But what is, these days? I'm watching Fox Business, Varney, right now, and generally you see lots of cleavage and tight, too-short, too-tight dresses and extreme, fetishized shoes, false eyelashes and too much makeup. This is business attire?
And I'm probably alone in that I hate, hate, hate seeing brides in strapless dresses. They look like playboy bunnies shaking their boobs around, not demure or decorous brides. Yet, every bride has to flaunt her boobs, her shoulders and bare arms at the altar. Yuck....
So, shiny fabric is not such an offense...
You are not alone. I feel the same about all you say, except your comment on shiny fabric. She is First Lady of the US at a time when the economy is broken and people are hurting. Dressing like she’s out on the town for a night of frivolity is not appropriate. What doesn’t show in the photo is the huge, sparkly clip, or pin, across the bosom. That bling, coupled with the satin fabric, was a jarring note against how everyone else was dressed. The dress (if long) would have been appropriate for an Inaugural Ball, not the SOTU.
