Was he the kitchen-curtain-and-living-room-drapes designer? If so, good riddance.

Perhaps she can go into business selling a Michelle Obama™ brand of Boob Belts.

Michelle has thrown her under the bust.

She's another victim of the Obamoconomy.

Oops. “She”, not “he.” I thought it said “Mario” rather than “Maria.”

soft buying trends at the top end of the apparel market" contributed to her business woes.

In other words, nobody in her right mind wants to mimic the sasquatch.

That print should be called “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.”

Indeed...or "How to show absolutely no class whatsoever at a solemn ceremony of profound significance"

Even designing dresses that turned Michelle Obama into a fashion trendsetter couldn't keep Maria Pinto in business.

While I applaud the effort to keep more blind people gainfully employed, I think that there are simply jobs that they are not, and cannot be, qualified for.

Fashion writer is one.

“Does it occur to anyone in the fashion industry that having an ugly woman with a fat a— wearing one’s clothes was not a selling point?”

Reminds me of Jenny Craig using poor nutty Kirstie Alley as a spokesperson for a while.

Kirstie remained a blimp.

They switched to Valerie Bertinelli who does not age and looks incredible. Val has not aged at all and looks great in a bikini. She looks like she is in her late twenties to thirty something.

Agreed....and not exactly a great way to show solemn respect at a posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony, is it?

She has absolutely no class and is a further embarrassment to our Nation and to all who have fought and died on our Nation's behalf.
