Ellen’s Sofia Vergara Costume Covers All the Bases

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: | Updated on November 1, 2012 CommentsComments (0)

Ellen’s Sofia Vergara costume was an absolute hit for her Halloween episode.

Ellen’s costume was Vergara’s complete 2012 Emmy’s Zuhair Murad look, down to her wardrobe malfunction that exposed her rear.

Ellen greeted her audience in her best Colombian accent, “Muchas gracias everybody, muchas gracias, hola! My name is Sofia Vergara. I am easy breezy beautiful CoverGirl from Colombia. Happy Halloween. As you can see, I put my pumpkins out.”

Ellen continued poking fun at Vegara’s many jobs. “I like being Sofia Vergara, but it’s hard being this beautiful. I’m so busy with CoverGirl and Diet Pepsi and Burger King and my clothing line [and] the award winning Modern Family. I get so much work with this fake accent. People think it’s real.”

Luckily for Ellen, everyone was laughing…including Vergara herself who emerged to surprise the audience. The “Modern Family” star stated in Spanish, “She wishes she had the body I have. She wishes she looked like that!” After much back and forth and Vergara’s failed attempt at teaching Ellen Spanish, they both opted for something the talk show host does well….dance.

Sofia thought Ellen looked “ridiculous” in her costume. But we must ask…it’s Halloween after all…who wore Sofia Vegara best?!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
