Winklermania!

I love Mary Winkler! And I thought she was so cute right after the murder, too. She looked like a regular spitfire. Like she'd be fun to drink beer with, but hell on a rocket if you pissed her off.

She's not so cute these days, though. I think her defense team may have dowdied her up for the trial.

Or maybe she finally got to put on that twenty pounds her husband was bitching at her about. In her testimony today, she said that he was constantly criticizing and blaming her for things, including being too fat.

But that's not all! The best stuff today was Mary Winkler talking about how her husband made her, well...what was the exact quote?

Here we go! From CNN:

...made her watch pornography and wear "slutty" costumes for sex.

She also said he forced her to submit to sex acts that made her uncomfortable.

"There we go, honey! I'm done with my sermon for this Sunday. Time for you to dress up like a Summer Avenue whore and take it in the pooper!"

A wig and a tall, white platform shoe were placed on the witness stand during her testimony. Blushing crimson and staring at the floor, she said her husband bought them for her to wear to get him in the mood for sex.

"This is not about religion, but I suggest to you that a Church of Christ preacher's wife does not wear those shoes," Farese argued.

Well, she doesn't wear those shoes to church, counselor!

And CNN had a great picture of the accused on the stand, dabbing her eyes, with the alleged Trixie Shoe sitting right on the stand in front of her.

Just awesome, awesome small town gossip. It would have been better all around if they'd split up and then we'd found out the small town preacher liked his wife to dress up like a tranny hooker; dude wouldn't be dead then. Still, this is the juiciest Memphis-area Trial of the Century in a long time. John Ford will have to hustle to out-sexy this. More baby mommas! More Rolexes!
