Elizabeth Warren is sending you a subliminal (fashion) message with her sleeves(heap big barf alert)
Washington Post ^ | May 26, 2016 | Robin Givhan

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren moves with the fleet-footed bounce of a featherweight fighter - an agile pugilist who has been using Twitter to deliver jabs and hooks to Republican front-runner Donald Trump. She is not an especially elegant fighter, but she's fast - throwing a barrage of blows: "loser," "pathetic," "weak."

And in person, too, her style is aerodynamic, with her short sandy hair, rimless glasses, necklace-free decolletage and tiny stud earrings. She is nearly accoutrement-free as she moves against the head winds. She looks quick and agile. Flexed for a fight. And her sleeves are always rolled up - literally and metaphorically. She is ready to get her hands dirty.

Warren favors trim jackets in bold, TV-friendly colors: turquoise and raspberry, purple and shades of Twitter blue. Her jackets just brush her hips; the lapels are minimal; and she often keeps her collar popped, as if the blazer must do the work of a coat because she simply does not have time to be bothered with a trench. She must stay loose, limber. Warren likes bracelet sleeves, which end several inches above her wrists, but she typically does not wear a bracelet or even a watch. If her jacket sleeves are not cropped, then they are folded back.

On the public stage, her clothes always suggest that she is ready to get down to business, to cut to the chase.

Here we go again! They gushed about Madeleine Albright’s brooches when she became Secretary of State. They gushed about Nancy Pelosi’s pastel color coordination when she became Speaker of the House. Now they are gushing about Lie-awatha’s sleeves now that she is in the public eye. Isn’t this a bit, uh, un-PC and sexist to focus on a woman’s clothing????

There seems to be a tingle running up and down the author's leg. I didn't read the entire article; did the author talks about Elizabeth's high cheek bones, "clear evidence that she is an actual Indian and not a pretend one"?

And if Lizzy is Hilly's running mate, would that make Bill Clinton think of Lizzy as a Cigar Store Indian?

I don’t suppose this WaPo writer has any idea how slobbering her writing sounds.

Senator Warren lies. She falsely claimed Native American heritage to gain a tenured teaching position at Harvard.

She is a liar which makes her the perfect spokes-Native American for Hillary, the greedy and completely unaccomplished, Clinton.

And they both have vaginas, but nobody goes there!

Trump doesn’t roll his sleeves so “He isn’t like you, he seems to say; instead, he can fix you. He can fix America. “

Seriously. The rolling of sleeves tells us we should vote for Bernie(he rolls them, too!) and Warren? This is stupidity beyond belief.

I’ve never noticed a person’s sleeves. Well, except for Michelle O’s distasteful lack of them.
