Hillary's bangs will never die

And neither will stupid speculations on "style"

Imagine, if you will, waking up and not seeing a headline like the one above, which appeared in yesterday’s New York Time, a newspaper I generally love. “Generally,” because sometimes, the Times lets slip its “what are we going to do about the help?” 1930s to-the-manor-born mentality and then I must lose interest.

That mentality allows otherwise talented reporters to belch out a “100 Days of Vice-Presidential Style” waste of space, because forget what Vice President Harris is going to do at the border. Let’s talk shoes!

I am old enough to remember the furor that erupted every time then-First Lady Hillary Clinton changed her hairstyle or even so much as added a headband (which was all the rage at the time0. Forget that she was a high-powered lawyer and skilled policy-maker, and focus, instead, on her coat, which tells little girls and boys everywhere that that’s the greatest role a public woman can serve, as a clothes hanger with hair.

Today, we have the Interwebs on top of ignorant mainstream press speculation, including superfluous websites such as What Kamala Wore, as if that mattered, as if that’s a serious discussion. Forget that the Times story was loaded with wink-wink apologies for focusing on fashion but gosh, we have to talk about Harris’ clothes because “everyone wants to know.”

That’s a lie. I’m part of that everyone, and I couldn’t give a rat’s patootie what the likes of Harris or Jill Biden or even Lauren Boebert is wearing, unless in the latter’s case it’s a gun and then I shall quickly head in the other way because from the look on her face during Pres. Biden’s Wednesday’s speech to the joint session of Congress tells me that girl is going to blow at any minute.

That might have been the longest sentence I’d ever written. Congratulations to me.

I yearn for the day when someone asks, “Who are you wearing,” and the answer is a flat, “My own clothes.” I live for the day when no one asks in the first place. Ladies? You are not your clothes, your hair or your “style.”
