@snood,
okay, they're all fat, but apart from moore they're all wearing reasonable looking suits

AM was commenting more on the outfits than mrs o herself

I am commenting mostly on the outfits. Snood, you seem to be taking some offense and I mean no offense. I think she is an extremely attractive woman that could dress better.

Women notice what other women wear more than we do men. It's not meant as a double standard nor a slight.

I can see where Snood is coming from. That being said, I looked through all 95 pictures and I think Mrs. O is a style maven. I love most of her outfits. Seriously, who among us doesn't have some scary things in the closet? She can wear colours I would never dream of wearing, she's incredibly fit and her shoulders are enviable.
Many of the photos of her are unflattering though, I doubt any of us could live up to the constant scrutiny.

whoa - someone really hates most of the posts on this thread

apparently we're no longer allowed to talk about fashion here at a2k

shame, it's got a long-standing tradition - some of our best threads (ha!) have been about shoes and socks and hair and clothes

shame on the hater eh

we're gonna keep talking about fashion

I reject your characterization of what I said. I don't hate anyone's posts, nor am I saying anyone's not allowed to do anything. What I said was true.

It's TRUE that prominent women's looks and clothes get skewered more than men. It's TRUE that often when that happens, some woman somewhere will raise the valid point that it perpetuates a double standard, and hinders the day when women can be taken seriously as equals.

If you don't agree, I'm fine with that. If you don't care whether what I said was true or not, that's cool too. No need to mischaracterize and be snotty about it. Talk about clothes.

There's a person here on A2K who consistently down-rates every single post of yours, Beth. I consistently try and up-rate them whenever I see that.

Just to be clear, I don't think it's anyone posting in this thread, but instead a lowly trollish type.

Fashion threads are fine, ehBeth, but djjd indicated this was about skewering sacred cows.

I don't know that she is sacred, but i don't think you should be calling her a cow, Wandel . . . she's actually rather svelte . . .

@wandeljw,
actually, that wasn't what i was trying to say, i gathered snood felt it was skewering a bovine he held sacred, i thought that AM made it clear that she thinks mrs o is a fine looking woman and was mystified by some questionable clothing choices (if any one was skewered it was probably a bunch of designers who all want to get their rags on display)

now i'm hungry, we got any shish kabob around this joint

@Tai Chi,
Rockhead still owes me from the time I paid for his dinner. Also, we have given ehBeth and Set something to talk about at dinner. You know how that goes, Set apologizes, ehBeth forgives him. They both end up.......................

Okay, back to the clothes. ehBeth, I think this is my least favorite outfit on her. This one just makes me go, "What WAS she thinking?"

I'm used to the consistent down-thumbing of my posts (thanks for the love Cool ) - but when I came in earlier, it was almost every post on the thread - except for two.

Bizarre.
