Okay I get that no one says much about what the POTUS wears and society really is biased when it comes to female fashion/ageism, etc...however???!!!

This is Ann Romney appearing on the Tonight Show and all I can do is

Can you imagine the field day FOX would have if Michelle walked onto the View in this outfit??

And I've read that on a website called MormonDiscussions.com, some members of the LDS church are concerned that she might not be wearing "garments." What do you all think? I mean, is it okay in a nightclub setting? Appropriate for a potential first lady? Trying too hard? Personally I think it's tacky and the shoes are too much. Separately I like them, but all together it's too much. Her hair looks great though!

chell has worn crazy expensive clothing too... so what? the Rom's are not putting down the rich like the Ob's are. So no, there is not really any comparison.

and if she has on her garments or not is no one's concern. why is okay for the media to make fun of their relgion: one scum bag asked her to SHOW her garments. Now that is an outrage!

I have no idea how much this outfit cost but it doesn't look expensive at all. I think it looks cheap. If Michelle was wearing it I'd think the same thing.

And the comments about her 'garments' were from her own Mormon people. I have as much disdain for her religion as I do for any other that believes in aliens, blood laws, or makes up their own rules and laws as they go along. I also believe religion has zero place in politics.

BTW, did you get upset and post here about the media going after Obama being called a Muslim (as if that in itself is a bad thing) or attending Wright's church???

it was hillary that first made the muslium claims.... i do not see it as an attack, can you post ONE example of him being attacked or mocked over his faith?

Let's stay on the topic please people.

I'd say Mrs. Romney is trying to look young. The trick is looking youthful while making it seem that you're not trying which she already achieved with the hair and makeup.

The jacket wouldn've worked better with a regular pencil skirt especially with those shoes. Three ornate pieces is a bit much at her age IMO.

so she has no fashion? and too old? really? I do not get why what she has on is grounds for attack?

Everything she wears, does, and says is grounds for attack. It's time for the attacked to attack back. This Republican attack thing feels pretty good

Where did I say she has no fashion...stop doing that. At your age you should know that women tend to scrutinize each other much moreso than men. It's what we do and critique is a more accurate term for it.

The info that Noim posted about the temple garment came from a Mormon website so you may want to register your complaint about attacks over there.

FYI, I also did not call her too old so you can stop lying about that too. Most people reconize that there is a middle ground between young and old unless they're deliberately trying to be either combative or obtuse.

I was asking clearflying questions. nothing more. there was NO implied anything in any of them.

Fair enough, although I had already remarked that she achieved the youthful look with the hair and makeup. She looks nowhere near 62.

I just agree with Noim that the jacket and the skirt and the shoes combined is a little too much going on.

she is 62? nice!

yeah i do not like it much, that layered look... looks like scales.... but not something I would notice if it was not mentioned.

I;m sure she paid enough to surgeons and for hair dye to NOT LOOK 62

These are the "garments" the Mormon's are talking about. She is supposed to be wearing them at all times.

CNN debunks false report about Obama

1/22/07

http://articles.cnn.com/2...M:POLITICS

Insight attributed the information in its article to an unnamed source, who said it was discovered by "researchers connected to Senator Clinton." A spokesman for Clinton, who is also weighing a White House bid, denied that the campaign was the source of the Obama claim.

He called the story "an obvious right-wing hit job."

The Insight article was cited several times Friday on Fox News and was also referenced by the New York Post, The Glenn Beck program on CNN Headline News and a number of political blogs.

looks like she could have them on, but no one other than a Mormon should mention them at all. it is being used as a slur against them. The recent network story on the faith was a hit piece. The slim asked the lady to show her garments.

honestly, i think discussing the first lady's (or in this case potential FL) wardrobe is silly and meaningless, but... as a project runway fan, it looks like someone took plastic tablecloth covers and made them into a skirt a la PR's 99 cent store material challenge

as someone often forced to watch that show I have to agree.

Oh stoppit you two...y'all know that we ladies like doing the fashion critique thingy sometimes.

Chris...

I think her bracelet quite lovely, though.

^But that would be from the Piperlime wall of accessories.

The skirt would look better if it were an actual dress instead of just a skirt. Get rid of the shirt and vest. It needs to be an actual dress held up with straps with lots of cleavage showing. It also needs to be shorter and put on some fishnet stockings and garters and maybe a waist length fur.

Hilarious!!!! I couldn't even begin to imagine Ann Romney in something like that.
