Caption the Monkey-suited resident and his velvet draped wife.
Didn't Pickles wear this outfit before? It looks vaguely familiar...

(sorry I don't know how to post the picture, but here's the link). Maybe someone more experienced can help?

10. Okay
Right click the picture at the news site. Select "properties" on the menu that comes up. Go to the URL that has the jpeg or gif ending. Highlight it, then right click on the highlight and select "copy". When you put up your post, then do your paste. The picture will come up after you post your message.

5. Extraordinarily clueless isn't Laura?
Or, maybe she doesn't give a rat's ass.

6. Gloves are probably de rigeur at
BP. Having said that, she could have picked a dress that went better with them. Blech.

19. Glove etiquette
Well, I'm not an expert.

But IIRC, light colored gloves (i.e. white and its varients) are proper evening wear. Yes, you take them off to eat.

Dark gloves, like black or the maroon which would match her dress are for transporting... riding a horse or carriage or a train.

21. ahh... ok. So, a less bulky, off-white or cream pair
would have been a better pair. It does look like somebody had to rush down to Woolworth to get a pair of gloves for Laura at the last minute.

28. Yes, off-white, cream
ivory and not opera length would have been fine.

9. If those gloves went any higher she could work next to Homer
at Burns' nuklur plant! Has she never heard no white after Labor Day?

8. That dress? I know you have to wear white gloves...but that dress
She should have worn something dark blue, velvet is not the way to go cuz she's shaped like a pear.

16. She thinks it hides her big, yummy ass....
I think it's been too long a dry spell. I saw the video of her clomping up the steps to AF-1 and got excited....

DoE: Jesus Christ! These people are F'ing MORONS!!!

18. This is so freaking horribly WRONG!!!!!
Seriously

First - White Gloves are usually something very appropriate to wear when dining with the British Royal family. But Pickles looks like she's wearing winter gloves - they look so bulky. And then she should have worn the gloves so they didn't overlap her dress. You can see how the Queen's dress sleeves have gap with the gloves and the gloves are a little more 'dainty' looking.

GEEZ that's an embarassment!!!!

20. That's my point
Laura has the wrong dress for the gloves.

How much you wanna bet the WH protocol person didn't tell her she'd have the wear evening gloves.

22. they really do look like lab safety gloves
rather than elegant dining gloves. She probably thinks they are going down to the Royal table for a slab of BBQ or sumthin' just like at the pig farm.

23. A full-length view of the dress
it is even more hideous than I imagined! It even makes the gloves look good in comparison.
Why can't she get a good fashion advisor? I'm available if she'd like to hire me...

24. It looks like none of the photos
I've seen are suitable for the 04 elections.

Every one of them has something wrong with it -
Phillip standing way far away or someone does not
look happy or * and the tranked wife are looking
at the camera but Liz and Phil are looking elsewhere.


Does anyone have the room to save each and every
photo from this 4 day debacle in order to compare
to the photos * uses in 04?
