What's the difference between a city girl and a country girl?

A city girl wears a pony tail and the country girl knows what's under it!

Obama Busted by Police...

...the Fashion Police, that is! Welcome to the first, and perhaps the only edition of Mr. Fashion Policeman! I say that, because as a fashionista, I am not one. If you look in the dictionary under "styling", my picture will not be there. In fact, my sense of style is so gawdawful, that for me to even notice an infraction committed by anyone else, it must be terribly egregious.

Which brings us to Barack Obama's "bomber jacket".


Now I have owned a few bomber jackets, wore a bomber style jacket while on a brief stint with a security firm, and a couple of things are characteristic of bomber jackets: they typically have knit cuffs and a knit waistband. Anyone care to venture a guess at where Mr. Obama's waist is in that picture? Try as I might, I couldn't find a single definition of bomber jacket that mentioned a "crotch band"!

Consider some past presidents and their bomber jackets...




Note that the waistband of the jacket ends right about the top of his pants pocket, in an area we typically call "the waist". Now Bush 41 and 43 were both pilots, and not unfamiliar with the concept (of bomber jackets), but even Bill Clinton, who famously said that he "loathed the military" at least knew how to wear the costume!

Now I won't bore you with the rest...I could post numerous pictures of celebrities in bomber jackets, pictures in commercial ads for bomber jackets and even pictures of Obama hiking up his jacket to get his hand in his pocket, but don't you think the most powerful man in the world could come in off the golf course* long enough to have a jacket properly fitted? This one looks like something Michelle picked off the rack at Target. The clearance rack.

You probably thought I was going to bust on the president for wearing a military style jacket when the only times he gets close to the military is for a photo op or to slice their budget. Not at all! The Presidential bomber jacket is a tradition that goes back at least as far as JFK. Over the left breast is embroidered "Commander in Chief" and the president's name. (For Joe Biden they made one with this stitched upside down, so he could glance down and remember his name as needed!)

As C-in-C, Obama has every right to wear the jacket. As a Posse comitatus member of the fashion police, it is my right to tell him: he's doing it wrong.




* #180 this weekend. 23 this year alone, at 27 weeks.


Update: I didn't notice this at first, but JFK, Bush 41, 43 and Clinton all had fur collars on their flight jackets. PETA whipped, anyone??

Update II: This is a little closer to what it should look like (although, I'd take it in at the shoulders as well)

The Thong: R.I.P.

I know that most of you come to Proof Positive for the fast breaking, exposé of the latest foibles and fumblings of the politicians of the day. Well, as far as exposure goes, this next story gets to the bottom of a new fashion trend. According to that Bible of most you political junkies, Cosmopolitan:

A little more than 10 years ago, the Macarena was a hit, the Rachel haircut was in, and wearing a thin strip of fabric between your butt cheeks was considered daringly sexy. Thankfully, the dance is now socially unacceptable, and those layers have grown out. But what about the thong? Although our love for it has endured, its popularity appears to be fading, and recent figures show another style is taking over.

Butt floss is on it's way out??? Say it ain't so! Heh.

No doubt, male fans appreciate the fact that boy shorts make our asses look so amazing. Let's face it, unless you're blessed with Gisele–like DNA, it's likely that a string bisecting your backside wasn't doing your figure any favors. Most boy shorts have a seam running down the middle of the butt, which accentuates the curvature of the bum for any body, giving the illusion of a Kardashian–style keister, says Campello. And even seamless boy shorts enhance your bootyliciousness by exposing the very bottoms of your cheeks. "For a man, seeing that part of the buttocks is a great turn-on," says Daniel G. Amen, MD, author of Sex on the Brain. "His mind wants to fill in the rest of the picture."

The final thing the boy short has going on that the thong doesn't? It doesn't give you a permanent wedgie — it's actually comfortable.

The story goes on to say how lasers give the NVPL and where the seams go and how they're made, but most guys I know? Their attention span gave out after the picture! So, if you need to know more, go ahead and click the link. I'll be looking for my attention span...

Cocaine Cut With Possum Deworming Meds

I kid you not!

Cocaine's a hell of a drug, and even more so when laced with another drug that's commonly used to deworm opossums.

Now, those are words I've never heard strung together before!

Federal agents have found that 69 percent of cocaine shipments seized entering the United States contain levamisole, a veterinary drug linked to serious weakening of the immune system in humans.

Now, I wasn't tempted to take illegal drugs anytime soon, but how messed up or desperate do you have to be to ingest anything when you haven't a clue what it will do to you? And what of the possible consequences? What about a possible possum wear shortage if there's not enough drugs to deworm the little fellows?



Inquiring minds want to know!

Yellow Will Be Big in 2009

AP -NEW YORK – Enough gloom and doom: There’s a prediction from a leading color source that cheerful and sunny yellow will be the influential color of 2009. Pantone, which provides color standards to design industries, specifically cites “mimosa,” a vibrant shade of yellow illustrated by the flowers of some mimosa trees as well as the brunch-favorite cocktail, as its top shade of the new year. In general, Pantone expects the public to embrace many tones of optimistic yellow.

Heh. Someone must have informed the fashionistas of the foreign policy of the upcoming administration! In real estate, it's:

"Location, location, location!"

In politics, it's:

"Connotation, connotation, connotation!"
