Are clown suits allowed?
I was in DC last week as a tourist and what I wore would have been appropriate to go into the White House. This is not an unbearable burden.
If I were going to be a visitor, rather than a tourist, I would want to be even more dressed up.
A couple of months ago, I was at Versailles, outside of Paris, and they were ejecting a young lady because her shoulders were bare. They were saying that she knew what was appropriate before she entered. Our guide was in total support.
When we go to the Vatican soon I will have to wear a long skirt and cover my shoulders. I will just go back to the hotel and change clothes for the rest of the days events.
Whatcha wanna bet they don't allow hats either but nobody thought to mention it.
There is money to be made here for a vender that can sell cheap shoes and jackets:’)
Mini-skirts and tank tops are an adaptation to global warming...
Anyone who lives in or near DC hate the ‘tourists’....please stay home...all of you....
they can see me that I am ok but I have no clue who the heck they are?
Are these allowed?
Oh well, they make the rules.
We had decided to go to DC next year but will go back to Caribbean instead....Never been to DC and thought it might be fun to tour our Capital....We are in Pennsylvania so its a short day trip to DC....I am disabled though and I cant wear dress shoes. I must order New Balance black sneaker type with velcro closure. I was looking forward to touring the White House...damn....just damn
The guard at the Tower of London made me button my blazer jacket when visiting the crown jewels. A friend had a similar experience at Lenin’s Tomb. I cannot imagine visiting the White House dressed like some people dress for church these days. Acually, I can’t imagine going to church dressed the way some people dress for church these days.
Yeah, the way things are going with this administration this about fits. I bet if you are illegal you can come in wearing whatever. Or, if you are of the muslim faith, you cant stop right in middle of tour for prayers. But Joe average American. You better dress right. You are setting such a fine example.
Whoa. I’m glad I didn’t wear flip flops.
NO JEANS?????
That's freakin' UN AMERICAN!!!
2 scenarios:
SCENARIO #1
‘im handicapped my feet are such that i can only walk when i wear tennis’
...or
‘my physician says that my degenerative foot condition will return if i don’t wear tennis’
Enter a team of Disablily ACT lawyers who beat the admin. to a pulp with lots of lawsuits and lurid headlines.
RESULT: 5 million republican votes swirl down the drain....brilliant
SCENARIO #2
A liberal moderator during a democrat debate questions any and all democrat candidates to wit:
“I’m gonna throw this out to all the champions of the poor we have on our stage tonight...just what do you all think of this bush admin. draconian ban on comfortable shoes for the poor blistered feet, especially the poor blistered handicapped feet, of poor, hot, tired and innocent whitehouse visitors....?
ANS: ‘well chris this is just another in a long, long line of examples of REPUBLICAN disregard for the pitifully down trodden in our country....
you know as well as i do that the rich among, us WELL they can afford those expensive wingtip and prada shoes.
AND why not? The mean rich republicans gave them those tax cuts awhile back so now they have the money to buy rich man’s shoes!
THEN you know what happened? These same cruel republicans turned right around and told the poor they cant wear comfortable tennis shoes when the come a callin at the whitehouse. Chris, these shoes are the only ones the wretches can afford after the hard work they perform all day earning their fully taxed, puny paychecks......
Isn’t this TYPICAL, CHris, yes it IS typical. Typical of the utter contempt that rich reptilian republicans in thier alligaor shoes have for the savagely poor of our country?
result: another couple of million votes go democrat...BRILLIANT.
They should be allowed in however they care to show up.
I like this. In Eastern Europe we were even encouraged to where longer sleeves over a sleeveless blouse. Not everyone did it. But I know they appreciated those of us who did.
