Oh, I know I'm no Mr. Blackwell, but still...

From Miss Janis who came by it via Miss Ann, this article from Rooters: Hillary Clinton should ditch the trousers: Versace

BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should tap into her feminine side and wear dresses and skirts instead of trousers, fashion designer Donatella Versace was quoted as saying on Thursday.

"I can understand (trousers) are comfortable but she's a woman and she is allowed to show that," Versace told Germany's weekly newspaper Die Zeit in an interview. [...]

Now, in the past I admit I have been more than unkind to New York's junior senator regarding her attractiveness, and most especially her fireplug-like lower legs (which indeed require covering to keep from damaging the retinas of unsuspecting bystanders).

But I have to say that besides me, there is probably only one other person LESS qualified to give advice to someone else regarding external appearance...

Perhaps I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised she would give Ms. Clinton that advice.

That's like to telling my to use cherry-red polish on my thumbnails, or to grow my hair long so the sparseness of it would be highlighted.

Probably had a collagen clot break loose from her lip or something and it made her have a seizure.

Or to wear black turtleneck sweaters, or (gasp) skirts cut at the knee, or...

Hey, don't make me tell about the time a salesman tried to convince me to buy pleated and cuffed pants...

That's nasty!

I have to go now and wash my eyes with soap to get rid of that image! I hope I can keep my lunch down...

Yes, Nate--you wouldn't want to versace on yourself.

Look, what Tom Petty does in his off time is none of my concern.
