(repost) Bad fashion for vile people?

From the **POLITICS** tribe. Too funny to not share with others!

During the RNC raid on NYC ’s grief, my GF and I sneaked into Macy ’s, figuring it would be deserted and we could cop on some of the sales.

There were less people than usual, but there were also Republicans.

How did I know? Because people from New York and surrounding areas don ’t wear glitter and taffeta red, white and blue ball gowns DURING THE DAY.

Or parade their daughters around half naked in the latest Brittany/Christine slut wear.

And men in the civilized world do not wear pastel pink, lime and beige adult baby world stretch pants and loose tees to not cover their protuberant girth. And mullets? The latest thing. And not ironically, either. And the women all had these terrifying Bad Perm fluffy cuts that looked like a gene splice between an electrified poodle and Echo and several Bunnymen.
That is, when they didn ’t have Farrah wing shags.

I mean, what is the *deal* with these people? Being conservative doesn ’t necessarily mean looking like your fashion sense has been preserved in a time machine set on gauche.

I mean, how does Laura Bush buy a $20,000 gown and end up with something that looks like an off-the-rack number from Auntie Binnie ’s FormalWare? And W ’s $3,000 dollar French suits? One step up from Ralph Nader ’s clothing-as-penance look.

The conservative writer Tom Wolfe once said that everything you need to know about a person, you can see in what they ’ve chosen to wear.

Based on what I saw, these clothes stated: I wish it was the 50s but the 70s will do; Having my daughter look like a very cheap whore will teach her her place in the free market place; I ’m really scared of being taken for a fag; I ’m even more scared to look like anything but everyone else. And if I'm rich, I will wear the most godawful, sub-Nudies' nightmare-wear as long as it's in flag colors.

But more than that, it evinces an absolute dislike for aesthetics and a proud ignorance of what's going on on Earth.
