election 2008 style thread

i thought she shoulda gone with one of the blues

yeah the orange pantsuit made me a little sad. Chelsea looked HOT though and just so perfect "my Mom, my hero.." in her curly pretty blondeness.

I thought the orange worked well with the obama blue background. Probably not as much with any other background, and she probably would have looked like a walking creamsickle, but okay in that instance.

there is no set of circumstances in which "orange pantsuit" is not a dud
except for perhaps when the alien conquerors demand "only those attired in orange pantsuits will be allowed to live" and even then it's still a dud for the future of the species

was she going for broncos colors or what?

thats the only explanation i can come up with, unless its some kind of insidious way to distance herself from the obama blue

that pantsuit is gorgeous

i mean, for a pantsuit

I wanna reitirate on this thread that the original reason I decided to get in the tank for Barack was because (I think in the NY'er profile?) some journalist said he might do for ties what Kennedy did for hats

ahmedinejad did it first

it's not the same with a beard, then you just look like a therapist

bill richardson couture

what about michelle's shirt? that blue with the shiny stuff in the middle? it was cute!

maybe hill feels she has to dress her age or something

i don't understand why it all has to be the same color

i really liked the brown w/ turquoise jewelry she had at one of the debates

i think she dresses better and more in-character now than she did during her early days as first lady

haha american apparel shades

shutup if you tell me that outfit isn't amazing there's something wrong in your head

Yes, my mother and her peers wore boiled wool jackets with long skirts all through that era. So? That doesn't make it a good idea.

"amazing" can be taken a few different ways

i am sorry ramz, i used to live in a building with inside hallways painted those exact colors and it made me frequently nauseous.

i want those glasses bad

how bout that cindy mccain? what is she lookin like lately?

she reminds me of the crypt-keeper.

YES. or sometimes when she's standing on stage i swear i get flashbacks of carrie at the prom

i mean she needs better makeup, really. whatever she's doing is not helping her pasty white complexion

it's the demonic/crazy eyes.

she has an amazing neck that makes we want to throw up

I like Hillary's style! She reminds me of my late grandmother.

was I the only one who the Obama girls made think of that early-season Project Runway designer?

Who else things Chelsea had some work done on the old schnoz?

I didn't notice, but her smile was frozen on during her dad's speech. Speaking of, who makes the dress she was wearing tonight?

oh, no, election stuff on my beloved style board? i already have to put in 40+ hours a week being a good team player

Cindy McCain reminds me of Lisa Marie's character in Mars Attacks.

OMG

<3michelle<3<3<3

orange pantsuit was good because it stood out

Not sure about Cindy McCain's dress. Actually, not sure about Cindy McCain.

there is some staggeringly bad dressing backstage here at the RNC, there is this one republican lady working here who has this selection of awful zip up skirt suits, that seem to be made our of swetshirts, terry cloth and reject 70s carpet.

sounds hot

you are backstage at the RNC? sounds like a treat.
i noticed delegations in the crowd yesterday with coordinated outfits.

wicked!

we need some laser beams shooting out of those reptile eyes.

brian that is insane

yeah no photoshop work there

she is a pilot, right?

she looked amazing at the debate last night. that hair.

someone really should have told cindy to brush out the hot roller marks. classy.

call me crazy, but i don't think that long, bleach-blond, 80s mall-girl hair is the best look for a 60-yr old.

first lady barbie!

i can't find a pic of michelle's dress, which i loved. i generally find her style too conservative for my taste, though she's always so well put together, but the debate dress was great!

yeah i liked the mall hair :) and michelle's dress was stunning!

i really liked this crazy ruffly sleeveless blouse michelle had on in puerto rico. also she wears this alaia belt quite often - A++

cindy looks good to me, i rather like the monochrome outfits in loud colors

mostly i am depressed to see entertainment news bulletins & magazine features on the battles of the women's personal style, yet again, while imho the best candidate is the woman who the super d's passed over

michelle's dress last night reminded me of a tamed down kenley creation

yeah that pattern was bananas

i can def see kenley in that dress

mostly i am depressed to see entertainment news bulletins & magazine features on the battles of the women's personal style, yet again

yeah, they should talk more about which guy's tie was more Presidential

that particular discussion is making no sense to me. john mccain was wearing a candy cane on his neck, why is that more presidential?

candy cane = Christmas = Barack Obama is a muslim

bahahahahaaaa

Over the weekend, Mr. Obama’s first in office, his aides did not quite know how to dress. Some showed up in jeans (another no-no under Mr. Bush), some in coats and ties.

So the president issued an informal edict for “business casual” on weekends — and set his own example. He showed up Saturday for a briefing with his chief economic adviser, Lawrence H. Summers, dressed in slacks and a gray sweater over a white buttoned-down shirt. Veterans of the Bush White House are shocked.

slacks/sweater/button-down is a pretty decent look for biz cazh IMO

as long as it doesn't degenerate to polos & khakis I'm cool

slacks sweater buttondown is my go to work outfit

this exact same story a thing at the start of the clinton admin, right?

bureaucrats in denim
death of democracy
etc
