We could be wrong (doubtful, we have SUCH an eye), but we think Michelle Obama was again wearing Chicago designer Mario Pinto as she entered the White House this afternoon for a visit with her husband with President Bush and First Lady Laura.
Bright red, very Nancy Reagan, and we thought she looked simple, elegant and smashing. No big jewelry.
SUCH A TOTAL improvement over that election night Narcisco Rodriquez, which looked so soccer mom with a cardigan. If you have arms like hers, you show them off, even if it’s chilly. And girl, wear some heels. Those one and a half-inchers do not do you justice, especially in good clothes. Rock the heels, k?
And good work today. You can totally do the right thing when you try.
While we generously give Michelle Obama a B-minus on her unusual red and black dress, our pal Court throws up a C-minus, saying she just didn’t get it.
We do give the Obama family props for their fashion coordination, down to Barack’s red tie. A little matchy, yes, but overall, they looked good up there as a unit. Confidence is always THE BEST accessory.
Loving the Cindy McCain messy chignon. She went to the polls so glamslam we were sick with glee!
Michelle Obama was fronting a more soccer mom look with her hair pulled back in a ponytail and headband, dressed down in all black. Not a good look. Quite the fashion letdown.
We predict, however, that Michelle will be fabulous tonight at her hubbie’s Chicago celebration.
It would probably be a good thing if GOP nominee wife Cindy McCain didn’t wear any more leather.
It looks dated and not very chic, kind of like someone wanting to look young. With the age-inappropriate Barbie hair, the leather is just over the top.
Great body. A very beautiful and hard-working lady who hasn’t gotten enough credit for her business moxie and charitable generosity, but she’s off the tracks fashionwise. We’re sure it’s designer and expensive, but it’s a little too Spiegel catalogue/new money-Jersey housewife for us.
MEOW
Says our Sarah to the Chicago Tribune: “I think Hillary Clinton was held to a different standard in her primary race,” Palin said. “Do you remember the conversations that took place about her, say superficial things that they don’t talk about with men, her wardrobe and her hairstyles, all of that? That’s a bit of that double standard.”
“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” Palin said.
THE STORIES ON HER $150,000 WARDROBE ARE WRONG.
Those comfortable-shoe-wearing trogs who are all over Sarah Palin about her campaign wardrobe spending should get a life. Hillary spent a pile on clothes. It’s just that she’s not in shape, has very little fashion sense and picked things that were not attractive.
These leftists are just angry because Sarah looks good in her clothes. If she were some dowdy feminist, they’d stand down. How much you think Nancy Pelosi pays for her Congressional wardrobe?
Let us answer our own question: A SHITPILE. She’s wearing as much designer apparel as Cindy McCain. And yet, why aren’t they screaming that she’s sending the wrong message?
We are incensed! Pelosi is up there in Washington spending our money on funding losers on Wall Street. And doing it wearing six-figure rags. It just so happens that they are sexless and she’s someone’s grandma. And Sarah. We’ll…..she’s hot.
AS IF.
We decided to make the great and mannered fashion guru our new de facto father.
He’s genius, he’s to-the-point, but he’s also nice. And he knows clothes.
We all need fashion parenting. We really do.
One of our favorite queens — not a queen like Madonna, but you know what we mean — has passed on to that great atelier/runway in the sky.
Mr. Blackwell was 86. And that’s like 250 in fashion years. We will miss his vicious fashion discourse and worst-dressed commentary. He was usually spot-on. Mean, but spot-on.
He was iconic. And isn’t that what we all strive to be.
Of course it is.
