Fashion tip for the day - What shall I wear to infiltrate the teabaggers in San Antonio?
I was thinking:

An XXXL t-shirt with a teddy bear wearing a straw hat waving an American flag on it.
Some nice Sag Harbor elastic waist slacks in navy.
Red Keds.
A brimmed hat with teabags hanging off of it,
and of course a yellow ribbon pin and an American flag.

I should blend right in.

8. I thought my sign should say "give me my teabags back"
Aren't they supposedly pissed that everything is getting taken away from them?

But, I'm kind of disturbed because my best friend in another state sent me a "Patriotic rant" video announcing this thing.

Now, I'm wondering what to send back to her, electronically, in response???

Oh dear...

11. No natural fibers
If you can whomp up a stained - food stains, of course - polyester t-shirt, that would be good.

Sag Harbor? I'm not familiar with the brand, but if they're polyester, they're good, too.

If only you had time to get your hands on a classic like this:

I always assumed it was Joni Mitchell, and the crowd, when it realized it had a hippie in its midst, stomped the guy to death.

A perm? MOST DEFINITELY! Tiny rods, lots of frizz.

You're getting there....................................

31. I think he means "Frank" as in "Barney"
The teabagger is right: we should stop spending money we don't have.

This is why we are going to reallocate highway spending based on the composition of a state's congressional delegation. For instance, Massachusetts has a congressional delegation consisting entirely of Democrats. They will receive 100 percent of the highway funds we were going to allocate to them in 2009. Wyoming, OTOH, has NO Democrats in its congressional delegation; there is one Republican At Large representative and two Republican senators. Wyoming will receive only half of the funding we were going to provide them.

We will also reallocate Faith Based spending--to AFDC, TANF, WIC, pork for Democratic districts...

We will stop spending money to name public places for Repukes ESPECIALLY Ronald Reagan...unless someone wants to name a county jail, sewage plant, dump, VD clinic, dog pound or public restroom after him, because we'll fund that.

It's all in HOW you spend money, teabaggers, and if we promise to never spend money on things you guys like, we should save a lot of it.

34. Yes this pays homage to their former leader Floyd R. Turbo
Edited on Fri Apr-10-09 06:01 PM by underpants

Floyd R. Turbo was a middle-aged "everyman," a politically conservative type who taped editorial messages for television (ala Gilda Radner's befuddled Emily Litella character). In the days before public access cable, ordinary citizens were alloted time on local television to air their views, usually in opposition to another's previously stated views, and at late or odd hours. Billed as "Mr. Silent Majority" (from a phrase used by President Richard Nixon) and based on characters Carson encountered in his northeast Nebraska childhood), Turbo dressed in a plaid hunting jacket and hat, and stood nervously in front of a TV camera as he delivered his opinions on gun control, war, women's liberation, and hunting.

Carson once told Rolling Stone reporter Timothy White, "He's (Turbo) the epitome of the redneck ignoramus. I find the things (characteristics) each week when I go out to do...his gestures at the wrong time, his not knowing where he's supposed to be, his feeble attempts at humor, his talks about things he doesn't quite understand." <1>

36. Speaking of Floyd... Isn't that him in sample photo #3, post #22?
It's nice to see he still gets around.

But, I'm mistaken... The in hat color for tea-baggers this year is "Tan".

Sorry, for the Faux Paw.

47. Set up a sidewalk stand with a teabag taste-test
Then, videotape the freepers sipping free tea from porcelein cups and saucers, trying to decide if the Earl Grey or the Oolong best matches their personal political idealogies.

Hilarity ensues. ;)

57. Fashion Tip of the Day: How to Avoid Dragging Your Pants = Use Zakkerz
When buying a pair of dress pants, you’re always stuck with the dilemma of weather you should get shorter or longer pants.
Shorter, so you can wear them with your flats, or longer, if you wear them with heels.
Zakkerz are magnetic strips you can use to create a temporary hem when switching from heels to flat shoes.
Just roll your pants up to the desired length and attach two strips to each pant leg.
The handy Zakkerz keep the new hemline in place until you’re ready to switch to heels again.
Show them your Zakkersz and complain about short heels, fools 'em every time.

And carry one in each hand to wave, another one flying from a pole strapped to your back, and boatload of purple band-aids on your face. Oh, and an oil well hat on your noggin.





Squirting oil optional, of course!

62. Dear DU Fashionistas,
Edited on Fri Apr-10-09 09:22 PM by Hugin
I'm currently in a dilemma. You see I keep getting calls asking me to post pictures of my um... uh... 'teabags' on the Internets.

I know how you young people are all free and open, but, I was raised in a different time when such things were frowned upon in shall we say mixed company.

I need your advice. Will I still have my 'street cred' if I refrain? If I do post my teabags, how is it done tastefully? Is there any downside? Any tips on special make-up or poses with my teabags? Do I need to shave?

Signed,
Bashful

(Not that I'm a Disney character or anything... Oh, Gawd... Maybe I should have signed it, Shy or Modest.)
