Not A Joke: Melania Trump Wore A ‘Pussy Bow’ Blouse To The Debate

The wife of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared to wear Gucci’s “pussy bow silk crepe de chine shirt,” according to Marissa Mitrovich, founder of the Washington style blog Politiquette.

The blouse currently retails for $1,100 online.

However, it’s not the price that’s raising eyebrows. It’s the blouse’s name, given the disturbing audio released Friday in which her husband could be heard making offensive comments about women.
In the clip, from a 2005 interview, Trump boasted of being able to kiss women because “when you’re a star they let you do it, you can do anything. Grab them by the pussy, you can do anything.”

I think she may have actually done it as a middle finger to him. He seems to always want her dressed in skirts and plunging necklines. I think her pants, high neck and pussy bow were all in defiance of him.

BTW - when is she going to have that press conference again?

Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

I looked it up. Originally it was a "pussy CAT bow."

A pussy bow or pussycat bow is a style of neckwear often associated with women's blouses and bodices. It takes the form of a bow tied at the neck similar to those tied around the neck of kittens, cats, and the like.[1]

but Melania is a former fashion model, I'm sure she knows what the item is named.

And she would have to be incredibly stupid to not know that it would send a subtle message.
