    Oh, and the NYT said that Madoff couldn't go to her salon anymore (the owner asked her not to because other patrons had lost money with her husband). So there's that.

    She already knew for months and they had already split, as my understanding goes. What is the media expecting here?

    Oh, I wanta play!


    When Mark Sanford wares a black suit, it represents the darkness of his soul, and also how remarkably boring he is.


    When he wears a red tie, it represented the PASSION he felt for his lady of the exotic tan lines. When he wares a blue tie, it represents the COLDNESS he felt in his marriage. When he wears a striped tie, it represents his CONFUSION over his love life. And when he wears polka dots, it represents his stupidity.

    I like to advertise my emotional state via my clothing choices, but since I don't believe in making people think too hard, when I'm recovering from being publicly cheated on and humiliated, I run around in my I'm Fucking Miserable, You Fucking Fuck! tee shirt and a ratty old thong. Then people can really tell how I feel.



    Also I like to run as many errands as possible while attired this way, so there's no public speculation or confusion about how I'm doing: poorly.

    I think they are also being reduced to their grooming because they aren't saying enough of or even what the media wants to hear, perhaps. A dissection of their clothing choices gives the media a place to speculate, to fill in the blanks, and to write little thought balloons over their heads.


    And yeah, it's 'cause they're women. No one is speculating about what Gov Sanford is thinking based on his suit, and it isn't just because his TMI-OFF button was broken.

    The whole "LET'S SPECULATE ENDLESSLY ON WHAT FAMOUS JILTED WOMEN ARE WEARING" thing is best illustrated in the case of Jennifer Aniston, who we all know has been wearing widows weeds and hair shirts for the last eighty years because of her OMG HEARTBREAK. She practically lives in a decrepit old manor with her rotted out wedding cake and is sooo saaad every day. The ocean levels aren't rising - it's just Jennifer Aniston crying into them.

    Except her pants are just screaming "sexting with Brad," so fuck, I don't know what to think anymore, and I no longer believe in love.

    She comes across as a woman set free. Everything about her style is breezy.


    Perhaps that's because it's summer in South Carolina?

    We could turn Clothes Divining into a game. It will be the new big "get to know you" game at awful cocktail parties and okay corporate retreats.

    I'll go first: I am wearing gold flip flops and a empire-waist sundress in a pattern Vogue descriped as "Ethnic" and I haven't bothered to brush my hair yet. Now, you have to guess my mood.

    Jenny Sanford should fuck with us by wearing costumes that look like they're from a "Traditional Clothing Of The World!" picture book. Lederhosen one day, a sari the next, then some kente cloth and then a toga.


    People would not know what to think.

    As for Franken, just wait until her husband does something naughty, then you'll hear all about her attire!


    Seriously. What this comes down to, really, is that these women are thought of as accessories. Accessories that walk and talk, but ornamental nonetheless.

    So why are both reduced to their grooming?


    Because they have vaginas.


    Really, I can understand it more with Madoff, simply because the way one presents his/herself usually speaks to their peg on the social (read: $$$$) hierarchy.
