Channeling Diana Ross?

Those pics have it all - a sweatshirt dress AND a boob belt - what a fashion icon!

The idiot journalists are too young to know what Jackie looked like and too dumb to look up old pictures, they are trying to convince the other dummies that M looks like Jackie, they think just because they say so it MUST BE SO.
yikes

I figured it was, I just haven’t seen it. :)

I wore a gunny sack dress in 1976 for my junior year homingcoming dance. They were the rage 34 years ago.

I could say something but it wouldn’t be nice so I will use extreme self control and keep my thoughts to myself.

[Indy Pendance]

I’m from the old school. That gray dress would have failed my junior high home ec class. PS, I know french curves AND seams.

This is a brilliant costume for Halloween. Our First Mermaid.

What’s with the macrame on the back of her cream colored dress? It actually doesn’t look bad from the front, but it looks like she could hitch a few horses with the ropes all down the back. Can’t she wear anything NORMAL???

Also, the pantsuit — she should have worn a solid color on top, and the dress part should have only been knee length. Not a bad idea, but the patterned, too-tight, too-long dress doesn’t work.

Ever see two people less comfortable saluting our flag?

He looks like somebody stuck a rod up his spine.

[Yaelle]

I always loved that episode!

[Yaelle]

She looks great here.

Why didn’t she wear one of the wigs in India? This animal patterned dress is perfect, other than being a mite casual. But it suits her very nicely.

BO has a spine? Source, please.

[Bellflower]

Did you ever notice how Owebama lifts his chin OFTEN like he's so great and important.

Ala Mussolini.

[Bellflower]

The dress would not be horrible without the really ridiculously uncalled for pants but it would need some jewelry to brighten it up so that it didn't look nasty in a scary,dreary bloody black sort of way. She likes to wear black and red which symbolically signifies death and evil. It's not just the colors but how they are designed into her outfits.

[Bellflower]

BO has a spine? Source, please.

You might be right. Maybe that's what the rod is for, to hold him up. It might also be the location of the controls used by his puppet masters.

[two23]

Vulgar is the word that comes to mind.

[Mamzelle]

Yeah, but you recognize what it is? How many people would know that who aren't designers or working for one? Even designers these days don't seems to know how to fit a bodice to a form. This is a dress lining or interlining turned wrong side out.

It's like an insider's joke. "Look what we can get this dumb box o' rocks to wear"--
