What were the Queen and the First Lady thinking?

[Cleita]

Yup. Time for another fashion bash. My mother had a suit like Laura's back in the forties, which she accessorized with a print scarf, an attractive hat and gloves, not to mention just the right touch of tasteful jewelry . Laura looks like she should grab a sales book and start writing a receipt for the Queen's hat.

And what is it with the Queen's hat? I mean this is the absolute worst I have ever seen. Does she intend to wear that for tea with the Presidential couple? Is the mad hatter and Alice invited?

So now I need a saucer of milk.

1. Oh damn! I KNEW I should have gone for the three-strand pearls!!

One-strand pearls are SOOO 1950s!

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. with the new paint job you hadly notice

that I took this outfit from an old episode of Star Trek the Next Generation. :)

3. Well right after his ABC's we do a little Math and then it's nappy time nt

[Kolesar]

4. The Queen kind of has a "Stop Making Sense" padded jacket look going

You know, like that jacket that David Byrne of the Talking Heads wore during his Stop Making Sense tour. The jacket was oversized and it made his head look tiny.

5. Geezus

I think Laura needs some "Queer eye for the straight woman"!!! Slap some highlights into that hair baby!!! Throw on a flashy red dress and you will be sizzlin'!!

That is just my reccomendation for Laura.

6. Queen notices that ...

Pickles is wearing a dress that looks strikingly like the Drapes in the guest room ... Hey !!!

Cheers

7. call me crazy - but i kinda like the queens hat.

and lets be honest - ol' pickles has gone out in public with much worse duds than she has on in this pic., but thats just damning with faint praise. :)

[xultar]

9. CRAZY....I dig it also. I think her LID is SWANKY! n/t

[omshanti]

12. Yup, it has a certain flair...

I like the hat, too.

[pink_poodle]

13. Yup, I like it too and it's a lot more chic than a lot of hats..........

she has worn in the past. This one is not so "mummsy" as others she has - cool!!!

[Blue_Chill]

17. Agreed queenies hat is da shizznit.

fo rizzle.

8. Re: Her Majesty's hat

The Cat in the Hat DOES open this weekend. ;-)

[Catshrink]

26. Yup -- it's the cat's hat without the stripes

that's what I was thinking but you beat me to it....

10. ROFL! When I saw the Queen's hat I thought "Mad Hatter" and wondered

if it was some sort of joke to show her disapproval of Shrub. They say she has a great sense of humor, unlike what she seems in public.

Laura's suit has a real 50's look to it. But, then that's the era they admire the most.....she and shrubby so it's sort of in keeping.

[Cleita]

11. If Laura put a print scarf with a pin around the neck

instead of Barbara Bush's pearls, and if she wore a hat, even a Jackie Kennedy style pill box hat, and some gloves, she would looked dressed like a First Lady, not any office cube worker.

It's really disgraceful, especially to meet a figurehead of state, like the Queen, without taking into consideration the protocol of the country being visited. And, don't say it's because they are Texans. I have met plenty of Texans who know how and when to dress for the occasion.

[pink_poodle]

15. Definitely. She is dressing far too timid and it shows that.............

she has no confidence. It also shows that she is taking a "back seat" to hubby in case he feels that she is trying to upstage him, unlike Diana/Charles, Jackie O/Kennedy - both of these wives had no problems showing off.

[chaska]

14. What are ya'll talkin' about?

I think they both look nice. The queen looks awesome. Everything works. That hat is so much fun. And that color she's wearing is amazing. Bush lady would look stupid in a hat, and she'd be too tall to stand beside the queen. that outfit is plain and that's okay, it is at least figure flattering.

...am I turning gay all of a sudden? <G>

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. They were thinking they could scare off the protestors by blinding them

[Cleita]

20. Eh, that's what the crown jewels are for.

[mr blur]

18. Either...

"What are we doing married to these morons?!
or
"What the hell does one have to do to get a drink/pills/cocaine round here?"
or
"I got my job because my parents were stinking rich ultra ring-wing manipulative bastards - how did you get yours?"

[peterh]

19. Pickles: Soooo…your Queenship or whatever….

Do ya ever miss having the power to just say…off with his head? I tell ya….my dubya was sure a history buff in school and he just swears he was born in the wrong era….boy, the power the royalty had back then….but enough about you…do ya think, if it were possible….that I would make a great Queen….

The Queen: memo to self….fumigate on Friday….

[shance]

21. God Save the Queen!

Ive just been blinded by lavendar. Somebody help*****

[HEyHEY]

22. Did they steal those dresses from a curtain store?

[Ilsa]

23. I think the Queen looks lovely.

Mostly. The hat is alot, but I like hats.

Laura looks underdone and washed out. She needs help.

[DS1]

24. HAHA! MINE ARE VELCRO SO MY HUSBAND CAN

FUCK ME BEFORE HIS WOOD GOES SOFT, AHH DAMN, YOU DON'T EVEN GOTTA HUBBY. HOW'S MR. V TREATIN YA?

/because, we all know, she's the type that sends out emails in all caps.

[Palacsinta]

25. The queen has "style"

so even though I don't particularly like it, I admire her for sticking with it..........and the hat ia a gas! But Laura..............she looks quashed and overmanaged, as usual. If I knew that this look of hers was her idea, I might change my mind, but I don't think it is..........couldn't be!! I'm sure she is dressed so that not the slightest whisper will ever emerge 'bout her duds, and I do mean DUDS!
