1. Looks like a wedding dress...
In the US, that is probably breaking fashion rules, but I know they don't have issues with white dresses in Europe. But she does look good.

Didn't she used to be shorter than him? I swear I thought Barack had a few inches on her.

11. Eh. I usually like how he looks but he's a little too thin to rock white-tie
He'd do better in something like a morning suit with an ascot.

23. Actually yeah
I think Gene Kelly had a better build for that outfit:



Though this is part of a longstanding rant of mine on the lack of variety in men's dress clothing...

34. I'll agree with you on the clothing
But not on the Astaire/Kelly divide.

4. Unlike the awful bland thing that someone else was wearing

She really should get someone other than Stevie Wonder to chose her stuff.

edit to add - don't they both look great in that picture.

12. Lordy, they are fine looking! I am bedazzled by this photo!
The white dress is PERFECT. It sets off her beautiful skin, it has graceful, flowing lines. The gloves are magnificent.

At first I thought he looked a bit "swallowed" by the tails, but I now realize it's just the way that suit looks on any guy. We're not used to seeing it that often...

In the nicest possible way his slight lilt to the right amuses me.

I guess it is BECOUSE HE IS the lucky kid, who got the girl everyone would have been glad to ask. Dam she looks beatifull.. And he look sharp... They are good representivs for your country..

And they are still in love, I doubt this is just for show.. And that is maybe the best, a couple who love eatch other, even when they have the highest office in the world...

15. Dumbya would have worn his official Presidential Seal Boots



And of course Pickles would have picked out something from Draperies r Us.


I am so happy to have leaders that don't embarrass us on the world scene.

18. i wish my elegant mother could have lived to see them!
She loved style so much, in an effortless way. She was absolutely APPALLED when Bush senior barfed all over the Japanese prime minister.

She would just adore that picture...

26. He had some kind of flu virus when he got over to Japan but wanted to be all macho
and go to the dinner with the P.M. Whereupon he got sick. Barbara grabbed a napkin to cover his face but it was too late. Dude should not have tried to pull it off...

28. Poppy Bush was probably drunk, but nobody mentioned that possibility.
Not good diplomacy.

If you know that mutch, dark side, as Bush the elder know, then its a reason he might have been drunk.. If I know that mutch evil I would also have been a drunk idiot..

But yeah, the flue story is a real convised story about what happend... Any way, it was not excactly polite to barf on your host... And I guess the Bush elder was ashamed about it.. He was maybe not the smartest president you have had over there, but I belive he had some decency.. Pitty he never was given that to the next generation.

Ah, that story.. how stupid aren't that... wel at least he feeled the duty was important.. Even with a flu virus in his body...

JR would have make a far more fuzz, if he was to do it.. He would maybe have trown up all over the Emperor of Japan.. And that is a far worse insult than to trow up on a prime minister.. Even tho I doubt that was in his job description in the first place.. But everything for the team you know:P
