1. That is one partciularly ugly dress....

Looks like a nun's formal attire.

[Stephanie]

4. It's daring.

It's very clingy.

[Straight Shooter]

10. Especially across her belly.

not flattering.

[yorkiemommie1]

20. some words of advice, laura

foundation garments

360* mirror

[howmad1]

34. Geeez, for a sec I thought she was knocked up.

[kcass1954]

65. Cheap polyester tends to do that! n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Very unflattering! Someone should tell her that.

[FreedomAngel82]

58. I agree

I have a bit of a stomach myself and I definitley wouldn't wear it. It's a clingy dress. If it wasn't so clingy and was more flowy it wouldn't be too bad. Is she not wearing makeup?

[ClintonTyree]

8. That IS one butt ugly dress.........

but she always dresses like that, or worse. Usually she wears the draperies. Today, it's coffin lining. She has no fashion sense at all.

[johnfunk]

13. Matches the ugly facelift the MSM refused to cover

n/t

[Stephanie]

21. She looks like Jenna

[KoKo]

59. yes...in the second photo she does...and she's lightened her hair in the

last week..the other photo's of her have shown her more blonde.

I feel sorry that her only refuge from "THEM" is in books and whatever she takes to give her that vacant look.

All the money and power in the world couldn't get me to live in that Bush Crime Family. Always waiting for the "horse head in the bed," if I step out of line. And where are the Twins? Did she ditch them in Africa or are they out in LA living the good life of daughters of the privileged... :scared:

[Polethebear]

67. it's a dress someone jenna's age

probably should be wearing. You know,my mom(RIP) used to look at celeb(in this case soap actors) and say "she dressed for her age" or "good for her age". Don't know that she could say that for laura.

[Polethebear]

68. Now that I looked at a again.....

gotta do my "gay" fashion consultant routine.


"ahem"


Gawwwwwddd,will you look at that.That dress,that burial....oh my god,oh my god...that burial garment is streched waaayyyyyyyyy,waaayyyyyy too tight. Too much navel,sweetie. Gotta go.... I was hoping you just got...kinda tangled...ya'know. Geez louise,I mean I know georgie in't any catch but don't make the fact that your looking that freakin obiovous. Your poor thing,I can't imagine being married to something transvestites wouldn't even pick up.



Queer eye from the straight bear........

[MountainMamma]

42. When did "pickles" get a face lift?

[VolcanoJen]

63. Downright fugly.

:puke:

[Pharlo]

81. I disagree,

There's nothing wrong with the dress itself, given the proper body type for the particular cut/material (6.0' size 0 model) and this dress could appear absolutely stunning.

Conversely, dressed in clothing better suited to Laura's body type, she could apprear presentable.

Simple as that.

Her clothes are probably modelled for her by leggie 6.0' size 0 models and she possibly believes they'll look the same on her...

I know there are a lot of clothes I absolutely love - but I also know I could never wear them - highly unflattering to my body type....

Just saying - don't hold the clothes accountable for her lack of fashion sense (accoutrements for this ensemble also lacking).

[ClintonTyree]

2. Who's keeping an eye on the alchie?

Not a good idea to leave him on his own at a time like this!

[MountainMamma]

40. Wonder who will read him

his bedtime stories about those wicked witches Katrina and Rita that are destroying his polls?

[lyonn]

75. Remember, he is in the Bunker

all safely tucked in.

[AirmensMom]

3. Are they serving cake?

:sarcasm:

[supernova]

5. Miss Havasham's librarian?

:wtf: That is a truly hideous dress! :puke:

Good books don't deserve bad wardrobes.

[fooj]

7. Her face looks different today, doesn't it?

B-)

[Orrin_73]

23. yes, she looks so much older

[onecent]

52. Yes it does, almost gaunt...maybe she's feeling * pain...lol

[greekspeak]

That dress accentuates her drooping bust line and doughy waist

God what is she thinking? That is HEINOUS!!

[ClintonTyree]

14. With that hideous bow on the side.........

she looks like she just won first prize in the sow judging contest at the County Fair.

[Mikimouse]

27. DING DING DING...Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the ...

greatest line of the day!:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[greekspeak]

33. And what is the gaudy thing around her neck?

She looks like a pigrim or something. Is that cloth or some sort of bead arrangement?

[Stephanie]

37. It's beads.

Honestly, I wore something similar last night! It's the fashion now.

[greekspeak]

38. It hurts my gay soul to its core that that is considered "fashionable"

:puke:

[Stephanie]

45. I looked better in it

:)

[greekspeak]

49. I do not doubt that a bit!

:hi:

[fob]

77. A bow? It looks like the presidential seal!

http://www.4reference.net/encyclopedias/wikipedia/President_of_the_United_States.html

Must be some sort of sick sex joke between pickles and...nevermind

:puke:

[CatBoreal]

9. Isn't it in bad taste to be holding a gala event while...

millions of people are being evacuated from their homes and could possibly die within the next few hours because they cannot reach safety?

Pardon me, but I think it's crass.

[supernova]

19. It's even crasser to be attending

such an event, when your husband's maladministration screwed up the last hurricane.

It's not like she should be helping or anything. :eyes:

[BrklynLiberal]

11. That "thingy" on her hip almost looks like a presidential seal...

:puke:

[CatWoman]

15. that was my first impression

I wouldn't put it past her, as her husband has to have it engraved on everything.

[Mend]

57. Looks like a colostomy bag to me.....

complications from the face lift, perhaps.

[CatWoman]

12. what the fuck???

:wtf:

[Fridays Child]

16. That dress! What was she thinking?

Oh, Pickles, Betty Bowers is gonna nail you for this one--and you deserve it!

[Eurobabe]

17. why she dressed in black?

very nasty dress. Back of the closet type shit you drag out when you don't care how you look. Bu$h is draining her dry.

[Stephanie]

24. Because it's the fashion

Everyone in NY right now is wearing black - all the fall mags are Black is Back - which means it's going to change in five minutes. I'm betting on golds and olives.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Must Read...from someone who respectfully declined....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4857870

[Sanity Claws]

22. Yikes! That is an ugly dress

The color and shape is not flattering.
Also, why isn't she watching the boozer?

[shaniqua6392]

25. Caption: George and I just feel awful

for the victims of Hurricane Corina and Hurricane Reba! Our hearts go out to them.....blah....blah.....blah

[flordehinojos]

26. is she stepping out of a pumpkin carriage?

}(

[greekspeak]

36. I fear that the carriage has long since turned back into a pumpkin

The dress Cinderelly wore AFTER the wicked stepsisters ripped it up is FAR more flattering that that....THING.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

28. Pickles, honey please please give the queer guys a call

[FrankieBud]

29. She looks like she has had one too many

martunis again.

[mtnsnake]

30. Notice how her right leg is shorter than the other one

It happened when they lifted a little too hard during her latest facelift.

[Mad_Dem_X]

31. It's Judge Judy!!!

She looks just like her in the second picture. LOL!

[Dave Reynolds]

53. My thought exactly.

Judge Judy called, she wants her damn robes back!

[liveoaktx]

80. Heh-made me laugh-but Judy is so much more pretty and classier

Don't think Judy would ever tell her courtroom about miiking a male horse

[Sal Minella]

32. She's going to figure out how much her dressmaker hates her

one of these days, and she's going to be really, really ticked off. I'd bet her dressmaker is a closet D.U.er and will write a tell-all book after this administration is impeached.

[greekspeak]

35. I wonder if that is from the Concerned Women for America fall wardrobe

Do you want the barefoot and pregnant look, but like shoes? Try this dress!

[AlCzervik]

39. Quick call the fashion police, time for them to issue yet another citation

[walldude]

41. Wonder if she'll mention

the poet who pretty much told her to shove it...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4857870

[SalmonChantedEvening]

43. Let's Make a Deal Rule #1!!

Never, ever, EVER pick curtain #3.

[cornermouse]

44. Laura is irrelevant.

I absolutely wouldn't care if she danced naked in to Rose Garden.

[Stephanie]

46. She helped to get him there.

We can use her to get him out.

[Opusnone]

47. Where's Melissa andJjoan Rivers when you need them?

I hope this hideous outfit makes Blackwell's worst list (not Blackwell from Ohio, the other gay one).

[MoonRiver]

48. Ewwwww,

frump central. :thumbsdown:

[JDPriestly]

50. So much money, so little taste.

Maybe she is trying to look like Emily Dickinson. Or maybe she wants to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. It's just bizarre. Where in the world did she get that outfit? The collar looks like it was snapped on. And the "dress" looks like a high school choir robe.

[im10ashus]

51. What the hell??

She looks like she is auditioning for Elizabeth Proctor in "The Crucible" and someone slipped her Valium. I can't believe they would let her out in public in that dress.

[Stephanie]

54. It is the fashion in NY right now

Seriously. For the next five minutes the fashion is plain black dress with necklace. It will be gone by November. This is the look for now though.

[im10ashus]

55. I'll keep my black dress and necklace in storage.

At least until this fashion mistake passes. The Crucible look is so unflattering to my Celtic skin. Throw a bonnet on her and they would burn her at the stake.

[BringEmOn]

56. Looks like 100 lbs. of spuds in a 50 lb. sack

[Skip Intro]

60. Sometimes I'm inclined to feel sorry for her.

In fact, I do feel sorry for her.

[Pastiche423]

61. A lightened version...

[Jane Austin]

71. Good Golly. That thing on her side looks like a bathtub stopper!

n't

[dancingme]

62. what the dress hides

Laura has plans after the Book Festival!

[yorkiemommie1]

64. basic black dress is fine

beads is fine.

the choice of which cut and fabric is critical. and that stupid ornamentation at the hip, accentuating a figure flaw is terrible. the beads look too 'summery' to go with this Haunted House type dress.

Calling Stacey and Clinton and their 360* mirror !!

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

66. i thought she was supposed to be keeping on eye on junior

and his boozing.

[Stinky The Clown]

69. Laura's fashion inspiration ........

[Contrary1]

70. Look for her next "designer gown"

to be exactly the same color and material as those hideous drapes.

[LibDemAlways]

72. That is one ugly ass dress.

That thing around her neck looks like a garter chimp caught at a wedding and kept as a souvenir. The disk on the side looks like a frisbee. With all her money, you'd think she could hire someone to keep her from looking like this - though I doubt it, because she's probably just like chimp and doesn't listen to anybody.

[kineneb]

73. My grandmother would have called it a "dowdy" dress

Dress accentuates the sloping shoulders, and large hip area. Wrong kind of dress for body shape. Need to lose dinner plate thingy on hip. Needs things in a crisper fabric and with better foundation garments. Possibly use of small shoulder pads to balance figure. Frothy beadwork wrong for style of dress. Classic pearls would have been better.

Hideous blue curtains excellent for Elizabethan court dress preferably with lots of gold/pearl beading and metallic trim.

[Bluebear]

74. She looks like the night hostess at Cracker Barrel.

"Table for how many?"

[SammyWinstonJack]

76. LOL

:rofl: With all her money and she still goes out in public dressed like that? Amazing!

[mandomom]

79. You mean she isn't?

[mandomom]

78. At last, a dress that fits her strongest personality qualities:

drab, boring, wrapped too tight and decidedly unattractive.

[peekaloo]

82. Why is she wearing a doily around her neck?

Is this her Laura Ingalls look?

[Straight Shooter]

85. I think she's channeling Mary Todd Lincoln. n/t

[smurfygirl]

83. Her face looks strange

suddenly I am reminded of her hideous mother in law. She is turning into Barbara.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

84. There more important things about her to discuss rather than "fat" jokes

Can't we leave the "fatty fatty fat fat" crap with the Freepers? There are a million reasons not to like her, but the fact that she isn't a supermodel shouldn't be one of them.
