Fashion Chic - The Other Condi Controversy
"Now comes Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
With her Oscar de la Renta scarlet silk gown, her knee-high boots and long jacket, her pastel Akris suits and jaunty flip, she's making women in Washington watch with a mixture of envy, awe and inspiration.
"I think she's amazing," said Mrs. Al-Sabah. "She is dressing feminine, yet she's serious-minded. I think she's got a lot of style." ("Dressed for the Capitol kill," By Stephanie Mansfield, THE WASHINGTON TIMES, June 27, 2005)
You could say that when it comes to Washingtonian femdress Ms. Rice does not follow fashion, she creates it. Another sign that this woman, who holds serious power within the Bush administration, is her own woman. She does not wet her finger to the wind and consult with the White House Social Office, Hollywood super stars, or brain dead pundits for her fashion direction.
Our country is slowly having its intellectual vigor and spiritual life blood sucked out by pseudo intellectuals and their mind numbing political correctness and conventional wisdom concepts. Politicians who can see no further than their own political future and reëlection will never throw theirselves on the "cultural grenades" that are blowing apart our nation. These folks won't even change the knot on their tie without public opinion polling and focus groups.
Perhaps this little bit of Condoleezza Rice fashion drama does suggest she could be an ideal candidate in 2008. I don't believe that it would ever happen, but, Big Bubba will state without any reservation whatsoever that if our choices were to be either the Ice Queen or Condoleezza Rice I would go with Condi.

Duck, when I was doing this I had a thought. Where would Algore be today if he had the advice of Condoleezza Rice on how to stand up and be a man?
Big Bubba was listening to the Black Queens of Comedy Tour show the other night. Condi brings to mind what one of the queens observed, if I may in my own words,
"Girl, I don't care what you think is wrong with your looks there's some #*@!!@#!er out there who'll love your black #@#@!!@! You got buck teeth so bad you could eat an apple through a picket fence? There's some #*@!!@#!er who's looking for a woman exactly like that."
I'll give black folks credit. That's much more colorful than our "there's a lid for every pot."
Condi does seem to have her own "fashion sense" as the selection of pictures from the mr. ducky site seem to indicate... she wears everything "frontline chic" to "Haute couture" and sports all kinds of different hair styles to suit different occassions(including the James Brown!). Hats don't seem to flatter her much, as the w/Collin Powell pics would prove... nope, that Dr. Zhivago look just doesn't quite cut the mustard. The lid don't fit the pot.
But yes, she's defintely her "own woman". She's a self-mover. I like that!

Personally I thought the little fur beanie looked cute. Maybe I will have an ambitious day where I post a boyhood picture of Big Bubba wearing his Hudson Bay Company fur hat with flaps. It was my favorite winter time wear way up north to Alaska.
