I’m going to wear my very best t-shirt.
From Michelle My Belle MinuteGal, Your Clothing Czar
At the National Mall for the Tea Party.......lots of walking so bring comfy sneakers, slacks or jeans, freeper cap or patriotic head wear, patriotic casual shirt or tee shirt, bottled water, tiny fold-up camp stools if you can find them, sunglasses, any pills you need, back pack is a great help, I got my lightweight one at Sears, it holds a ton of stuff.....a candy bar or two, a couple tiny American flags for waving. Check the long-range temperature forecast for D.C. to see if you need a windbreaker, sweatshirt or bikini at the rally. It can be warm or cool in D.C. in the Fall.
At the Sheraton Hotel During the Day.... sharp jeans or slacks, anything casual that can be described as "Freeper Nice".......you get my drift.
At the Saturday Night Banquet.......hey, anything "Freeper Extra-Nice" goes!
Men.......business suit with tie or nice sport coat with spiffy open-neck. Or spiffy casual shirt with spiffy slacks with no jacket. Short sleeves fine. Nice shoes. No white socks. Wear some bling, Why Not?.......Tuxedo if you want, Why Not? This is a BANQUET, for cryin' out loud. I know at least one freeper who'll be wearing a tux. Dig yours out and see if it still fits. Dontcha know how the ladies love tuxes? They swoon when you walk in looking like James Bond headed for the roulette table......Clothes at this event will be eclectic (look it up, hah). However, leave the golf shirt, sneakers and Che Gueverra tee shirt in your room.
LADIES.......always proper is a non-Hillary pants suit feminized and glammed up with higher heels, swingy earrings, jangley bracelets and sparkly rings. A Sarah Palin hairdo with your glasses will rock the room!....Hey gals, wouldn't you LUV to really dress up? Then do so! Why Not?......Wear that swingy short black cocktail dress with disgustingly high stiletto heels! Yum, Yum......Wear that ankle length Dressy-Dress? Yes-Yes........Before packing day is upon you, visit your safety deposit box at the bank. Take a look at the family jewels you never get to wear. BRING 'EM, WEAR 'EM! There's safes at the hotel. The more you look like an evil, decadent rich capitalist, the better!
MOBSTERS.......Since you are participating in the Mall protest, you are automatically a MOBSTER. Why not look like one at the banquet table? Of course, you MUST wear an expensive, three-piece, black pin-stripe suit, sumptuously tailored. Leave your wide-brimmed white or black felt hat and your roscoe at the door. Accent your suit with a white silk hanky and a slick tie with diamond stud. Finish off with pearl-gray spats, real leather black shoes, a jewel-studded platinum watch chain, a huge diamond pinky ring and a fat cigar imported directly from Havana.
MOBSTER MOLLS.......you must not outshine your mobster man. Anything Faye Dunaway wore in "Bonnie and Clyde" is fine as long as its fringed. Don't forget to bring your little pearl-handled revolver tucked in your beaded bag. How tres chic!
BRING CAMERAS!
