ANOTHER laura bush* fashion failure (PHOTOS)....so embarrassing

[diamond14]

the designer of THIS abomination should be FIRED immediately!
....pickles EMBARRASSES the USA with her appearance, better that she stay home with her cigarettes/booze/Xanax....that's the major problem with all the bushites, they surround themselves with INCOMPETENT people....

"I like fashion; it's fun," Mrs. Bush told reporters after the show, which included 26 dresses by 26 designers worn by 26 celebrities of varying fame, from Paula Abdul and Sarah Ferguson to the children of rock stars and models. Mrs. Bush applauded each look as it passed by and told those seated near her, one of them said later, that she needed to acquire more red outfits.

1. I could give a flying flip about fashion...

...but even I, a man with no good taste whatsoever, can see how horrible she dresses.

[llmart]

2. Re: the third picture

Once, on the Carol Burnett show, Carol did a spoof on "Gone With the Wind" where she pulled the drapes off the window and made them into a dress. It was hilarious when Carol did it. However, the dress in the third picture looks just like those drapes. Hideous!!!

[diamond14]

4. I think Carolina Herrera did BOTH: red outfit & the 'boots' ball outfit

:puke:

[alittlelark]

8. Herrera MUST be a closet Dem trying to make her look bad.

I mean... Damn !!!

[CTyankee]

14. Herrera designed Caroline Kennedy's wedding dress

and we copied one of her designs for my daughter's wedding dress. They were just beautiful, very simple and elegant.

Now I don't know what to think could have happened to her with those atrocious creations for Laura Bush. Maybe she is a Democrat and wants to humiliate the Bushes. Hmmm....

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Now that would be funny

and I could see that. And of course Laura is clueless and thinks it's high fashion. :eyes: Do you have a photo of Caroline's dress?

[Shopaholic]

47. She used to design a lot of Jackie's outfits too. . .

[louis-t]

5. I posted that picture from Carol Burnett

the first time I saw that hideous dress.

[virgdem]

30. Maybe if Laura had remembered the curtain rod on the shoulders...

to complete the outfit, she might look a teensy bit better....nah, she'd still look like a major fashion disaster.

[achtung_circus]

46. "Went With The Wind"

supposedly the longest laugh in TV history. "I saw in the window and I just HAD to have it."

[tjdee]

3. It's not that bad--the lady to her left looks even worse.

Red photographs badly, and while I think the Bush women have the WORST fashion sense of public women figures... it's okay.

It's not great, it's not terrible.

[louis-t]

10. What?

The first outfit doesn't even match! Colors clash. Second one makes her ass look huge! Wonder if she asked bushie "does this dress make my ass look big?" Every time I see one of her more repulsive outfits, I think of the "Emperor's New Clothes".

[tjdee]

18. For her, it's not bad.

The colors do clash, but maybe it's just the photo?(that's why I mentioned red being hard to photograph)

I guess I'm just saying I'm used to much, MUCH worse from Laura...like that gold thing with the blue bow.

The dress in the third picture is awful, but I've seen that before. It looks like a coat.

This is why I'm hesitant to believe she's a 6--she dresses like a Puritan. I bet there's even a picture around with a big ole belt buckle and a white collar floating around!

[louis-t]

29. "hesitant to believe she's a 6"

Sizes don't mean anything to bushes. She's whatever size SHE tells the designers. "Yes, your majesty, you ARE a 6, and a l-o-v-e-l-y one at that. There must be something wrong with that particular dress, yes, I know it SAYS it's a 6. I will have the tailor shot."

[MADem]

42. If Oprah could say she was a 14 when she was a deuce and a half

...Laura can say she is a six. They put fake sizes in those dresses, just to make the rich feel thinner. It's stupid if you ask me. But that goes with the price of the dress--a shitload of lies and flattery.

I can't get behind the Laura hating. She may not be the savviest knife in the drawer, but we'd actually be better off if she was running the country. Hell, she was a registered Democrat until she married the boyking. And her kids BEGGED their "deddy" NOT to run for pretzeldunce. Sadly, he doesn't listen to the women in his family, except for maybe BAR--he's askeered ah her!!

[Blue_In_AK]

43. Who thinks she's a 6, for God's sake?

That must mean that I'm way huger than I look to myself in the mirror, my gargantuan size 10.

[Hepburn]

6. OMG...........!!!

:puke:

[okasha]

7. Three thoughts

1. The jacket's not bad.

2. The outfit's gorgeous compared to the placenta-magenta shirtwaist evening gown.

3. It wouldn't look nearly so awful if it weren't bang up against bright red.

[Windy]

13. The daughters are the worst

They look like they are going to a 70's highschool prom!

[diamond14]

15. the jacket is TOO tight, and the skirt is rumpled up underneath....

and there is little to praise about the color-coordination scheme...


think about it....pickles PAYS major designers to make her look ghastly....perhaps with enough Xanax and gin, she doesn't even notice how BAD she looks....


THIS is what the FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA wears to a major New York Fashion Show....it's embarrassing...

[FreedomAngel82]

33. I've noticed that

with Laura a lot of her clothes are rumpled. What's up with that? It's just like with this photo and also of the first debate's where she and Mrs. Heinz Kerry were wearing the same type of outfit and Laura's outfit was soooo rumpled.

[Sparkly]

9. I guess the skirt wasn't finished in time.

So they gave her a red slip. :shrug:

[Mend]

11. Certainly highlights her hips:

possible new look representing woman's real role as fetus jug.

[mcar]

16. I have never understood why she insists on suits

with a jacket that falls at a woman's, any woman's, widest part. Between that and the waist bows, she is completely hopeless.

[diamond14]

24. here's some of laura's turquoise waste bows (PHOTOS)

embarrassing....real embarrassing to the USA....always with that Xanax smile too...

[muse]

44. That dress was a crime.

The woman has lost weight, but she bundles herself up in this? She needs to watch What Not to Wear.

[Swede]

12. Now conveneing the Romulan Imperial Senate.

nt

[SharonRB]

17. What WAS she thinking

These are all awful.

[Clark2008]

19. I thought it was just because she has "trailer park trash" tastes.

She's not that far removed from it, you know.

And I'm Southern. I can say that with complete knowledge of its truthfulness from, unfortunately, up-close personal observation. ;)

[murielm99]

25. You think we don't have trailer parks in the North?

Think again.

I see women in our area's trailer park who have more dignity and class than Pickles any day of the week. I have taught some of their children. I can see how they struggle.

My first thought on finishing The Family was about how they are less classy than any trailer park family I can think of.

[FreedomAngel82]

35. The sad thing is

they are the family of the free world and they don't have people to help them with their fashion? I know if I was a first daughter I'd surely take it up. I might not have great fashion like a royal family member or something but I do know what clashes and what doesn't. Blah. But they are not very classy. I think one of the classiest first lady's was Mrs. Kennedy (Jackie).

[michael_1166]

20. Well, obviously...

she's a crackpot just like her husband, so why wonder. It's impossible that sanity and style could flourish in that family of lunatics, and it shows each day.

[Stop_the_War]

21. Hideous....n/t

[riverwalker]

22. The Joker in Batman

her smile is so...weird.

[tx_dem41]

23. Who the heck cares. Let's not burn needless energy on trivial, petty..

crap.

[Neshanic]

26. She has a nack for looking like furniture. Bad furniture.

[michael_1166]

27. The existence...

of George W. and Laura Bush on this planet is proof that God doesn't exist - otherwise a lightning strike would have hit them both by now...

[Spinzonner]

28. So maybe we could take up a collection

and sponsor a 'Queer Eye for the First Lady' episode

[ultraist]

37. lol, it's needed! "Queer eye for the First Lady"

[jean]

40. haha! And won't that stir up bush's base!

[kcass1954]

31. Just goes to show you...

Money can't buy either taste or class!

[NashVegas]

34. The First Pic Doesn't Look So Bad

I think if the skirt were cut longer (2nd photo) or the camera angle were slightly different, it would've looked much better.

Her style of dress doesn't do much for me, but I'd suspect my mother and her sister may be admiring.

Although Nancy Reagan on *occasion* looked divine, and Roselyn was a class act, no first lady since Jackie Kennedy has been anywhere near worth writing home to France about.

[FreedomAngel82]

36. I agree

Mrs. Kennedy was a great first lady with fashion and all. I also like Roselyn and her fashion. She reminds me of my grandmother (which isn't bad). :)

[shawcomm]

38. yegads!

[begin_within]

39. He color coordinator is Helen Keller

[Vinca]

41. I think I'm cynical beyond all hope, but . . .

when basic health care is lacking for 45 million Americans, presumably half women, this is a major pile of doodoo meant to encourage the intake of statin drugs and overflow the coffers of drug companies. But don't get me started . . . (As for the dresses, give me a comfy pair of jeans and a sweater.)

[Malva Zebrina]

45. No sense of line,no sense of beauty and no sense of color

and no sense of what her body looks best in. She is wide in the rear, and long in the breast, and generally dumpy, without taste and thinks of fashion, it is all fun. She is desperately trying to look young, as if she were twenty and the more she tries, the more ridiculous she looks. It must be fun to dress up like a lump of material, expensive material, in the hopes that the fabric will display beauty, instead of the woman wearing it. That is the problem. She is intrigued by the embellishments and thinks that is fashion, no matter how cheapo looking, unsophisticated a fashion victim it makes her appear.

And those shoes--just loverly.

She needs help, but I have read that she is so stubborn that no one can tell her what to do and insists upon her way even if it makes her look hideous.

What is that thing? A velveteen straight jacket?

[0007]

48. If only Laura could play the piano like Margaret Truman to

gain more attention!

[LibDemAlways]

49. My eleven year old would tell her

to go change because she "doesn't match."

And what's with the dark ring on the bottom of the ball gown from hell? Did the WH toilet overflow onto her dress?
