Does this lepard-print ensemble make me look like a ho?
Filed under: Style in the News
David Vitteris in hot water. Not only was the US Senator recently revealed as a client of "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey's "escort service," but his wife appeared with him on national television dressed like a total ho. At least, that's how Keith Olberman would describe it. The host of Countdown ran this graphic (at right) when discussing Vitter's scandal, insinuating that the senator's wife is dressed like a prostitute. Zing!
Some people have their undies in a bunch over whether or not Olberman's use of the word "ho," was appropriate, but the real question is: was he right? Granted, the leopard-print is pretty skanky, plus the high sleeves and plunging neckline show a little more skin than your average politician's wife, but I'd stop short of calling her a ho.
That said, there's no question that the top is a fashion faux pas. Mrs. Vitter looks like an older version of those trashy women from 80s movies that always show up whenever there's a scene in a "tough" biker bar.

Give the poor woman a break. She just looks tired. She has to deal with a very personal family issue being thrust into the spot light because of her husband's occupation.

her dress looks just like the one that katie holmes has been photographed in non stop - she looks as good in it too - sadly the blob next to her (the cheater) ruins the photo.. leave her alone - doesn't she have enough to deal with?

How petty people are tonight. The senator's wife looks fine and either you don't like women at all, or you don't know what a Ho looks like. Her dress is well designed, her sleave length is appropriate for the season, and the so called "plunging" neckline is refined and shows NO cleavage.
You must be used to women in mu mu's.
Also, and I don't know if this is supposed to go here or someplace else,
the critic before you who wrote about Liza's pants must not be blessed with her great legs and must resent her looking "put together" and in shape. Don't wear those pants if you can't, but don't try to control other women by the use of intimidation. She wasn't attending a funeral! And why pick on someone who has had more than her share of disappointments and manages to come back smiling! I say good for Liza.
