t make them appear thinner. My point is to understand nobody is perfect, name the things as they are, and accept it. Embrace it. I don’t mind she is wearing short skirts giving comfort to many, but negate the facts is ridiculous.
Wow lets all post pics of our legs shall we? Id be suprised if any of you guys have better legs than her. I wasnt aware that chicken legs were required to look good in a skirt. God, get a grip.
slutface – While I know it isn’t nice to critique a person’s legs, I think in the case of a blogger who enjoys showing them off, her legs are fair game. She appears to be very happy with her legs! ME, I’d rather keep mine covered up.
Your opinions on thighs are interesting, given the size of Karla’s gams had not previously registered on my radar. As an owner of truly chunky legs I think hers are perfectly lovely – their shape reminds me a little of Leighton Meester. And I love Leighton Meester.
Phew. Glad I could get that off my chest.
