Jenna Wears Studded Leather to her Father's Coronation Ball...Cinderella?
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 07:29 PM by KoKo01
Has Jenna emerged as Cinderella after photo's of her falling down drunk..have been all over the internet? What about her charming "giggly" performance at the Repug Convention where she talked about her "little daddy."
Here's the "update" on the Twins Apparel for their Daddy and Mummy's Coronation festivities. All DC will be aghast as the Bush Twins model the latest "in" designerwear. Even Laura has a "knock-out number" bringing "cuffs" back into fashion for ladies for "evening wear."

Be sure to check out the whole site with sketches and descriptions of how the FIRST FAMILY is going to be representing us at the "Gala Balls" all over DC where the Fat Cats are gonna be wearing their furs and glitter all done just to give a "boost to the DC Economy." The doormen, janitors, maid service, taxi drivers, caterers and various other "Bush Economy jobs" dependent on the "Glitterati" from Texas and other parts to come in and be big spenders for the "Coronation."

Be sure to read more... "Gowns Without Pity" is the name of the linked article...seems appropriate for the "spawn" of the Bushes.

The Inauguration: Gowns, Without Pity

Talk about really letting loose for your second term in office: This must surely be the only time in American history that a pillar of the administration—a First Daughter—has planned to wear metallic leather to an inaugural ball.

Jenna Bush—the blonde one—has stated her intention to don such a frock, created just for her by the design duo Badgley Mischka, who specialize in sexy, fussy dresses for desperate-housewife types. The garment has been described as an emerald silk crepe gown with metallic leather banding and jeweled insets. In fact, tiny bejeweled straps appear to hold this dress together across one's back—a fairly saucy construction, but would one expect less from a woman who revealed a bit of bare belly bulging from atop her trousers during her speech at the convention?

1. I love puns: "Gowns. . . without Pity". . . that's great . . .
From the site we learn that while Jenna will don metallic leather, her sister, Not Jenna, "may reveal a soupcon of heinie crack." Man, class all the way. . . won't say what class, or how little, but they're definitely in a class all their own. . .

8. Actually you are correct...Whitehous.gov. has the photo's switched from
the "Voice" article with the link I posted. Jenna's gown is the one with the leather strap across the back according to the article in the "Voice" but the WH article says that's Barbara.

Damned Bush Website can't even get the facts straight...figures...No WMD/LIES FOR WAR/9/11 FAILURES/and Country in MEGA DEFICIT... Their own
website can't even get it all straigh! :eyes:

11. Which is funier?
whitehouse.gov is fine as far as a parody site, but whitehouse.gov is far superior in terms of pure pathos because it portrays itself as "real".

3. Why does the phrase "dancing on graves" come to my mind
every time the subject of all those inauguration balls comes up? How can they? These have to be the most mean spirited, self-centered, calloused sociopaths in our country all coming together in one place. It boggles the imagination.

12. Curtis-Lee Ball?
I wouldn't put it past these psychopaths to have one of the ball sites the Curtis-Lee mansion in Arlington. After the Civil War, in retribution for the rebellion, the top engineer in the Union Army started burying soldiers in Robert E. Lee's grounds, which later became Arlington National Cemetary.

21. YES! Laura hasn't left the fifties...and Edith lives on in the Shirtdress
:D I thought something was familiar in that sketch...But it also could be the wicked stepmother in Snow White's dress...wasn't that movie from the 50's, too?

17. I remember seeing a antibellum dress like that once...
Based off a painting of some soon to be "B-grade" Civil War officer's wife in her "formal day attire". The fabric was a silk taffeta, with broad scarlet red (about 3 inches wide) and white diagonal stripes overall. The dress had a shirtwaist top and leg o'mutton sleeves, two layers of ruffles. Lots of thin lace trim.
It was ugly in the painting, which I think is vaguely famous. The reproduction I saw was also ugly - which was a pity, because the re-enactor wearing it was pretty, had the "looks" of the period, and the colors could look good on her.
I suspect this dress is based off that one. Someone should be a "friend" and inform Laura that "Raspberry" is a horrible color for her; even with a good makeup (not that Mary Kay crap) it will turn her skin bluish. And "Awning" stripes that look to be about 10 inches wide? WTF? Even with her hips, any stripe over 5 inches in width will distort her figure. The trick with wide stripes is to actually use two different colors of the same fabric instead of one striped fabric; the dressmaker evenly proportions them to the shoulders and widest measurements of the bust and hips. And they should be bias'd cut, like an eight panel sheath dress to hang flat.
Are the "royal couple" planning to save face and funding by useing that dress for a reception "patio cover" later on this spring?

Sheesh.

10. Kinky
But then, I'm all for dressing the entirety of the Shrub entourage in studded leather...very, very tight studded leather with very, very tight straps and one-way buckles.

13. I love this line about Laura:
"As for their mother, Laura has, for the moment, traded her boring suits, made, one suspects, by the best tailor in Crawford, Texas..."

14. Familes of dead or injured military
Yet not a peep from the families of the dead and injured or from those maimed soldiers struggling at Walter Reed Army Hospital with the lack of decent medical equipment with which to rebuild their broken lives. They all could put on a hell of a protest Thursday.

Why the hell are these people silent and not marching in the streets. If it was my son who had been killed or wounded you would hear me shouting from the rooftops.

23. This had to be early morning
Jenna looks as if she woke up, grabbed her drink and the blanket from the bed, and then stumbled in and collapsed next to her sister. She SO looks hung over. She could have been blinded with dental floss, too. :silly:

~~AA~~
