Pickles dresses up fancy

[bluedeminredstate]

This is a Pickles fashion trainwreck that I somehow missed. It's from a pre-inaugural Texas-themed gala.
www.gofugyourself.com had such hilarious commentary and posts that I had to share Ma Laura's version of dressing up fancy-like along with Fug's take on it and some of the reaction in the posts. I don't know how I missed this at the time. Probably my grief left me unable to laugh at such an obvious target.

"Any inaugural occasion would seem to demand something more formal than what is basically an extremely oversized shirt. The horrendous backdrop coupled with her Little Ma On The Prairie getup gives the impression that the President randomly showed up at a production of Little Mary Sunshine, and wandered on-stage during the curtain call to congratulate the cast.

Comments:

"My favorite quote re: Laura Bush and the inauguration -
'I'm so glad it didn't rain. Laura would have rusted.' -- Randi Rhodes"

"Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top"

"I think that dress totally totaly brings to mind a First Lady. Unfortunately, her name is Mary Todd Lincoln."

"Oh, I dunno. . . . I think it was nice of the Beaver's mother to loan Mrs. Bush her Friday wax-the-floor dress. (with pearls.) And those old home ec projects of the twins dry-cleaned up right well. As for the drinking thing, if those were your parents, wouldn't you?"

I know I'm a shallow, mean person for even posting this picture, but damn! For someone who dresses like Mamie Einsenhower, this is noteworthy. I couldn't help myself...
