Hillary Clinton Is Designer's New Muse

.c The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - Designer Marc Jacobs has a new muse, and her name is Hillary.

Jacobs, known for using ``Lost in Translation'' director Sofia Coppola to sell his line of casual chic clothing and accessories, has found new inspiration in an unlikely place: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Jacobs has designed a series of T-shirts with a print of the New York senator's smiling face superimposed on colors ranging from hot pink to dark brown, vaguely reminiscent of Andy Warhol's iconic series of Marilyn Monroe prints.

The hipster couture suggests the former first lady has come a long way from the headbands that were her original fashion statement.

For those who want to wear their support for the Democratic senator on their short-sleeves, the T-shirts cost a hefty $55 apiece. For those who want the long-sleeved version, the price tag is $60.

Friends of Hillary announced Wednesday it is selling the shirts over its Web site. They also are for sale in Marc Jacobs' Manhattan boutiques.

The "old bag" look is in?

[prion]

Thanks for not including pictures. That was thoughtful. But I just had to go look them up for myself.

Mmmm...no breakfast for me, thanks.

[basil]

Be still my heart!

Lordy mercy--and the awful thing is that this stuff will probably sell, and we'll be looking at this witch everytime we turn around!

[Trailerpark Badass]

Man, it's too bad money from these shirts will probably go to Hillary's slush fund, because some clever wit could have a lot of fun with them.

I wish he had designed some new pants for her. The ones she wears is getting rather crusty.

Oh my....I think I'm gonna hurl! Where was the barf alert???

Really? I was thinking more along these lines...

Isn't this more like it?

[xeno]

LOL! Che Guevara's image is on the back of the shirt!

[ErnBatavia]

You nailed it!...'Zackly what I was thinking...

[The Mayor]

Power hurl alert!

Isn't he the designer of five finger discount choice for Winona Ryder? $60 for a t-shirt of her? All dems are crooks! Now her ugly face will be walking down every red carpet event for Hollyweird, great.

2. The more polyester the better.
3. Don't make her look hippy.

Ah yes, the doctored photo from the cover of her book. Not even close. Watch for someone to get the real Hill on a shirt. Registered, are you taking this under consideration?

[Trailer Trash]

Bingo!

You forgot
4. Make sizes big enough for her lesbian suporters to wear.

I love that he is using the phoney picture from the cover of her book. You know, the one that doesn't look like her. I'm guessing some of the artistically talented people who post here will be able to come up with some other versions.
