I'm sure fashion would have survived even had Hillary been elected. Granted, dictator chic would probably not have caught on widely, but there are women who still care about their appearance even if liberal politician women don't.
Friedman writes wistfully about how Michelle Obama delighted fashion people...
Um, yeah. For all the early gushing about Michelle's exquisite fashion sense, she did not start any kind of fashion trend. Did anyone besides Michelle ever wear boob belts?
Even worse: Melanias wardrobe appears bought off the rack, as opposed to one that she had worked with the designer to create. Literally.
Hmm, I wonder what they would make of a creative woman who makes her own clothes? What if the First Lady's passion were to set up a sewing room and make her own clothes? If she is a Republican, the fashion press would probably portray her as so parochial that she is an embarrassment to the country.
In our area, we could very easily spot the devoted female obama worshipers because they wore their boob belts proudly.
