As a 3 year old, I could make lace socks that I was wearing disappear if I was unsupervised for over 45 seconds.

Clinton on the other hand has kind of dealt with the whole thing by de-emphasizing her gender. I think that has mainly served to help her in political office, but I'm not sure if I would want that to be a mandatory thing in order to serve as a woman in politics.
So, I'm not sure where to go with all that, but those were just my first incoherent thoughts in response to this. Hopefully someone else can add to them and complete them into something better! #womeninpolitics

Men don't emphasize or de-emphasize their gender as politicians. I think women should do the same, and I honestly believe that Clinton is a prime example of this (and not the only woman in politics to have achieved this). #womeninpolitics

Being a hateful fear-monger who was chosen to run for national office solely because she was pro-life and attractive despite her inability to string together several comprehensible sentences or name any newspapers that she reads, who used her unwed, uneducated teenage daughter's pregnancy for political gain, whose policies are hostile to women, this is an admirable example? Sarah Palin is an example of nothing except for the hypocrisy and sexism of the Republican party.
I'm all for Meghan McCain doing her thing and didn't have much of an opinion of her one way or the other until now, but that just makes me think she's an idiot. #womeninpolitics

What exactly does McCain find admirable? Inciting racial tension and terrorist threats against Barack Obama at her hateful rallies? Forcing rape victims to pay for their own rape kits during her tenure as governor of Alaska? Pandering to the dumbest and most insecure conspiracy theorists of middle America?
McCain needs to include some supporting evidence to back up such a bold claim. Because I, for one, am having a really hard time finding any admirable qualities. #womeninpolitics

In many ways, I hope the Republicans (Dems, too) can be less of a platform-party and more of a party of issues; If 3rd parties can never fully realize strength in America, the next best thing, to me, would be a variety of individuals in each party that held integrity, compassion, justice, intelligence, and objectivity in high esteem.
I know... Keep dreaming. #womeninpolitics

A hyperrich white young attractive blonde woman who got an instant platform in the national media because her father is a conservative Republican Senator realizes that some women have it hard. News at 11! #womeninpolitics

Also, I know you may not feel like one, but please: you're 20 years old. You're a woman. Not a girl. Referring to yourself as a girl is probably unconscious, but think about how that impacts how people perceive you, and other 20-year-old women. #womeninpolitics

@amandavmead: Nothing you just said is inconsistent with anything I said. So, um, okay? Yes I do judge her. #womeninpolitics

While MM definitely speaks from a place of (largely unexamined) privilege, you can see she's trying to leave her shelter and slowly get a grip on the world (the world world, not the world invented by the likes of Michelle Bachmann, R-Crazytown) -- even if she's not straying too far from the tent.
I think she's a ninny, but I have to admit I sort of stand behind her stated mission to reform (or at least youngify) the GOP from within. Not that I think it will work. But it's like when my parents wouldn't pull my brother out of Boy Scouts over the gay scoutmaster case, because they reasoned that if all the liberals left the BSA in protest, the organization would have no one left interested in changing its policies. #womeninpolitics

Look, I don't hate the woman, she's not the antichrist, she's not the worst Republican of the bunch, and I hope to heaven that she can convince some of those nutjobs of basic things like "gay people deserve human rights". But I don't like her, and I find that every time she makes the news she speaks from a position of such oblivious, blind privilege that it sets my teeth on edge. #womeninpolitics

More importantly, there's nothing at all about Meghan McCain that says she's trying to pop the "bubble" of her privilege. Where did you get that idea? The way she fell ass-backward into her sinecure? Her self-appointed position as Important Republican Voice? (As much as the Rs do need better voices and serious reform, it takes a hell of a lot of chutzpah to think of yourself as the go-to person to reform one of America's two major political parties before you've ever even held down a job.) Her privilege is entirely unexamined. Realizing that there is such a thing as sexism is not the same as examining your own privilege. And yes, if you are among the most privileged people in the world and don't ever take the time to reflect on that reality or acknowledge its benefits, I will be tempted to villify you. That's the kind of attitude that allows blatant disregard for the less fortunate, and "she didn't ask to be a billionairess" doesn't negate the need for self-awareness with me.
And lastly, I was talking about entry into the real world when I said she's at least 5 years behind her cohort. We both know that there're many people who never think about sexism (though these people are very rarely women), so I surely didn't mean to imply that everyone is an informed feminist by 25. But when you factor in people that start working straight out of high school and people that work their way through community college and/or college, yes. She's very far behind her peers in re: dealing with the real world. #womeninpolitics

Also, Zombies are clearly not Sleepless in Seattle (heyo!)

...Oh, wait.
Also, I'm pretty sure the girls of Blue Crush would describe her hairstyle as "triple overhead," and that's awesome.
That is all.

I think the problem with the show was more in the styling than in the clothes themselves. There are actually some really nice pieces in the collection but they get lost b/c they are paired with a tube top or silly heart pasty thing.
Looking back at the pics from this morning, I think the biggest problem with the collection is that it lacks coherence. Its hard to see how the white jumpsuit from pic #2, the hearts and stripes dress from pic #10 and the blue pants & tube top from pic #23 are even part of the same collection.
Overall, even if Ungaro wanted a celebrity to bring more youthful attention to the brand, I'm not sure Lindsay was the best choice. I don't really see her personal style really meshing with the POV of Ungaro.

Also, I feel like this is one of those instances where someone asks you to lend a hand with a project and then you get thrown under the bus for the entire thing.

But maybe I'm just defending a "cosmetic procedure" I thank God every day I had access to at a young age.

I would be willing to bet that the large majority of orthodontics are done for cosmetic reasons.

And I get tired of British magazines and newspapers poking fun at people with teeth that they have judged to be too perfect or too white, like it's a sign of decadent morals (a la The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire).
