Pickles: creative use of old car blanket

[emad]

I mean, who advises her on sartorial taste???

[rjbcar27]

1. That really is terrible

they should hire Trinny and Susanna!

[emad]

3. Close up. it's even worse

[fishnfla]

2. Why Pat Nixon of course!

Thats a respectable republican frock!

Man if the fashion mags turn on Pickles thats it, all hell's gonna break loose!

[soupkitchen]

4. How about a TV show: Queer Eye For the First Lady?

A special maybe: Dressing Laura Bush

[kanrok]

5. Looks like

a couch exploded. :puke:

[Throckmorton]

7. Lay off Pat, eer, Laura,

can't you see it is a "Good Republican Cloth Coat". Gee, I wonder if she has Checkers stuffed and on wheels. So that they can pull her aoround the east wing.

6. Look at the bright side.

That's not something you can just buy off the rack at most stores. (Thanking whatever deity is in charge of such things.)

[emad]

9. Thrift store reject?

Bet it's made of bullet proof material

[izzie]

8. I live in a glass house on this as clothing is so boring to me but...

Would be nice is she had more style.

10. "From the Laura Bush 'Herculon Collection'..."

Looks like the sofa in a friend's doublewide years ago...

[Catfish]

17. WHY???

She can't possibly like that material. It looks like what's on the old couches people put on their porches around here.

11. No one dresses the Bushes

George wears $1500-$2000 custom suits; any halfway decent men's clothier has stuff hanging on the rack, right now, that would look better on him.

Laura is a disaster. Nothing's right. Her hair's about six inches too short, her makeup is all wrong and her clothes look like they come from the Jesus Free Store. (Come to think of it, Dubya's makeup sucks too. He's probably like a little kid getting his first haircut when he's in the chair; the fidgeting he does makes the artist think, "okay, kill the shine on his face and I'm out of here." No way we should have seen the "pretzel" bruises; you can fix that easy on someone halfway cooperative. Didn't anyone ever tell Dubya that appearing on television is in the job description of a modern president?)

12. Maybe campaign '04 should be about fashion

Just keep running ads on the clothes the Bushes wear and maybe America will finally understand that these guys are mediocrities.

13. Stolen From A Calvary Horse

14. they're an ugly looking pair

to begin with and it is difficult to make silk purses out of a pair of sow's ears.
Yuk! :puke:

15. Where does she get her clothes. Little House on the Prairie wardrobe sale?

[Bridget Burke]

16. She's trying to follow in Jackie's footsteps

But keeps getting it wrong. Jackie Kennedy famously redecorated the White House in a historically elegant way but most of the decor was eventually relegated to the White House basement. Laura apparently discovered the remnants & has been recycling them--upholstery fabric for daytime, draperies for evening wear.

She needs to find an American designer to make her look good. She's not an ugly woman by any means.

Perhaps Trinny & Susannah of "What Not To Wear" could drop by while she's in Britain? After all, an episode of "Faking It" was just filmed in Buckingham Palace--"Reporter to Footman in 30 days--even the experts were fooled!"

18. a visit to Nieman Marcus

would not hurt
