The Videogum Why Don’t YOU Caption It? Contest: The Ladies Of Downton Abbey At A Modern Dance Party!
WHOA! Looking good, ladies! (Or should I say, BIRDS?!) These, of course, are the beautiful and/or homely women of Downton Abbey, depending on their social class. (The pretty ones are the rich ones, and the homely ones work for the rich ones, as is the custom.) It’s weird how Lady Sybil is way prettier when she’s dressed up in her Victorian dresses. Kind of makes you want to build a time machine and go back to the day before the Titanic (3D) sunk, AM I RIGHT FELLAS?! (It’s also not that weird. What is even UP with those pants? What is up with almost all of these outfits? England, explain yourself.) Meanwhile, no Maggie Smith? Shame on this otherwise perfect photoshoot. GIVE ME THE DOWAGER COUNTESS OF GRANTHAM OR GIVE ME DEATH!) What I’m trying to say is that I wish Lady Mary would Lady Mary me, and Lady Edith can still get lost. Doesn’t matter what time period she is in, she is a dud. Lady Sybil, as I mentioned, can go either way. And I don’t date servants. (The important thing to understand here is WHO WOULD GABE DATE?!) Now, caption this photo, blimey, innit! There are more captions to choose from than appropriate suitors for the would-be heirs to Downton if we lived in a modern society where you could split the blasted entail. If only it weren’t for this damned war! EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!
Winner will receive special mention in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. Oh dear. (Click image to enlarge. Via ONTD.)

The carpet matches my barf, if you know what I mean.
(I barfed my dinner on the living room carpet.)

Oh, it’s actually really easy.
Do a little dance, make a little love, Get Downton night.
So that’s a week-end!
“This fall, the Abbey ladies…go Downtown!”
I should work for an advertising company. I’m basically a 21st century Don Draper.
They could all get it.
I think I’m doing this wrong.
in England they call them extreme maid-overs!
Not pictured: comfortable shoes.
“Ending womens’ suffrage” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Which one is Ginger Spice again?
Which one is Susan Boyle?
In a rare move for television, the producers have actually hired very attractive ladies and dressed them up to play somewhat less attractive ladies. Let’s see if it works!
Okay ladies, the lunch cart is here. Raise your hand if you ordered the McRib.
But they’re not available in Britain. McJellied Eels, McYorkshire Puddings, McSpotted Dick and McFaggots however…
I’d prefer that the Jersey Shore cast were dressed in period garb. At all times.
They already are, oh wait you mean period as in time period
Right after this picture was taken Edith told everyone Mary had the clap. Mary is a soiled woman!
i’ve always wondered what marty and doc were looking at…
Uh, where is Maggie Smith, guys?!
Oh wow, oops, I should the entire post before I comment.
*I should READ the entire post before I comment. Goddamn, I just need to leave now.
You accidentally the comment.
Go to bed.
In the U.K., it’s called “Dancing With The Staurs.”
In the U.K. this is what they call a “lorry off”.
Emma Stone was unavailable for comment.
Some of those skirts are so short, you can see that their Upstairs/Downstairs match.
Also their Donna and Darkos match too. Sorry, Jeb.
This GIF is broken.
But I can only upvote this once
To be honest, I am not sure what ANY of this even IS. Time to retire from society I guess!
Guys, this Downton Abbey – Doctor Who crossover episode is going to be SO good.
Oh man, now I will long for that forever.
Forever. Or I’ll finally start writing fanfiction..
Wish I could photoshop a Victorian-era Skrillex into this photograph.
Not totally sure what Skrillex looks like but I think Victorian-era Gaga will work in a pinch:
What are those terrible glowing balls hanging from the ceiling?–Dowager Countess of Grantham
I would take Sybil to a Feminist protest soooo hard.
Branson’s not sure if he approves or disapproves of this photo.
Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
O’Brien’s not there because she’s backstage, preparing to ruin everything.
CHLOE
Sex pants none the richer.
Saturday Night Spanish Flu
By show of hands, who has seen Brett Ratner’s cocktail shrimp?
What a weird looking Kristin Davis, Amy Adams, Krysten Ritter, Dianna Agron, young Nicole Kidman, Candice Accola, Katherine McPhee, and Blair Waldorf.
Wow. “Spot on,” as they say in Britain.
I think those girls got 1914 wrong.
Is this an ad for Milton-Bradley’s Skank Chess?
I can’t get over the really prominent zipper on those gold pants…and the gold pants.
I’m sad at how late this was because its perfect in every way, and HO LEE Carson is looking fiiiine.
I’m more of a Bates man myself.
He can’t do much with that limp, though, if you catch my meaning (serving tea)
This is beautiful. Also I *totally* knew Mr Bates didn’t need that cane, the faker
The Dowager Countess does not abide.
“If you’re turning American on me, I’m going downstairs.”
Ain’t no party like a Crawley party ’cause a Crawley party don’t stop (until Mrs. Patmore accidentally puts salt in the pudding)
(Or until O’brien lays soap bars all over the floor & they all fall)
PS: No O’brien at all? Damn, everybody hates he.
Good point, where’s O’brien? or Elizabeth McGovern? This disco is ageist!
Am I the only one sincerely confused if this is suppose to be 1970′s or not? Is this modern (god help us)? Maybe the Disco-arms are throwing me off.
I know I’m late to the (disco apparently) party. I just started Downton Abbey yesterday…but I already love it!
THIS is a Week-end!
Raise your hand if you’re wearing knickers under your clothes.
This is a funny scullery.
