The Funeral as Fashion Opportunity >>>
Edited on Wed Apr-06-05 03:52 PM by Stephanie


She's trying too hard. It's kind of sad, really.




US President George W. Bush (L) waves as he boards Air Force One with First Lady Laura Bush at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland.

4. But I bet the upholstery fit your car seats better...
Than this jacket fits Pickles.

11. She swings . . . and she misses! Again.
She really needs to do some time with the "What Not to Wear" duo. She could look significantly better if she had any taste whatsoever.

5. I believe she's wearing a uniform of earlier vintage...
Aeroflot 1949, perhaps?

7. It seems since the inaugaral (sp)
...the designer of her dress said it was designed to bring out the "beautiful blue of her eyes". Everything I've seen her in since is blue.

She took the compliment way to seriously IMHO.

13. This is twice I've seen this pic today - once was enough.
BTW, Robin was talking about Laura's chain smoking on Howard Stern this morning. Did anyone else hear that comment or heard it elsewhere?

18. Slightly off-topic question...
Doesn't that first picture look photoshopped somehow? I'm not a p-shop expert (actually I'm an total ignoramus) but many of the pics of those folks coming out of planes look weird... Laura looks cut out and glued onto the picture.

(It's a pretty hideous suit, but whatever...)

19. It's the blue-ness of the airplane
I don't recall a blue AF1 before, do you? I wonder if Rove had it painted for better photo-ops?

21. Now that you mention it
I think that's actually a 2D cardboard poster of Laura in the first picture. Bush seems to be holding it up with his left hand.

22. Actually, I think they look decent
Edited on Wed Apr-06-05 07:02 PM by LizW
I hate occasions when I have to wear something on my head, and I think what she's wearing with the black dress looks nice.

Bush's black suit and grey tie are appropriate.

Now the travel pantsuit, yes, that's ugly, but I would be hard-pressed to choose something suitably comfortable but not too casual for the occasion.

I'm going to have to cut them some slack on the fashions this time.
