Glamour Editor Reveals Hidden Expertise In Mixed Martial Arts
LatestGlamour‘s Cindi Leive played Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me‘s “Not My Job” last Saturday. She talked about inaugural fashions, and the importance of resisting the temptation to use her pages to nominate bogus trends.
Leive deflected host Peter Sagal‘s invitation to criticize Michelle Obama for, in his words, looking like “clumps of kleenex” were clinging to her chiffon Jason Wu gown — but she did disagree with the protocol sticklers who argued the president made a faux pas when he chose to pair his tux with a white tie instead of a black one. (According to the mindless traditions of men’s formalwear, white bow ties are supposed to be worn with tail coats and tail coats only, not tuxedo jackets.)
“I thought that that was actually a good step,” said Leive, “because she was wearing a white dress, and he was matching the wife. Which I generally think is a good rule for men to follow — you don’t want to clash with the wife.”
She also brought our attention to the fact that Jill Biden‘s Reem Acra gown had an eery resemblance to the dress Miley Cyrus wore to the inaugural concert she co-headlined. The gowns do share a similar coloration and distinctive notched neckline, but on closer inspection, Biden’s draped and gathered chiffon is a world away from Cyrus fille‘s prom-y rhinestone belted satin.
