The pantsuits that got Hillary Clinton's vote

GOOGLE " Hillary Clinton's pantsuits" and the thousands of pages that come up are an amalgamation of gentle mockery, a modicum of flattery and all-out derision. Punch line and rallying cry, those suits have been seared into the public consciousness. (Who can forget the bright tangerine number the former presidential candidate wore on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention last month?)

But lost in the clamor was the designer. Turns out that many of Clinton's signature campaign suits were stitched on the first floor of a boutique in the heart of Beverly Hills by Susanna Chung Forest, who has made a name -- and a sizable business -- for herself by dressing female execs of Fortune 500 companies and Holmby Hills socialites.

In the workshop she runs at the Susanna Beverly Hills boutique, she keeps a photo album stuffed with glossy shots of Clinton in some of the designer's pantsuits, a mannequin made to the senator's measurements and reams of sketches and fabric swatches.

The clothes aren't cheap. Jackets are about $3,000, shirts run to $1,350 and pants hover around the $2,000 mark. For first-time clients, there is a minimum three-suit requirement, simply because it costs so much to make the mannequins.

Somewhere in Beverly Hills, a life-sized mannequin of Hillary Clinton exists.

Is there an operation that can be done to remove cankles?
You'd think that by now there'd be some sort of laser surgery or something. Maybe there's something that they could do with stem cells or gene therapy.

Did she pass those things on to Chelsea?

Yikes, I hadn’t seen the orange pantsuit, so just went and dug up a photo of it. There ought to be a law....

“She actually has a beautiful shape, very womanly,”

How could anyone call that ugly pear with appendages leakinf out of it womanly?

"-- and a sizable business --"

In the case of her wide track, sizeable is an understatement!

I have been looking at the photos of Sarah and her outfits.

It is nice to see a woman who knows she can dress like a woman and win.
