[mtnester]

1. My God I am Blinded for life!

You should REALLY include a shiny fabric warning there buddy!

[Diane R]

142. The sad thing is that she thinks she looks pretty.

[Kurovski]

204. It's all very Chaplin-esque.

"Limeblight."

[Vadem]

239. OMG that is funny! LOL.. "limeblight"! .... n/t

[roguevalley]

210. Republican women dress horribly. with her dough and access to

designers, she still dresses like a dipshit. I guess their philosophy permeates all levels.

[Kurovski]

243. I'm wondering...

Do you refer to their philosophy that disaster=success?

[smokey nj]

2. Phlegm is her color.

[Beausoir]

59. LOL! She spews it on a daily basis and her hideous spawn is no better.

Puke.

[Bluebear]

72. ...

:spray:

[Little Wing]

3. wish I could help

I got nuthin to say about that

:yoiks:

[Solly Mack]

21. I was left speechless as well

[hellbound-liberal]

159. How about: "Nice dress! Who shot the sofa"?

[rzemanfl]

4. These people are not what the song "Satin Doll" was written

about. The sound you hear is Duke Ellington rolling over in his grave.

[GreenPartyVoter]

168. LOL

I think you may be right

[Bjornsdotter]

5. Welcome to the Emerald City

Wow, they must like shiny objects back in Wyoming.

Cheers

[mtnester]

13. Really...if she is not careful a crow will come by and...

[Bjornsdotter]

50. Lol n/t

[IChing]

"who rang that bell!?"

[Beaverhausen]

6. These were the losing designs for the newest Project Runway

god- did they even look in the mirror before going out?

[TahitiNut]

198. You know it's bad when even Dick won't be seen next to her.

:puke:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

7. "Do you think this dress makes me look fat?"

:-) MKJ

[Jim Warren]

20. haha

Reminds me of David Byrne with the big suit in Stop Making Sense.

[DesEtoiles]

63. Does this make my butt, hips, stomach, shoulders look big?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[wordpix]

69. that photo of McBush always cracks me up, lol

[TahitiNut]

121. !!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Ghost in the Machine]

8. That's the first time I've ever seen a stripper pop out of a key lime pie!

jeez...

And what's with Liz? Both of them need to lose the shiny suits

[SharonRB]

9. She looks like the Jolly Green Giant.

[AlCzervik]

10. omg! That is some horrible combination of Mrs. Howell and a leftover Bee Arthur outfit circa 1986.

Chrissakes she and her daughter look like they're going to a prom.

[Clark2008]

93. Except Bea Arthur looked handsome in her dresses of that nature.

The elder Cheney woman looks like Slime.

[glitch]

104. Slimer!

[Swamp Rat]

205. heh!

:D

[Kurovski]

235. LOL!!

It must have taken George MONTHS to dye that dress.

[glitch]

271. Aaaayeee! My eyes! That is really too good. And awful. nt

[Olney Blue]

11. It ain't easy being green.

[Renew Deal]

12. This dress is called Lockness Monster by Dolce Gabana

:puke:

[Pachamama]

Perfect caption....

[DesEtoiles]

66. Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! - (Loch Ness, tho)

14. Lynne: "Pea green is so hot!"

[BuyingThyme]

15. Is this from that new Star Trek movie?

[Kurovski]

206. Working title: "How Green Was My Folly".

[Catherine Vincent]

16. "Yeah, that's right. I'm coordinated!"

:rofl:

[jimshoes]

17. I'm going to the Emerald City

[greenbriar]

18. PUKE

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[goclark]

19. No taste and doesn't even know it

Power Hungry piece of ~

[blondeatlast]

22. What part of "lime green satin" and "aquamarine satin"

DIDN'T scream awful taste at you two?

Gad, can we get Trinny and Susannah there in a hurry?

[SoCalDem]

54. There's an empty display at walmart

[glitch]

106. How on earth did you find something so perfect? nt

[here_is_to_hope]

130. Thats my winner right there!

[napi21]

23. Well, she can be damn sure nobody else will be wearing the same thing!

Nobody else would be caught DEAD in that thing! Hell, I can't even tell if it's a dress, pants with a coat, or WHAT!

[JanusAscending]

154. That's some pretty heavy "static cling"

going on there!!! Of course old ladies wouldn't think of going bare legged, but nylons will get you every time!! Hope she had a can of "Static Guard" in her purse! Short dumpy women should NEVER wear shiny fabric!!! That IS one "pukey color"!!! She should sue her designer!

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. That is an absolutely hideous dress

fits her absolutely hideous personality.

[Generator]

25. It's the official color of the planet her husband is from

Reptilian no? VERY snazzy.

[Kurovski]

26. Mother of the bride of Frankenstein.

Her daughter STILL fits into her prom dress! What's her secret I wonder?

[Catshrink]

27. "Oh thank God, the celery finally arrived."

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

Think about it...

They HAVE to wear that nasty flashy crap to be highly visible and keep Big Dick from accidentally shooting them.

[mzteris]

28. Cabbage Roll,

anyone?

[Ilsa]

138. That is a perfect description! thank you! nt

[Raster]

29. Mama told me not cum. Mama told me not to sew.

Lipstick on a pig.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

144. Guess the gay daughter & her partner are not allowed at such a function.

[Kurovski]

31. Why is she wearing football equipment under that thing?

[Mend]

56. no, a double Depends...it is supposed to be a long meal without a potty

break.

[Roland99]

Wrapping paper is now a formal gown material?

[Kurovski]

238. ...only if it's in Lyme Disease-Green.

[CatWoman]

32. ATTACK OF THE KILLER AVACADO!!

:rofl:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

43. !!!

:spray:

[C_U_L8R]

33. Look !! It's Dipsy !!

[Solly Mack]

77. lololol

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. Looks like a really butt-ugly Mother of the Groom dress

purchased at Wal-Mart.

Meow.

[tyne]

35. Well

I think she looks very nice.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

39. You forgot the "sarcasm" smiley.

Or else she looks like a very nice cabbage roll.

[Kurovski]

42. Well, I'll give you this much...

she LOOKS a lot nicer than she actually is.

[Ilsa]

141. She looks better in that than if she tried to wear something too

tight or excessively structured. ITA, except for the fact that it doesn't look very formal, she looks pretty good, considering the evil that lurks within.

[momster]

166. Bless Her Heart

so sweet of her to take the trouble to sew her own dress...that's sacrificing for the troops right there.

(for those not versed in Southern-speak, this is snark)

[SammyWinstonJack]

230. Looks like lounging Pj's.

[GRLMGC]

36. Looks like it

but it probably cost more than I make in one month!

[Kurovski]

37. Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney,

pitches a green tent in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

38. Cheney's net worth is what...

and that's the best she could come up with?! Wow. Speechless. It looks like gift-wrap ribbon.

[buff2]

41. Why would she wear a negligee to a State dinner?

God,that woman has about as much taste as Laura (I killed my boyfriend) Bush. :puke:

[SoCalDem]

44. Frock by Oscar de la OyVey

:eyes:

[wordpix]

45. what me worry? Enjoying a night on the town while DC burns

[Kurovski]

46. "This space for hire"

Call: 1-cme-frm-spce

[Cass]

47. That dress is totally overwhelming her.

The jacket is too much, too long, too boxy and too much fabric.

Could have been a nice dress if the jacket were cut differently.

[Solly Mack]

65. I thought the same...lose the jacket or redo it

[patrice]

286. That was my thought + add a full length non-cling slip. nm

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

48. K & R. I usually wouldn't get too crazy about who wore what, but this is mind boggling.

:wow: MKJ

[rainbow4321]

49. That's 1 way to make sure no one else has the same dress on..

Cuz no one else would be stupid enough to wear it! OMG, even the shoes match the horrid dress color.

[blondeatlast]

60. Somehow it's comforting to know that the Cheneys, with all their cadillions,

also buy their dye to match shoes at Payless..

They are just like us!

[SoCalDem]

51. Aaaw shit.. she forgot her hat

[YellowRubberDuckie]

52. The color is pretty, but the dress isn't flattering at all...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

55. My friend sationed in Iraq writes: "I AM IN HELL..."

Why is Lynn Cheney walking around in this ugly dress while our soldiers are in HELL?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=839832&mesg_id=839832

Please help me to understand what is going on here!

[Solly Mack]

62. My husband served in Iraq. Iraq is a very real 24/7 issue in my house

He could go back at any time.

Sometimes I need some relief. I make no apologies for that.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

112. Why would you apologize???

The post was meant for the overblown toads dressed up in million dollar "Couture Gowns".

I wish they had spent that money to send the families of the soldiers on an all expense vacation to Hawaii, instead of dressing up to meet the "Queen".

[Solly Mack]

118. Okies. Thanks!

It's not unheard of on DU for people to remark that others forget the important stuff when engaged in diversions (such as that horrible dress)

Sorry for my misunderstanding!

[wordpix]

76. I wonder how much she paid for that ugly shit outfit. Someone ought to get the price tag

and let the soldiers know where the profiteer money goes...:puke:

[SeattleGirl]

57. Jeebus, who made her dress? Omar the Tent Maker?

Did she gain 150-200 pounds overnight? :puke:

[DesEtoiles]

73. maybe it is supposed to be a burkha of some kind...

[SeattleGirl]

80. LOL!

[Kurovski]

91. Weight gain, you say?

Maybe there's some "Rosemary's baby" action going on?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

137. Omar, the Tentmaker's son was Omar Khayyam -- true fact.

Omar Khayyam himself wouldn't be caught dead within ten miles of that cesspool of idiocy. He was a scientist and astronomer.

The calendar he devised for the Arab world is still in use today and is more accurate than the Gregorian calendar. It will not need to be adjusted for 3,600 years. That's 2,600 years since he devised it. I know this because I saw "The Keeper:The Legend of Omar Khayyam". Best damn movie I've ever seen. Get it at www.greatomar.com

I've seen it nine times and I STILL pick up on things I didn't before.

Excuse the thread derailment. Please go back to the usual snarky gossip about bad taste and the people who wear it.

[bleever]

149. I was going to thank you for this post

til I read your sig line, and knew that meant recommending twice, and that I could get it at least half right.

[hlthe2b]

58. Jolly Green Giant is here, with the veggies, Laura!

[Solly Mack]

92. It does remind me of jammies

[stevedeshazer]

71. Ghastly

You've gotta be kidding, Solly Mack.

But you're not. Argh.

I've made a lot of fashion don'ts in my time but ...damn

[Bluebear]

75. Tawdry. A tawdry lime. nt

[DesEtoiles]

78. I think she will slide off any chair she tries to sit on

[DesEtoiles]

81. That's not Lynne Cheney! It's Denny Hastert!!!

[Horse with no Name]

82. I think she looks positively "Shrekish"

:)

[spanone]

83. My Gawd. That's the ugliest fucking thing I've ever seen.

The dress is horrible too.

95. Yippey!!! The Circus is in town!

OK, one of you nimble fingered Mac users: PULEEESE, paint clown makeup on these folks then repost here.

[bleever]

96. This has so been done already.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

97. My mum used to say, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

So here it goes: (ARGGGGGGGG). "Love your fingernails...nice that they were able to paint over the blood stains."

[dflprincess]

98. As Alice Roosevelt Longworth used to say

"If you haven't anything nice to say about anyone, come sit by me." :evilgrin:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

102. The doctors are now saying that gossip is good for the heart.

Must be why the old biddys outlive everyone else. :)

[Kurovski]

99. It's her tribute to the state of Wyoming.

[Ilsa]

143. It's her tribute to the gangrene of Dick's heart. nt

[Kurovski]

202. That's too small

Think, "Green Acres".

[orleans]

100. thank you lynne & liz. I DIDN'T REALIZE TRASH BAGS CAME IN

SO MANY COLORS!

[spooky3]

108. LOL!

I know I am not supposed to laugh at this thread but...!

[salinen]

101. Carmela Soprano

is missing a dress!

[hlthe2b]

134. Hell, you could fit about 20 Carmelas in that outfit...

at the very least...

[bobthedrummer]

103. Elizabeth Cheney is going to be held accountable for her treason, like her dad. n/t

[Solly Mack]

105. Stripes or bright orange?

[AnnieBW]

117. Did she get that dress off the bridesmaids dress at David's Bridal Wearhouse?

Not quite as fugly as Mom's. The lesbian daughter probably has better style sense!

[Stinky The Clown]

107. Pollen Phlegm

[ElizabethDC]

109. Liz looks like she's wearing a bridesmaid's dress circa 1993 n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

110. May I borrow your flask, dear? I left mine at home.

[rasputin1952]

111. Liz doesn't look to bad, except for the shine...but Lynne looks

like she has a funeral shroud on! All they need to do is flip that collar over and lay her down...:scared:

WTF is up w/the lime green? Is that Summer or something? I've seen Pinto's that color, don't like it at all...x(

[AnnieBW]

113. And I thought that Laura's gown was fugly!

I take it back. This looks like a mother-of-the-bride dress from HELL! And Elizabeth looks like a bridesmaid. She should have asked Mary for some style tips.

[Bucky]

114. Well, now we know where that "secure location" is where Cheney's been hiding.

[DesEtoiles]

115. he's in there right now!

[DesEtoiles]

116. This is Hefty's new "Couture" line

[Gregorian]

120. It doubles as a body bag.

I know it's cruel. But I had to.

[Gregorian]

119. And now we present the Bride of Frankenstein, in necro green.

[Patsy Stone]

123. Lynne Cheney is wearing

the Aurora Borealis.

Mrs. Cheney posed for a picture outside the WH this evening:

[Kurovski]

257. So SHE'S that "Shining City Upon A Hill" Reagan talked about.

[Patsy Stone]

280. Apparently, she's the whole damn county!

:hi:

[Kurovski]

284. And here I thought

Ellicott City was the largest county seat in the U.S.

Who knew? :hi:

[FloridaJudy]

125. No,no Lynne!

You're supposed to eat the after dinner mints...

[FloridaJudy]

126. dupe

[FloridaJudy]

127. dupe

[Lasher]

128. Looks like Lynne got tangled up in her bedsheets last night

And still is.

[in_cog_ni_to]

129. OMG. They have NO TASTE! NONE!

What is it with those people? Does the lack of sex cause baaaad taste? OBVIOUSLY, it does!:puke:

[NV Whino]

131. Just perfect for spilling spaghetti sauce on

... If you will forgive the bad gramar.

[Kurovski]

199. Or guacamole.

[LibertyorDeath]

132. Lynne Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney

displays the color of her husbands arteries.....

[cascadiance]

133. Lame try! That CERTAINLY won't get you into the Green Party!

I know that Dick must be looking for a new home, but the Greens DON'T WANT ANY!

I think you need to see what's in style around the Hague!!!

[shance]

135. Isn't it amazing that these criminals like the Cheneys are not behind bars?

n/t

[Kurovski]

259. Especially when they're so easy to find.

[CoffeeCat]

136. She stole that dress from Sid & Marty Kroft's closet!!!!

Somewhere in the world, a naked Sigmund the Sea Monster wanders the city--hoping
that the nasty woman will return his costume.

[Eurobabe]

139. She stole her daughter's drapes

[judaspriestess]

140. Hi, I'm part of the Killer Clowns from Outer Space

:eyes:E-GADS :puke:

Lynne is bad but Pickles? That woman is without a doubt the frump-E-est woman I've ever seen.

[havocmom]

147. GOP women in green shoes unnerve me

Didn't the 04 election numbers suddenly change for bush/cheney when one of the twins made a show of green shoes in the family photo election night?

[NuttyFluffers]

148. It's the Lifesaver twins! Peppermint and Wintergreen

unfortunately wintergreen has seen better days...

either that or they represent Sour Apple Jolly Rancher and Blue Berry Yum Yum Kool Aid.

(...one should never let Willy Wonka design clothes.)

[bleever]

150. All valid points.

I could only add that wintergreen should make sparks in the dark when cracked in the teeth.

I've known wintergreen. Wintergreen's been a friend of mine.

"You, Madam, are no wintergreen."


It pains me to say it; and yet:


not that much.

[Kurovski]

186. LOL!

:D

[Bluebear]

151. Google Earth catches a huge lime grove outside of Del Mar. nt

[Kurovski]

277. How lime grove survives unusual frost remains a mystery.

Scientists baffled.

[question everything]

152. The Gekko is cuter

nice try, though

[Liberty Belle]

153. The dog ate my dress, so I wore this lawn tarp instead.

[noamnety]

155. Look! It's a woman!

*checks to-do list*

*bashes fashion choice*
*comments on her weight*
*compares her to farm animals*

Thank God this never gets old, or demeaning.

[Kurovski]

169. Do you have low self-esteem?

Denny Hastert gets the same treatment around here, just to name one Bush man-fascist.

We fucking hate these dangerous people. This shit HELPS us survive this crap. It's ugly and nasty to be sure, so please don't look if you can't handle it.

[noamnety]

170. I fail to see how

the constant woman bashing and reduction of women to subhumans based on their inability to meet socially constructed corporate standards of beauty helps women.

Speaking out against racism and sexism is not a sign of low self-esteem. Accepting it and contributing to it is a sign of low self-esteem. People who feel the need to attack women not based on their actions, but based on how well they present their bodies as sexually attractive have issues, imho.

[Kurovski]

174. "Tough nitty said the kitty, but the milk's still good."

Did you seen George in spandex? What a choice he made that day!! :rofl:

[benevolent dictator]

178. I fail to see how

posting two examples of people bashing men for the way they look somehow negates the fact that women are CONSTANTLY judged based on their looks, and how demeaning that is.

I also fail to see how pointing out the fact that women are consistently judged based on appearances, rather than merits, is a sign of low self esteem. Wahnsinn.

[Beelzebud]

180. Hide the thread and stop trying to stifle free speech.

No one makes you read things you don't agree with.

Are the women in this thread making fun of her sexist too?

[Kurovski]

184. Falwell is a pork sausage for Jesus!!

[noamnety]

190. When your "free speech" is racist or sexist, I'll use mine to speak out against you.

If you don't like that, hide the thread. :)

[Kurovski]

194. Do you think the shoe-polish on Reagan's hair is still holding up?

[rocktivity]

250. Regan's shoe polish will HAVE to hold up

Since he's going to have to rise from the dead and become the GOP frontrunner!

:rofl:
rocknation

[Kurovski]

263. You win!

:rofl:

[Beelzebud]

237. So saying Lynn Cheney has an ugly dress is sexist?

And I don't need to hide the thread. I thought it was funny. I can put you on ignore though. :)

[Kurovski]

240. Have you seen Ahnold in that bikini pic of his?

Looks like a deflated tire from a 747.

Mmmm, steroids.

[benevolent dictator]

201. "Stop trying to stifle free speech."

So... it's ok for other people to use their freedom of speech to spew sexist (or racist, or homophobic, or classist...) things, but not ok for me to speak up against that?

Wahnsinn!

[Kurovski]

216. A close-up of Lynn's brooch...

[Beelzebud]

236. What is sexist about saying Lynn Cheney has an ugly dress?

Are women now above criticism?

[Kurovski]

241. Well, if Glenn Beck can dress like a

shoe salesman caught in a vaudeville act, Lynne can do whatever she pleases.

That, and the fact that she's Ilsa, Shewolf of the SS makes her unassailable.

[Kurovski]

182. Rumsfeld always looks like he cut his own hair on a bender,

and groomed it with a slice of buttered toast!

[Kurovski]

187. Commander Codpiece!

Any day now, L'il George will be completing his Village People wardrobe.

[noamnety]

192. Well, you know, for some people

The thought of NOT bashing women is so unimaginable, that the best they can do is try to bash men enough to "compensate."

That's not the sort of equality we're fighting for - an equality that attempts to drag men into the gutter an equal amount.

"Look, now we're ALL demeaned!"

[Kurovski]

195. Right on!

I'll keep an eye out for you in the regular threads that bash Bush's appearance.

As one woman asked in a recent thread "what's with bush's socks?"

Answer "Foot-stank!"

[benevolent dictator]

207. You're obfuscating the fact that

women are judged based on their appearance, before their actual merits, in all walks of life. It's true that men are also sometimes made fun of for their looks or clothing choices, but overall I think you'll find that men are generally criticized (and praised) based on their merits FAR more often than their looks.

A woman making fun of Bush's socks does not negate the fact that many people seem to think the most important aspect of a woman is her appearance.

[Kurovski]

214. And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

[Kurovski]

215. *

[Kurovski]

218. And now a word from our sponsor...

See the movie!

[Bluebear]

223. I've seen it all now.

Bashing women indeed.

[Kurovski]

227. Mr. Greenjeans wants to know...

How's his advice for Lynn working out?

[Kurovski]

185. Imus looks like a dessicated, split-ended, wind-up mummy in a Stetson!

253. We're not bashing women

We're bashing Lynne Cheney's fucking poor taste that allows her to wear such a monstrosity. If you will note, Condi has actually gotten some compliments on her very tasteful dress.

[Kurovski]

264. She also tastefully supresses unpleasant news.

I mean, who needs to hear THAT?

And by the way...Howard Dean is HOT!

[Beelzebud]

266. There is a segment here that actively looks for things to offend them.

[noamnety]

272. There is an active segment that doesn't care to support the patriarchy

and is offended when people feel entitled to rate women's bodies, CONTINUALLY, as if the entire world is a runway and women are supposed to be CONTINUALLY judged.

It's part of a system of oppression, it's part of the reason why women aren't treated seriously in the business world, it's part of the reason why women aren't taken seriously in politics. It's part of the problem with the media, that when women run for office, a disproportionate amount of the reporting is about their fashion choices, not their votes or statements.

When DU contributes to it, it's a bad thing. And it's a disgrace that threads comparing women to cows, of all things, is on the greatest page.

The entire thread is worthy of freepers.

[philosophie_en_rose]

274. The dress is a choice. It's not her body.

Posts such as yours are reasons that women aren't taken seriously. It is not sexist to point out that Lynne Cheney is wearing the same dress as a cow statue. It shows that her taste is terrible.

There are also posts about men on DU. Search for Cheney and his parka.

[Kurovski]

279. We are the world, we are the runway...

Oh that's great! Exclude men from the runway. WE want to be seen, too! But go ahead, keep trying to ignore us. Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to tie a bow tie?!

And if we break out of the societal restraints of dress and happen to wear a devastating cocktail number by Dior, or a fetching and kicky sun dress in public, we get ignored, scorned, or arrested!

And we're not even allowed back hair, and a beer-belly is an endless source of negative discussion and jokes. I no longer care to hear about the hair in the shower drain or cascading from my nose, and will listen to NOT ONE MORE WORD on the subject!

After YEARS of cultivating a proud belly and soft fuzzy forests of fur, women show NO appreciation WHATSOEVER. Well I for one will not tolerate that any longer!

260. dupe, sorry

258. In the interest of fairness and balance, here is Queen Latifah

NOT looking like a cow because she employs the use appropriate colors and styles.

Check out her pink dress in particular. You may not care for brightness of the color, but because it's soft and flowing rather than shiny and boxy, it works on her.

Taste has nothing to do with one's looks, age, gender or weight.

Lynne had to dig deep in her closet for that pick.

173. What is it about lime green

for the dresses this year? I love the color green, but Emerald Green is a more beautiful color and it's dark enough to be suitable to formal wear. Lime green is just too fluorescent and gaudy, IMHO.

The dress the daughter is wearing is ugly. Either that, or she needs to shed a few pounds to wear it, or wear a more suitable style for her weight. It could, of course, be just me.

[leftofthedial]

175. some one hocked a lunger on the sofa

it might have been the broad hiding behind the blue drapes or the guy dressed as a billiard ball.

[ComerPerro]

176. as a present for the Queen, a signed copy of Cheney's lesbian erotic novel.

[grasswire]

177. where are the gloves, ladies?????!!!

What's the matter with these hicks?

And no jewelry??

What's that about?

[road2000]

211. But she

iswearing jewelry, and it's the latest tacky accessory. That's a green satin toilet seat around her neck.

226. Welcome to DU, Satbod Elder!

they're under the kitchen sink.

203. Not just your imagination - I thought so too.

212. Um, yeah... sorry about that

I didn't realize that MSIE shrank it to fit, and in the original page it looks to be about 400x400 or so. :blush:

[Kurovski]

219. No, no, no, it's funny!

It captures the MASSIVENESS of Missy Lynne's fashion faux-pas. :-)

[Kurovski]

221. She looks like an overturned truckload of tomatillos.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

224. It is reminiscent of my grandmothers pajamas and bedjacket sets

Don't every one here start bashing my grandmother. She was a lovely lady and in her latter years was under home care due to Alzheimer's disease. She enjoyed her lounge clothes to be extravagant like they wore in 1950's Hollywood. At some point in the creation of this design I have a feeling the designer drew their inspiration from that lounge wear of days-gone-by.

[Kurovski]

232. But your dear and obviously glamorous grandmother

would most likely never have met the Queen a' England in her hostess pajamas.

I'm just guessing.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

255. No, she would never have done such a thing

She wouldn't even have left the house in them. For her it was a way to express her dramatic sense of style even as she was losing some of her sense of self.

I really wasn't condoning the outfit as appropriate. The color alone rules that out, and when coupled with the overdone textures of the fabric choices it's beyond over the top. I was simply reflecting on where I think the designer found their misguided inspiration.

[Kurovski]

256. She sounds wonderful.

I keep getting an image somewhat similar to Auntie Mame. Too general I know, but your love and admiration comes through clearly. :hi:

228. Miss Scarlett, are you using the curtains as a dress again?

I think that material matches the tie that Cheney had on the other day

244. God, she looks like a roll of paper towels

Not "Gala" brand, I hope - we all know what THAT sounds like.

[Kurovski]

246. And they used to print them in those colors in the 70's.

Good call.

[MagickMuffin]

245. She hurts my eyes, but this was my impression I thought of when first seeing this eyesore

Look out it's Bright and Shiny, Get Outta the Way before you get run over by our new shiny Retro model of Oldsmobile circa 1950's automobile called the LC.

273. Last year she wore a blue box

[Warren DeMontague]

278. I know. That picture fucked my shit right up.

Really, really bad. I still have nightmares.

283. That blue number is very "Aunt Bea Taylor."

The difference being that Aunt Bea would have ironed her outfit.

275. Mettalic Pastels . . . Not just for Wal-Mart customers anymore.

If those colors were deeper or the material not shiny, it might have worked. But these dresses are hideously shiny and bright. No one would look good in those monstrousities.
