Ann Coulter to Michelle Obama - You're No Jackie O.

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Ann Coulter Bashes Michelle Obama

    Ann Coulter delights in scorching Democrats with scathing political rants -- but who knew the right-wing pundit was an aspiring fashion afficionado? Her new book features a ruthless assault on Michelle Obama's sartorial success.

    Scoffing at comparisons between Michelle and Jacki O, Coulter bemoans the "freakish" fashion of our future First Lady: "the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls -- would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."

    Ironically, this attack is part of the TV personality's new book, titled "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and their Assault on America."

    Predictably, Coulter (who, might we add, isn't exactly a fashion plate) isn't so scathing about fellow conservatives -- she heaps praise on Cindy McCain, writing: "[she] dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history."

    Ann Coulter's snide jabs aside, the fashion community continues to bubble with excitement about Michelle Obama's stylish approach to politics -- and we can't wait to see what she'll wear to the inauguration later this month. Keep reading to see our predictions!

Phillip Bloch calls Michelle Obama

Like so many others, we've been impressed by Michelle Obama's polished, classic and accessible fashion style. Phillip Bloch is also a huge fan, so much so that he and Forest Whitaker's wife devised a special nickname for her: "Blackie O."

Barneys New York hangs election preferences in the window

Filed under: Style in the News


For the last few months, we haven't been able to watch our favorite show or take a walk through our neighborhood without being subjected to everyone's political opinions. And now, even going to Barneys New York makes a political statement.

Support your candidate with your shoes

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes

Political t-shirts? So over. Your candidate on underwear? Yes-ter-day! The newest cool way to show your support is to emblazon your candidate across a pair of Keds.

Through the magic of digital print on demand, Zazzle.com lets you put pretty much any picture on any item and sell it through their online marketplace.

Taking advantage of this technology, dozens of enthusiastic Obama supporters have customized Keds with their artistic interpretation of his likeness.

Mr. McCain also has a selection of shoes that bear his likeness, although we must admit that his supporters are both more traditional and more conservative.

We love a comfy skimmer as much as the next girl, but we're not sure how well this political statement translates into a fashion statement. At least they're easier to change than a bumper sticker.

In the gallery, see what the "shoe designers" came up with for your candidate.

Mr. McCain is ready for his close up

The New York Post, (which is not exactly the newspaper of record, but still, they do tend to get the juicier scoops) reports that presidential candidate John McCain has spent $5,583.43 to pay a make up artist to get him ready for his appearances.

Hey, we understand. We've always wanted to have a personal hair and make up attendant, and you know what? $6k doesn't sound like that much money considering how hard the poor girl has to work. Look at him! He's old! HD is harsh!

We're sure that Cindy "$280k earrings" McCain, paid for the cosmetic services, so it's not like it came out of his government salary. Plus, you could think of it as one more way he's stimulating the economy, by throwing a little cash at the style-worker class. So, thanks John!

Burt's Bees and Julianne Moore team up to promote "natural"

Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style, Green Fashion

Lots of companies claim to be all natural, but when you read the labels (which you must do) the list of scary, crazy chemical ingredients is enough to turn you green - literally and figuratively.

Julianne Moore and Burt's Bees are partnering up to eliminate the need for all that fine print reading and make it easier for us to figure out when products are really all natural.

Along with some like-minded brands, Burt's Bees worked closely with the Natural Products Association to develop a The Natural Seal. When you see the seal you know that the ingredients are at least 95% natural.

Julianne Moore comes into the picture as part of the activity to raise awareness of this seal. With her glowing, translucent skin and natural beauty, she is the perfect spokesperson for this movement.

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

ThoseShirts.com
does something unlike any other t-shirt company we've covered. They make Republicans funny. Actually, quite a few of the t-shirt companies have made Republicans funny, but ThoseShirts.com are laughting with the right, not at them. We know, we didn't think it could be done either.

One Horse Shy: Where shirt meets politics

Filed under: Clothing


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

"They" always say that one should never discuss politics. Look what that got us. Discuss politics, people! "They" need to speak up.

One company that isn't shy, despite their name, is One Horse Shy, but that may be because they "pander to everyone," or at least those of us that enjoy a witty t-shirt.
