Condoleezza Rice: Dominatrix of State?

Condoleezza Rice's Commanding Clothes

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived at the Wiesbaden Army
Airfield on Wednesday dressed all in black. She was wearing a black skirt
that hit just above the knee, and it was topped with a black coat that
fell to mid-calf. The coat, with its seven gold buttons running down the
front and its band collar, called to mind a Marine's dress uniform or the
"save humanity" ensemble worn by Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix."

As Rice walked out to greet the troops, the coat blew open in a rather
swashbuckling way to reveal the top of a pair of knee-high boots. The
boots had a high, slender heel that is not particularly practical. But it
is a popular silhouette because it tends to elongate and flatter the leg.
In short, the boots are sexy.

Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile
combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything
but scandal. When looking at the image of Rice in Wiesbaden, the mind
searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to
caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix! It is as though sex and
power can only co-exist in a fantasy. When a woman combines them in the
real world, stubborn stereotypes have her power devolving into a form that
is purely sexual.

Stepford of State straddles the Monkey for that Apocalyptic journey.

heheh....pats self on back.

LOL.....Demonatrix.....consider it stolen.

p.s. I only steal from the best.

:D

I figured her up-tightness was from not being sexual enough!
That girl needs to get laid...but whom? Yuck.

p.s. this is NOT a sex thread..."locking"...}(

Tell me I'm not the only one who noticed this.

Rice looks as though her face is caught in a state of permanent scowlage-- hardly someone who should be considered as a setter (or even an exalted follower) of fashion trends.

Women of various shades and stripes wear to work pretty much what Condi had on, boots and all, every single day here in New York -- and probably every other urban environment around the world.

Why hasn't anyone pointed out we're bringing "our full sexuality" to our jobs and applauded us for it!

What a drooling snow job this article is.

Here's a paragraph I didn't include, in the interests of not violating "The Four Paragraph Rule":

My point is the writer seems to be drooling all over Condi as being powerful and sexy for wearing an outfit women wear every day -- it's like my wearing slacks, something women have been doing for years, and being hailed as wildly "innovative" for doing it.
