Nike hearts Ellen; also Portia on Ellen’s show
Two quick things:
SImilar to Ellen's Nikes
One, Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi both just received custom Nikes from the company as wedding gifts, and Ellen showed the audience her new kicks on her show. How cute! Go Nike, for being pro equal rights marriage! Nike is given the highest rating of 100 on HRC’s 2009 Buying Guide.
Two, Portia is going to be on Ellen’s show this coming Monday, March 16th. Again, I say how cute! This is the first time Ellen’s wife will be a guest on the show, and it’s telling of progress the show has made in its years of airing. The first few seasons of her talk show she referred to Portia only in passing and as her ambiguous ”partner.” It wasn’t until a couple of seasons in that Ellen started referring to her explicitly and affection.
Now Portia will be on the show. I can’t want to see how they handle her appearance.
Ellen and Portia
