    She should get her own version of Katherine Graham's gold boob pendant, but as a pin. It would be less abstract than the glass ceiling pin, but just as awesome.

    I might start using hair accessories as a secret, devious code for my mood and agenda. Let's break it down, shall we?

    Headband: Following the rules, but on my own terms.

    Sparkly hairpin: I'm holding back this hair, but that doesn't mean I'll hold back in this meeting!

    Hair beads: I'm stoned.

    Scrunchie: FUCK YOU.

    I'm in a sorority, so I'm a big fan of pins. I'm trying to think of a job where I can wear my pin somedays, because it is FLIPPIN' SWEET. It is held in place by a tiny gold trident. A FREAKIN' TRIDENT. I can rule a very small ocean with that thing!

    "She finds the media's obsession with her outfits frustrating"....so....she writes a book about the use of her accessories?

    That glass ceiling pin is effing badass, though...

    @Leah Marie: I think there is a difference between talking about the length of her hemline and her pins. Her book shows a woman's appearance is about more than sexuality.

    How does one properly wear a pin, anyway? I've tried but I always feel like I've got a parasite hanging off of me. Is there a way to do it right that I haven't mastered yet, or do you just suck it up and hope nobody notices that you keep thinking that a beetle landed on you?

    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: You wear it on a lapel, but it can't be wider than the lapel, or else you wear it in the spot you would wear a pin-on nametag if you had one. Or you can wear one with a scarf. I love 'em but I only have like two so I don't wear them much.

    @bluebears: They can also work great on a thin sweater. I find the placement depends on the pin, the size of any collar, and how you wear your hair.

    What's the difference between a pin and a brooch?

    (No punchline here, just curious)

    @Yaffle: A brooch is a type of pin. The pin that bluebears posted above you would not be a brooch. Nor would campaign pins, or pins with funny sayings or lapel pins. I would say all the pins pictured in the post are brooches.

    My roommate took her class at Georgetown, and we would all crowd around afterward to get the report.

    What did she talk about? And what PIN did she wear?!?!?

    I love Madeline Albright. She reminds me of my great-grandma.

    I have a lot of pins, but never wear them. Maybe I should finally start.

    So cool. So, so cool. She was my brother's professor at Georgetown and he had her over for dinner a few times; I'm considering tearing his house up for pictures to find out which pins she wore for spaghetti.

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but I never thought very much about her personally (not "didn't think much of her," but never formed an opinion about her). But this is just terrific. I love that she wears things that have meaning only to her, and she seems to enjoy her personal symbolism. It can be such a satisfying thing to have.
