So, what will Laura, The First Fashion Disaster, Wear to the Funeral?

[elehhhhna]

Suggestions, please.






She makes Yeltsin's wife look like Cindy Crawford.

[UCLA Dem]

1. A potato sack might be an upgrade.

[Bluebear]

2. Well, her Teahouse of the August Moon/Dr Evil P.J's ARE handy

[elehhhhna]

3. Where's GW's Dr. Evil Members Only Matching jacket?

[rodeodance]

4. well, she will be competing with Jr's other wife -as Condi will be tagging

along--and many say she is good dresser (condi)

[Merope215]

8. I know, right?

That must be a weird dynamic between the two of them... :crazy:

[htuttle]

9. I wonder if Condi is going to wear those black thigh-high boots...

...with the big spiked heels again to the Vatican?

[rodeodance]

6. look at Jr. trying to get attention in the last pic (my view of it anyway)

[Dave Reynolds]

5. I'm sure that she has a few rooms

in the WH with curtains that haven't been used yet.

[xchrom]

7. bed spreads

i swear she used the curtains for the last inaugral.

[Dave Reynolds]

10. Whoops, I forgot the fashion rules,

curtains in the winter and bed spreads in the spring.

My bad.

[bamademo]

34. Shades of Miss Scarlett

Wearing the drapes to see Rhett.

[Bunny]

19. That's what I was thinking. How about these from the Green Room?

Or maybe these from the State Dining Room?

[Dave Reynolds]

22. She could use both

for a nice pantsuit.

[MissMarple]

26. Nope, it has to be black. Being it's the Pope and a funeral.

I don't care what she wears. I'm just sorry the Pope is dead.

[paineinthearse]

11. Maybe she could borrow Condi's black gestapo uniform

The one she wore to Weisbaden

[Malva Zebrina]

12. Probably something black and tight around the butt and wrinkled

and that would be a blessing because all the buttons and bows will not be that much visible and we would not have to be embarrassed for her--again! She may wear beige shoes though. We will however be treated to her very fake "sad" face throughout the whole photo op.

[wryter2000]

13. She'll borrow clothes from the Veep

I hear his parka and ski hat are available.

[reality based]

27. But it's spring

and his Hawaiian shirt is still at the laundry.

[LeftyMom]

14. The only curtains left in the white house

The staff can get the mildew off with a little tilex.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

15. I don't know

but I'll bet it has giant buttons and fits her like a beer cozy

[Bluebear]

16. Hey Laura, Chez Abu Ghraib

Tt's black, it has a veil, it speaks to your husband's legacy.

[Just Me]

17. I don't give a shit. *blah* Why should I? n/t

[Technowitch]

18. Whatever it is, I can guarantee it'll be polyester

(eom)

[DearAbby]

20. How about this little number? Or could be too risque'

[Eloriel]

21. It's so disappointing to me

to see DUers descend to this level of sexism. And I find it downright appalling -- no, make that heartbreaking -- when it's a woman initiating it, and women participating in it.

She makes Yeltsin's wife look like Cindy Crawford.

A lot of women worked really hard a number of decades ago to get the discussions ABOUT women elevated well above that. Are there "more important" feminist issues? Yeah, probably, but they're all part and parcel. If the best you can do is relate to prominent women (whoever they are and however loathesome) on the basis of their "fashion sense," you are demeaning and trivializing ALL women, and giving permission and sending strong signals that it's perfectly okay to further demean and trivialize ALL women -- including sexually, which is the next step in the objectification continuum.

There are SO MANY valid, non-sexist reasons to criticize Laura Bush. How sad that you have to resort to this one.

[elehhhhna]

29. She dresses like a goofball. Sorry, but it's true.

[Padraig18]

23. Which White House draperies are black?

:P

[AlCzervik]

24. The cushion covers from my patio chairs are missing!

i bet she made an outfit from them!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. Jackie Kennedy must be spinning in her grave.

But Pickles doesn't actually look like something the cat dragged in because no self-respecting cat would drag her anywhere. Just bury her clothes in the litter box, maybe.

[Bluebear]

28. A festive little number

[KamaAina]

30. The stuff they used to shoot that Madonna video

you remember, the one that had the Church up in arms.

That's what her husband** will suggest, anyway. :dunce:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

31. Anybody remember Carol Burnett dressed as Scarlet O'Hara

in the green draperies? Picture that only in black.

[Bluebear]

36. Like her "Western" inaugural gown....

[tinfoilinfor2005]

43. and the zebra and emu standing to the left of her

[peekaloo]

32. something in RED.

[alcuno]

33. Did anyone see Daryn Kagan's outfit on CNN today?

I could swear she was wearing a gold blouse beneath a brilliant red cape. She looked like she was dressing like the Pope.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. Gross. But maybe it makes her main squeeze, Rush Limpballs, hot.

To which I say: :puke:

[DoYouEverWonder]

37. Will this do?

[pinkpops]

38. something LARGE

[Bluebear]

39. Is green out of the question?

[pinkpops]

45. Yes, green, with

a low center of gravity.

[Jack Rabbit]

40. I know it will take a lot more, but a good start for her would be . . .

. . . to lose that arm accessory of hers. It doesn't do anything for her.

41. If the stories about il Papa not being embalmed are true

a gas mask.

[Stinky The Clown]

42. She and Condi will be roomies ... she's wearin' Condi's bitchboots ... as

gloves. Condi's gunna lead 'er on a leash. They're headed to Amsterdam for the Pervert's Ball after the Rome do ... while monkeyboy does Gameboy and beer at the pig farm this weekend.
