So we’ve sadly endured a 2 week absence of any Emma Pillsbury on our screens, and I think it’s about time the Glee writers devoted an entire episode to our cardigan-clad cutie! There was an episode for Brittany, several for Kurt, and I think we need to see one whole hour devoted to Miss P!
And to make it easier on the Glee writers who seemed very focused on other matters at McKinley, I’ve taken the liberty (a la Rachel Berry) to come up with a few Emma-themed episodes! Take your pick, Ryan Murphy. Make WWEPWers happy!
Gone with the Windex
In this episode, we see the life of Miss Pillsbury in her home, with its perfectly arranged furniture and vintage-inspired décor as she invites Sue over for dinner.
Cardi-Girl
Emma decides to take the Cheerios shopping for a new wardrobe since most of them spend all day in their uniforms. Hilarity ensues when Brittany causes a ruckus at the J. Crew store and Quinn and Santana catfight in Emma’s car!
A Very Pillsbury Thanksgiving
Emma invites Carl over for Thanksgiving, but while on a last-minute run to the market to buy marshmallows for her sweet potatoes, she runs into Will, spending Thanksgiving alone, and decides to invite him over. OH NO, AWKWARDNESS!
I think I speak for all of WWEPW when I say that I don’t care if she’s on a train, in the rain, on a boat or in a tree, give us our Miss Pillsbury!
Aaaaaand we're back! Episode 2 of Season 2 marked the return of Emma to our screens! And that means another installment of Making Up Emma! Also more fun with screencaps!
We already got to fawn over Emma's new outfits, but here's where I give my take on Emma's hair and makeup. I was so excited to see her (and her pamphlets!) again!
Emma's got a new hairstyle! Gone is the stiff, perfectly styled bob of season 1, here we get soft curls and no more swoosh! :( A lot of people I talked to liked her new style, but I miss Awesome Bang Swoosh.
And then I realized WHY it's gone: Only Will can make those bangs move like that! Dr. Howell can do many things, like fill a cavity (dirty!) or root a canal, but he cannot make Emma's bangs do their special swoosh.
You know what he can do? Ruin her makeup.
Emma doesn't stand for this!
But Emma doesn't stay mad for long. Unfortunately for Will.
And did anyone else notice how Emma seemed to be SO bothered by Will's singing?
In the car...
And in front of the school...
I mean, okay, Will had some weird tribute to the Little Tramp going on. That was strange. Nothing makes me think of silent films like Britney Spears.
Remember when Emma used to have eargasms at Will when he sang? I do, I memmer...
It's a Bold New Emma this season! Mixing up grapes, not being hypnotized by Will, wearing curly hair. Who knows what changes lie ahead for our sweet Miss P!
Are you ready, Will?
Alright wwepw-ers, who misses the old Emma hair? Who likes the new 'do? Show of hands!
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for another WWEPW mash-up of MS Paint & Glee!Only 38 days until our Gleeks are back with more fabulous clothes! We’re almost there!
Making Up Emma: Summer Rewind
Mash-Up 1.08
Mash-Up gave us some awesome and adorable Will and Emma scenes. And it also gave me some awesome makeup scenes!
In this episode, Ken and Emma’s wedding is looming overhead like an appointment for wisdom-teeth removal. You know it must be done, but you are dreading it all the same. Emma decides that she and Tater Tot need dance lessons to impress the zero people invited to their wedding and she asks Will to help them “mash up” their incompatible and totally symbolic wedding songs. Will agrees.
Before he helps Emma, Will performs a song for the Glee kids. Why don’t you take a seat over here, Will…
Finn and Quinn are having some rough times at school and they go to Emma for advice. Emma always knows what the cool kids are doing.
As she’s helping Finn and Quinn, Will stops by her office to confirm their dance lesson later on.
His cute little smile and sexy sunglassesmake Emma forget what she was saying momentarily, but she snaps out of it and remembers she needs to call her cousin Betty! Betty has a dress for her to borrow so she can see what it feels like to dance in a giant cloud of 68 yards of fabric, just like a princess!
Will sees Emma in her Epic Dress of Epic and is confused. She explains to him that her stupid cousin Betty was all “omg it would be cute!” and Emma was all “omg you sure?” and Betty was like “um yeah duh” and Emma was like “omg okay then” and there she was, face to face with Will, looking like an exploded cream puff.
And then we have the Thong Song.
Can I just say that the students of McKinley High have to be the most oblivious group of teenagers on earth? I can’t smile at a fellow teacher without nosy teenagers making faces and noises at us, but at McKinley, you can have screaming matches, kiss and do weird dances in a giant wedding dress and nobody ever notices!
Will asks to see her thong, and tells her she has thighs like “what ,what, what.”
GET IT PILLSBURY.
Of course, clumsy Will trips and dainty Emma lands right on top of him. In real life, he would have smashed his skull open and she would have broken her femur after accidentally elbowing him in the nose. But this not real life, this is Glee.
Seriously kids, what do they look like they’re up to? Exactly.
Right. On. Top.
And Kin happens to see it all! Uh oh. Will tells Emma she needs a new dress. Emma asks Will if that’s a roll of lifesavers in his pocket.
So Will accompanies Emma to a bridal shop so she can try on a designer dress for her wedding during lunch hour and while they’re at it, they can give the other customers a performance!Cue Emma’s song accompanied by the most awkward close-ups in television history:
Closer.
CLOSER.
OMFG CLOSER I SAID.
I love Emma Pillsbury but I felt kind of weird being up in her grill like that. But what a cute, clean grill it is. But look at those great lashes! It’s a very Marilyn Monroe-esque approach to lashes, heavy on top and bare on bottom
After all that, Will still cannot figure out how to mash up those songs. He tried so hard, too. Gosh, even Dawson tried
.
Emma understands. It’s going to be very hard for her to mash up her life with Ken’s, but this is what she’s going to do. Sometimes, things don’t just blend together seamlessly. Sometimesyou have to do it by slamming into each other from opposite directions at 90 mph.
Sometimes when I’m a little sad, I put on the itunes, and I watch Glee. And I pause scenes at moments like the ones above, and it makes me chuckle a little. Does that make me a butthead? Yeah, it does.
I loved Emma’s lipstick in this scene. That sweet, bright pink is just perfect on her. Where I normally fawn over her lashes, in this scene, her lipstick won.
AND THAT WAS MASH-UP: THE REWIND! Cousin Betty’s Epic Dress of Epic thanks you for your time!
