Condi Rice on Global Best Dressed List
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has received a new honor -- a place on Vanity Fair magazine's International Best Dressed List.
The September issue calls Condi "immaculately groomed and formidably dignified "but with an audacious streak" in her choice of fashions.
"The black dominatrix boots she wore in Germany kicked up an international controversy.
Condi arrived at the Wiesbaden Army Airfield in Germany in February 2005 dressed all in black and wearing knee-high boots with a high, slender heel.

I like her. I really do and in fact I would like to see her president more than anyone else right now....
The Lady definitely has class.
*runs, screaming*
Mas serioso... pero, Condoleeza, despite the criticism from the chattering class, will orchestrate the ceasefire that will see the Foreign Legion return to Lebanon and the IDF on the Litani. This will be a feather in her cap.
She once said that diplomacy is the art of the hard...
She'll be President. Bet on it...
Be Seeing You,
Chris
It bothers me a little that the first thing I always notice about her is what she's wearing. Sometimes I wonder if there's more style than substance to the woman.

I respectfully disagree with you. she is accustomed to corporate attire since her days at Stanford and other State Dept. jobs.
She is credible, not dressing like some air head...
I think she's great.

Biography of Dr. Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor
On January 28, 2005, President Bush attended
Dr. Rice's swearing-in ceremony as the 66th Secretary of State.
Dr. Condoleezza Rice became the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, commonly referred to as the National Security Advisor, on January 22, 2001.
And grace too!
Who else is more qualified to deal with the War on Terror, than the person who helped define the image of the war we're fighting. National Security Advisor, then SoS Condi Rice. I sure hope Republicans give her a chance, because without a safe homeland, we can't have the freedoms we enjoy so much.
HalfBright??? You are one sick pupppy! Arrrrrgggggg
Condi is a brilliant woman and represents the USA extremely well.She is capable and formidable. The fact that she is a stunning woman who dresses beautifully, and appropriately,and is immaculately groomed,is a great asset.
Compare that to Slickette with her stringy hair,Mao pants suits.....
I completely agree. Added bonus? Unlike the much-hyped McCain and Giuliani, she's pro-2nd Amendment.
The thought of Condi running for President must have the Dims quaking in their not-even-half-as-hot boots.
;^)
Let's face it, the first thing most people notice about a woman is how she dressed (or undressed). That's just the way it is. Nobody really cares much that Cheney has sharp taste in suits or that Kerry looked like a stork wrapped in a sheet.
But we always notice what Hillary is wearing.
It's not enough of an issue to make anyone change a vote but it's going to be discussed until the human race goes blind.
I would die for the jacket I saw here on the news w/ yesterday!! A black and crream/white plaid. I was just thinking about how well dressed she was.
And I was wondering, does she have a personal shopper or possible someone to custom make her clothing. I mean, I doubt she has time to go check out the new fall line :-)
