Thanks to all for your (as usual) snarky comments. Breeze, especially enjoyed the "first things first" link. That Jon Stewart, he's a bad, bad boy.

Maybe he's a Republican? :)

Has to be wholesale sample, second or overstock.. I'm sure they all are, which would explain the poor fit of almost everything she wears. I wonder if that Goldman woman picks up Talbot's seconds and overstocks also. I can't imagine Mizrahi letting a high prifile client wear an ill fitting design. Would not be good for his reputation

Women's Wear Daily reports that the Isaac Mizrahi dress cost $1850. "It was not known whether she paid retail or wholesale." It's described as "raisin colored with a knit top and silk ottoman skirt" and purchased through Ikram Goldman...guess that's her Chicago pal.

Does it matter? Unless he paid her to wear it, it was a gigantic ripoff.

Usually Mz. Mo comes off looking like lawn furniture. In that get up she looked like a futon from Dennis Rodman's beach house.

2010-01-29T07:39:02.979-05:00

I saw the rear view of MO - was there someone else in the dress with her? Did they live to tell about it? No way was that just one body under that skirt.

2010-01-29T02:46:39.315-05:00

Ah, but Anon, you probably don't have as gigantic a back porch as Big MOBO. Luckily I have a proportioned 5'6" frame (although I need to lose the famous 10lbs) and I do find knife pleats can be fairly forgiving...depends too on what you wear on top. Needs to be balanced rather than Big MOBO's tight cardigans or painted on unitard.

I'd be surprised if any figure couldn't benefit from an empire waist, A-Line though, just below the knee. Certainly Big MOBO should cover hers. No one could tell that Audrey Hepburn, though thin, was a little pear shaped because she and Hubert Givenchy were expert in camouflage. Jackie also benefited from the empire A-Line. Big MOBO should be so lucky.

2010-01-29T01:02:52.712-05:00

Madame DeFarge, I'm pear-shaped and short, so I understand the frustration of finding that the most sophisticated styles (sheath dresses, pencil skirts, narrow pants) don't work. The styles that suit a pear shape unfortunately often look overly youthful.
I disagree with you a little on "never wear pleats," because flat knife pleats actually work well on me. They add a bunch of vertical lines and disguise the bad parts without flaring out in a girly way.

srdem65 -- I don't know if taffeta is a good choice for anyone not in a wedding party. There are many lovely and more forgiving fabrics.

I'm thinking more about that tattoo...maybe a Black Liberation clenched fist with "WH 2009" in script under it. Arms or ass? I think arms. The ass tattoo needs something that won't get lost on that vast expanse. Perhaps we should have a contest.

Me-shelle just needs some frilly ankle socks and shiny mary janes to complete the ensemble. I swear American Girl has a companion doll and mini-me dress. The purple eggplant suits her royal airs.

2010-01-28T14:35:39.281-05:00

Good God! What a disaster! The #1 rule for pear shapes...NO PLEATS. She's trying to cover up the ginormous ass with box pleats! LOL! And to top it off she chooses a fabric that makes her look like she's wearing a box pleated tent...complete with puckers! Whenever WILL she get it? A-Line dresses with no belt, you cow (apologies to the bovines).

Her rehearsed tilted head and little girl hand gesture..."Oh, you silly! Me?" She followed by motioning her subjects in Congress to sit down. Manipulative and crass, Queenie. Then, in his best boyish attempt to be cutesy, Candy Cane Man says: "She gets embarrassed." No, Mr. Speech Recycler, WE are the ones embarrassed by the least socially astute couple in the history of the WH. Amateurs! Amateurs! Out of their element, over their heads, and clueless beyond belief.

Don't you love it when he thinks he's "made a funny" and turns himself inside out with his ear to ear smile? Sooooo proud of himself. So precious, practiced and manufactured. He duplicates this on a regular basis...inauthentic and always inappropriate. It's no laughing matter, you boob.

I look forward to seeing this moronic duo in costumes befitting their maturity: Little Boy Lost in a first grader's short pants, knee socks, cardigan and propeller beanie. Fat Ass in an organdy, lavender, full skirted dress (with crinolines)Peter Pan collar and very, very shiny Mary Janes. Lots of lace trim. Don't forget the Hula Hoop and oversize hair bow.

Yes, they continue to inspire. Nouveau riche trailer trash that they are. All I want to know is when does Big MO get a Black Lib tattoo on those Stevedore arms?

It's been a while since I needed a cocktail dress so could you younger ladies help me?
Do women really wear taffeta dresses today?
I've always associated taffeta with little girl's Holiday dresses and the unfortunate bridesmaid gowns. It's such a cheap and unforgiving fabric.

When I was a kid, there was a popular song: "It was a One-eyed, One-horned, Flying Purple People Eater".

Now I know what one looks like!

This person is verrry insecure re: her 'shape'; hence, the raised waistlines that attempt to cover her protruding midriff.

2010-01-28T14:09:47.522-05:00

Cinderella -- thank you! Oh, the horror! From the back that dress makes her already large derriere look HUGE. The dress looks like it's made for someone at least two sizes smaller. A size 20 petite?

Breeze, I think that's a keenly biting and revealing commentary of BO. It's really mysterious the way he takes that travelling talk kit with him even to meetings. There's alot they're keeping from the public.
