Will someone please get madame Wintour a saucer of milk?
Is Anna Wintour pressuring designers to steer clear of Ann Romney?
LOS ANGELES – ”Honored to see First Lady Michelle Obama wearing our Spring 2013 dress at the final presidential debate,” boasted the Twitter account of fashion label Thom Browne soon after Monday night’s debate. Yet over at the Twitter account of OscarPRGirl, the official publicist for Oscar de la Renta, not a word was uttered about the fact that Ann Romney had donned a dark teal dress from the designer’s collection.
But that’s nothing new.
Designers, stylists and fashion industry publicists routinely clamor to outfit First Lady Michelle Obama, with press releases flying out the door any time she sports a certain brand. Fashion publications praise her designer selections and several books have been published that are solely devoted to analyzing her style and taste.
However, the fashion world has remained particularly quiet on the Ann Romney fashion front, with many questioning whether or not outspoken Obama supporter Anna Wintour is keeping stylists and designers away, silently threatening their standing should they endeavor to promote their outfitting of the wife of a Republican presidential hopeful.
Over the past year, the Vogue matriarch – who many say has enough power to make or break fashion careers – has become one of President Obama’s leading financiers. Wintour has raised over half a million dollars for the incumbent, hosted numerous lavish dinners in his name and even enlisted designer pals like Marc Jacobs and Thakoon Panichgul to design pro-Obama products.

The only good thing the Moose would look good in would be a pine box.

Ann would look classier wearing a gunny sack the Moose ever has a day in her life.

Anna Wintour–feh!

I always did figure that the “fashion world” was a collection of well paid pimps who laugh all the way to the foreign banks but, as one without any interest in “fashion” and of questionable taste, I’m very surprised that any of them would take credit for the hideous shit the moose wears.

“… and several books have been published that are solely devoted to analyzing her style and taste.”
No books have attempted to analyze Moochelle’s “class” however…
And Anna, don’t be surprised if, after the election, Ann doesn’t tell you to go piss up a rope.

“…a saucer of milk” with 1/8th cup of finely crushed glass…PLEASE???
What the fuck is wrong with these ignorant people? Are they truly stupid enough to believe no-one on our side designs clothes and would gladly GIVE such a graceful lady anything she asked for? Unlike that 400lbs of ugly they keep try to package with shower curtains and canvas tents….HOLY SHIT they are some ignorant fucks!

And here I thought all those fancy schmancy fashion designers were dressing Moose like a clown for a laugh. Turns out they were giving her their best stuff?
Ann Romney doesn’t them- a beautiful, elegant person like Ann can make Goodwill leftovers look Haute Couture.

Agree 100% Dr. Tar! You can put lipstick(designer duds) on a pig, and it’s still a pig. Mrs. Romney is a classy lady who is proud of her Country and as first lady would be a wonderful breath of fresh air!

Ann has an inner style and she doesn’t need props to improve her looks. She is a real lady, you can tell by the way she carries herself.

Any fashionista who favors the fashion sense of Squatch over that of Anne Romney must be coming off a bad coke habit.

Or, it might be that Ann Romney doesn’t particularly think it’s tasteful or fashionable to wear garish, mismatching colors and boob belts.
…like the rest of us that don’t suck up to the Obysmals

Anna Wintour, hmmmm, she’s come a long way as a fashion editor, at Viva, a women’s adult magazine started by Kathy Keeton, then wife of Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione. Oh, and plus she’s a hag. Anna CERTAINLY ain’t the “main street” FOLKS O’Blowhard is attempting to garner votes from, now is she… Oh, we LOVES them kinda rich folk.
And Michelle, coming from the south side of Chicago, wouldn’t know couture if it attempted to bite a chunk out of that fabric demanding ass of hers.

The next few years will be a time of continued austerity in the USA, and hopefully with severe cost cutting measures in our federal government. It would be a HUGE symbolic act if Ann Romney and Janna Ryan chose to wear reasonable attire at most events – things that the average woman could afford.

Funny thing is I think that Ann Romney couldn’t care less what the fashion houses think. I’ll bet when the carpetbaggers currently occupying the Whitehouse are run out of town all their fashion ikon buddies (including Wintour) will ignore and pretend they never knew them. Then they’ll try to suck up to Mrs. Romney. Watch.

Ann Romney could wear a burlap sack and look regal. Moose looks like a sow trying to look human in anything she wears, regardless of who the “designer” is.
It isn’t necessarily what you wear, but “how” you wear it.

“Desperate to at least make her presentable, designers, stylists and fashion industry publicists routinely clamor for an opportunity to outfit First Lady Michelle Obama, determined to prove their fashion-fu can fix anything. And because those same designers are fishing for other marks to con.
Fixed it.

There are plenty of well-established designers in the business who would be delighted to dress the first lady of the United States despite what Anna Wintour may think. I understand Oscar de la Renta is a favorite of Ann Romney and I’m sure he would not hesitate to answer the call if she wanted him to. What’s Ann gonna do and do u think someone like him doesn’t have enough clout in the business?
Michelle Obama is “dressed” by a number of individuals who are trying to make a name in the business. The guy who did her toilet paper dress for the inauguration was well known in the transvite community before dressing her and while he can still find work in that community, his commerical success has been limited. Wonder why?
I don’t think the first lady should dress down, Ann apparently has very good taste, is elegant and very stylish, her husband is quite wealthy and the price of her clothes are none of my business. She represents America and I want her to look her best as she does. Moose on ther other hand, I know I’m paying for her wardrobe and am pissed that she looks as shitty as she does.
Ever notice the difference between Republican first ladies and Democrat first ladies? The former always impeccably and appropriately dressed and the latter, well…

In fashion, high or otherwise, the whole idea is for the dress to complement the wearer and be an extension of her style and personality. There are only two things that stand out about mo, her often inappropriately bare arms and humongous, clunky belts. She tried to pull off a latter day Jackie and really failed at it. And she’s dressing way too young for her age most of the time. Whatever message she was trying to send with her incredibly expensive couture it fell flat for me. I think Mrs. Romney probably has an innate sense of the appropriate. She’s a pretty modest woman.

I hope the hideous, cow-faced Wintour will renounce her American citizenship when Pookie looses the White House and move to Great Britian. She will be then tossed out of that country for trying to imitate a British accent. Maybe Afghanistan will take her and she can then write about women’s rights and the plethora of clothes available to Afghani women.

What makes Moose so unattractive is that she’s pissed off at the world because she was born black. Period, end of story.

All this time I thought Moochelle pick out her clothes by running blindfolded through The Goodwill Store. Barry has conveniently avoided answering whether it was her idea or his.

I don’t know if you guys saw this…it’s a photo of the Romneys at the Alfred Smith dinner the other night.
You can decide for yourselves if Ann Romney needs that witch (Devil Wears Prada) Wintour. HA!
BTW, I read that the dress she wore was ten years old.
Moose couldn’t even FIT into something from ten years ago.

I have to disagree, though…you said they look like money.
I think they look like “class”. And you can’t buy it.

In their efforts to get Michelle Obama past dressing like a tacky slob, they’ve become so used to putting pearls before a pig that they no longer have the game to rise to Ann Romney’s level of elegance.

Bad Brad, I agree with you and have said more than once Moosh 0 is pissed off because she’s black. And to top if off she’s ugly to boot. She reminds me of a contestant in a cheap drag queen contest. Now for this bitch Anna W., Ann Romney can buy and sell her. She won’t be taking her q from that hag.
She is a classy woman that has dignity….something we have not seen in the WH in the last four years. I pray that these two grifters and their cling ons will be gone soon. The WH will need some major fumigating. VOTE….then VOTE some more!!!
