“I said, ‘What about American women in the past who have inspired me?” Clinton said of the dress concept while speaking to Vanessa Hudgens and Vogue editor at large Hamish Bowles.

Some women are famous because they are talented and smart.
Others are famous because they boinked a crooked politician.
Wanna classify the Hillabeast?

If Hillary were honest about it, I'm sure Ilse Koch's name would be on that dress.

She looks just like a bottle of "Mrs. Butterworth" pancake syrup.

Vivian Leigh looked super in drapes. Hillary, looks like Hillary, dumpy with cheeks like a squirrel storing nuts.

Those photographers behind her are installing their super wide angle lenses because the are photograping her big ole backside.
