I’m thrilled today to have Presidential Candidate, Piper Bayard and her “space-saving” Vice-Presidential Running Mate, Kristen Lamb here at Glitter, Bliss, and Perfect Chaos!
I’ve had a ball following their no-nonsence campaign. Their campaign slogan is Finally, A Pair in the White House. (Get it?)
Before you read this interview, you might want to find out more about their campaign. This article is about Piper’s decision to run, and I’m in love with their Granny Health Care Plan. I wish all politicians were so practical!
Also want to give Piper and Kristen a big thank you letting us be part of their tour!!
The pair kicked off their tour at Jenny Hansen’s blog. One of my favorite questions was this….
What sort of Undies does The Pair favor?
We’re working with Spanx to develop the new Patriot Panties. They are a lacy hybrid of Granny Panties and Thunderwear, inscribed with the Declaration of Independence. They will have no room for a puppeteer’s hand to go up your back, and they are guaranteed to make all women’s butts look like Brooklyn Decker’s in the TSA scanners.
That question led to my first question.
We know about undies, but what will you wear over them? Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, not mention the President, spend big bucks on their wardrobes. How will you handle this issue?
Why would we need different clothes? We don’t want to change our outfits. Kristen wears an apron and yoga pants, and Piper walks around in her gym clothes all day. The mess this country is in, we think these clothes are appropriate for the clean up job we will need to do. If we’re meeting with foreign dignitaries we will change into pajama jeans with flats.
The reason the whole world thinks we’re so damn rich and they keep asking for handouts is because people keep dressing too nice for these meetings. If we show up in our scrunchies and stretchy pants and hit them up for coffee money, they may actually start solving their own damn problems.
Caveat: Anyone in Hollywood who wants to bitch about our policies will have to first buy us some clothes. We won’t take their hand me downs, though, because like most Americans we are not size 0.
How about State Dinners? We know it’s important to entertain at the White House, but with your reform, we think you would handle this differently. How would entertaining at the White House change when you are in office?
As mistresses of bitter sarcasm, entertainment at State Dinners will consist of roasting our guests. We know they can take a joke because, after all, they keep sending representatives to the UN.
I saw that you were not planning on redecorating the White House, what will you do with all that extra room?
We will make it an indoor shooting range.
We know that Airforce One is a necessity to keep the President safe when he is traveling, but we also know it must be very expensive. Will you use AirForce One?
Yes. Because it’s still cheaper than custom-made charter buses.
I noticed that you will fill the rest of your Cabinet positions with reality TV stars. We think this is brilliant. For the first time, most Americans would know the names of the cabinet members. We’d love to know who you would pick for a few of those positions. And can we request some great abs? Actually, we know of some women with great abs, but with no moral compasses or brain cells intact. (Their names rhyme with Car-trash-ian.) We’ve come to the conclusion that too much exercise kills brain cells. So while we appreciate a well-formed physique, we would not fill any cabinet positions based on that criterion alone. (editor’s note: we meant abs on guys 🙂 and we might suggest Joe Manganiello, winner of our abs contest somewhere in your cabinet.)
Also wondered about your big inauguration. Will it be a fancy black tie affair? Will you open up the White House lawn for tailgating when you win? Would you consider having the inauguration live so that voters all across our great country could tailgate, while watching it?
We’re not just going to have a live tailgate on the White House lawn, we’re going to have a Punkin’ Chunkin’ and let Congress catch.
Some harder hitting questions. I know Piper is a proponent of gun rights. What about things like legalizing marijuana to help get the country out of debt?
Considering the fact that this nation is facing an obesity crisis, legalizing a drug that will have them eating ice cream from the carton with no utensils and coming up with new ways to use a Fry Daddy at 2 a.m. might be a bad idea. We will table that discussion until at least 85% of the population regains a healthy Body Mass Index.
How do you feel about lowering the drinking age to 18?Many college campuses are for this. Do you feel our 18-21 year old soldiers should have the right to drink?
We would not make age-dependent drinking laws. Anyone with a military I.D. gets to drink. If you’re willing to die for your country, you get a beer if you want it. Anyone without a military I.D. must prove they are no longer living in their mother’s basement and that any and all child support payments are current before they are allowed alcoholic beverages of any kind.
I also wanted to share with you a grassroots movement on twitter to try and get June 29th, 2012 set as a National Holiday. The movie Magic Mike is premiering. There is a group of us that are planning to go to the Orlando area to meet and see this movie together. If you need a tour stop in 2012, why not see Magic Mike with us near the Magic Kingdom??
Sounds like a road trip! Would you like to babysit our children while we see that? By the way, our husbands say they get to go to dinner at Hooters to balance out the objectification.
We want to thank Jillian for hosting our Campaign Blog Tour Stop today. It’s been an honor.
If you would like to host the Foxie with Moxie Pair during their Campaign Blog Tour, please contact Piper atpiperbayard@yahoo.com.
We thank you for your support in helping us restore some sense to government.

January 10, 2012 at 18:54Seriously, I meant “the Speaker of the House” 🙂
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
January 11, 2012 at 09:17And thanks!! Glad you enjoyed the interview. Now if we can just get them elected. I really wanna party on the White House Lawn.
Angela Orlowski-Peart says
January 10, 2012 at 18:54I’m sorry I didn’t get to commenting sooner. I love it – this is the funniest interview I’ve read in ages. All three of you should run for the office! Jillian, would you consider the House Speaker position?
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
January 11, 2012 at 09:16No, I’m staying behind the scenes. I’m sure Holmes will be running the spy organizations, but I’m shooting for white house security. Basically if you bring us gifts that aren’t ticking, or you have great abs, you’ll probably get in.
Debra Eve says
January 7, 2012 at 22:05Just the platform this country needs! I agree with Jami. Each stance makes perfect sense 🙂
Jami Gold says
January 7, 2012 at 09:29I love your policies – such common sense approaches to the drug and drinking debates. *sigh* No wonder we haven’t heard these before–no common sense in Washington. 🙂
kadja1 says
January 5, 2012 at 17:09I am loving this! LOL
Author Kristen Lamb says
January 4, 2012 at 18:49Thanks for all the support and I hope you all will consider writing us in on your ballots. Feel free to use trashy red lipstick or Crayons just to be extra annoying :D.
patriciasands says
January 2, 2012 at 23:06Forget Iowa! The action is all with Bayard/Lamb and the more we hear, the more we know everyone else might as well just shut down their campaign and go home. Onward ladies!
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:22Iowa’s just a dog and pony show. We’re the real circus. 🙂 Thanks for your support, Patricia.
Gloria Richard Author says
January 2, 2012 at 20:46Tried to think of something funny to add, Piper and Jillian, but this post is a hard act to follow.
No. That was SO not a double entendre reference to Joe Manganiello’s reaction when he sees the Bayard/Lamb team in Pajama Jeans. Keep the campaign bus rolling. We can do this!
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:21Lol..We would politely not notice if that were the case, though we would probably purchase more pajama jeans. Thank you for believing in us, Gloria. 🙂
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
January 3, 2012 at 07:56I want a pair of pajama jeans now just at the thought of it!!
Tameri Etherton says
January 2, 2012 at 19:06Simply hilarious. Pajama jeans! Tailgaiting? This is definitely a new kind of presidency! Bring it on, I say.
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:20You doggone right. We’re tired of the taxpayers being stuck with the bill for wannabe royalty. That would not be us! Thanks for your support. 🙂
StoriesAndSweetPotatoes says
January 2, 2012 at 18:56This is fabulous. I’m completely on board. I think this can catch on in time to sweep Iowa.
I love that Joe Manganiello made it onto this post. You should work him into all your posts.
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:19Lol. That was Jillian who brought us that hunka hunka. Thanks so much for your support, Sara. 🙂
alicamckennajohnson says
January 2, 2012 at 16:53I love your drinking policy! It’s perfect.
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:19Alcohol requires respect, and the key to respecting others is self-respect. We’re just asking that people demonstrate some self-respect. Thanks for your support. 🙂
Kate MacNicol says
January 2, 2012 at 15:39OMG. I laughed and laughed. What a great way for me to start the New Year.
Kristen, Piper, Joe…. and Joe….thanks Jillian!
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:17Glad we could give you a smile, Kate. 🙂
David N. Walker says
January 2, 2012 at 12:32I’m extremely disappointed in you, Jill. Usually the objects of your posts display their abs, but I didn’t see Piper’s or Kristen’s anywhere. I think you’ve been watching too much Cornhusker football.
BTW, I loved the alcohol policy.
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:17Lol. We’re not running that kind of campaign. 🙂 We do, however, appreciate your support.
Natalie Hartford says
January 2, 2012 at 12:29Loved it…great interview and I’m still chuckling!
Piper Bayard says
January 3, 2012 at 00:16Thank you for your support, Natalie. 🙂
Barbara McDowell says
January 2, 2012 at 11:39Great, funny interview, Jillian! I’m glad their campaign tour is continuing. Makes far more sense then the pageant that is now heading to Iowa.
Piper Bayard says
January 2, 2012 at 13:58Thank you, Barbara. Our hope is that, as things get crazier with the two main parties, the contrast we offer will be more marked and people will start flocking to our banner. (Note to self: Make banner.)
Bayard/Lamb 2012 – Because We’re Not the Other Guys
Piper Bayard says
January 2, 2012 at 10:18Thank you for hosting us, Jillian. We will absolutely be considering Joe Manganiello for a cabinet position. If he is not actually qualified, we will give him a Chippendale’s “hot waiter” costume and assign him the job of serving our sandwiches during working lunch meetings. 🙂
It’s an honor to be here today. Thank you for your support.
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
January 2, 2012 at 10:34I wanna be in your lunches if that’s the case!!!
