WASH POST: 'Condoleezza Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power'

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived at the Wiesbaden Army Airfield on Wednesday dressed all in black. She was wearing a black skirt that hit just above the knee, and it was topped with a black coat that fell to mid-calf. The coat, with its seven gold buttons running down the front and its band collar, called to mind a Marine's dress uniform or the "save humanity" ensemble worn by Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix."

The knee length pencil skirt with sleek boots happens to be very hot at the moment. I noticed it all over Beverly Hills yesterday and thought it looked great. What I don't like to see is those horrid Ugg boots with minis. I don't get it.

LOL.......

Condi is their worst nightmare.

I think that she is an awesome babe.

"There is nothing sexy about a skirt that is just above the knee while wearing boots. A mini skirt with strappy heels is a different story."

I wear the first look all the time when I'm out and about. The second look you talk about is for days spent at home. ;-)

Has anyone mentioned that Cake song: "I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooong JACKET!"?

[Miss Behave]

I posted the lyrics on a couple of the Condi threads. ;-)

One of my favorite songs. A must *volume-up* song. ;-)

<<And do you want her to waste 2 hours a day primping her hair?

<<Do you have ANY comprehension what black women go through with their hair? Ask them. Condi's hair is over the 95 percentile mark on GOOD HAIR for black women.

<<Asking a black women to have 'better hair' is like asking a white woman to get rid of ALL her cellulite.

EXACTLY!!! Among the kazillion reasons to admire this history-making woman, let's talk about looking good -- I mean photog-ready, Page One good -- day after day after DAY. And, as you say, it ain't easy hairwise (esp. for the reasons you list), much less clotheswise. Dudes slip on a suit, and they're done.

She is extremely smart (and smart-looking), in so very many many ways.

Can't wait for 2008!!!

I loved that song the first time I heard it.

" She works out a lot. She could crush you like a twig with her thighs. "

Crush me , please !

[Heatseeker]

LOL! This story certainly has gone on for several days now - it's got, ahem, 'legs'.

*goes off humming a certain Z Z Top song*

Looking back here early this morning ........ that sure is a great picture, isn't it?

[beyond the sea]

Looking back at this this morning............

Sweet!

Just looking back on this in the middle of the night.

I have been noticing the past months that Condi has really improved on her hairstyle as a few of us wished on this thread back in February.

She's looking great these days. Good for her.

ping to post # 233.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Can you post some pictures to illustrate the new look?

[beyond the sea]

I wish I could, but I am computer illiterate in eight different languages.

;-)

You've most likely seen her lately. She got rid of the silly flips in the back, and her hair looks softer somehow. I swear she (or some good close friends of hers) saw our thread. She changed her hair style not very long after that thread.

She looks really good now, much more casual!

Sigh... And she doesn't even know I exist...

Once again I ask, is there anything Condi CAN'T do?!

[Cinnamon Girl]

The white and black jacket is very in. And yes, her hair looks better. Kind of 1940's-ish.
