Its really no use comparing them to the crowd in '39. Back then, you're average homeless person dressed a little better than most people do today.<BR/><BR/>Mom on the Run,<BR/><BR/>Those boots floored me. Sure, she's in great shape for a woman her age, but the boots, short skirt, bright red coat combo was a bit, shal we say, un-inaugural. Kind of surprising, since Joe is pretty much a well dressed and dignified gut as politicians go.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-39094638498953975672009-01-21T06:51:00.000-08:002009-01-21T06:51:00.000-08:00And Lisagh is 'da bomb!

I always call those hats "Kenny the Milkman hats" because well, Kenny our milkman was the only person I ever knew who wore one!<BR/><BR/>I thought Michelle Obama's dress was very pretty--that coat dress combo has been appealing to me lately. And the purple/yellow contrasting colors....very nice. The coats always add such a buttoned up look to these events that make them seem timeless.<BR/><BR/>Hate the go-go boots. Seriously. Ick. But then again, I can never be accused of being fashionable.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575824415627306078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-60567744435876348932009-01-21T06:41:00.000-08:002009-01-21T06:41:00.000-08:00Please look at the dress of the crowd during the R...Please look at the dress of the crowd during the Roosevelt inauguration in 1939:<BR/><BR/>http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=c0aa08ca0233f221&q=roosevelt%20inauguration%20source:life&prev=/images%3Fq%3Droosevelt%2Binauguration%2Bsource:life%26start%3D40%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-57805047272212791832009-01-21T06:34:00.000-08:002009-01-21T06:34:00.000-08:00The stark contrast between the patrician dress of ...The stark contrast between the patrician dress of the ruling class and the plebeian crowds who dressed for a trip to the mall or Disneyland rather than for an inauguration was saddenining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-85707243184649549672009-01-21T05:43:00.000-08:002009-01-21T05:43:00.000-08:00When I saw Bush Sr.'s hat I was thrilled to bits! ...When I saw Bush Sr.'s hat I was thrilled to bits!
