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.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe she just returned from filming her spot in a commercial for yeast infection cream.

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

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.

@VintageVixen: What a dick.

People would not know what to think.

Everyone loves a crazy lady.

She might be able to pull it off. She could be the white lady version of Andre 3000.

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

Apparently Mark Sanford's style of writing is catching on. This is not a good thing.

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.
