Skirting the Issue

There is on the Internet a particularly deviant and devious genre of images called Upskirts. These images, photos taken looking up a woman’s skirt, fall into three categories: those that are clearly posed with the knowledge of the woman, those that are taken deliberately but illicitly without the knowledge of the woman, and those that are a “mistake” such as a shot taken as a skirt-clad woman (usually a celebrity) extricates herself from a car or is on a low seat. In this last category there is a photo of Hilary Clinton taken I think during a TV interview. It is not a particularly pretty picture. And that may well be the reason Mrs Clinton has taken to wearing those dreadful pants suits. Conversely it could be that she is simply demonstrating metaphorically who wears the trousers in the Clinton family. Then again she might simply be trying to replicate the political success of our own Helen Clark who also has a propensity for pants suits. Helen of course also looks dreadful in them, but she at least looks better in them than anything else, short of aluminium. Whatever the reason for Senator Clinton’s pants suit pilgrimage, somebody should tell her that that mode of dress was mercifully put to sleep in the 80s along with “power-dressing”, waterbeds and American artistic integrity. If she persists I despair of her becoming President. Helen AND Hilary? My god! The only thing that may save us is Hilary’s husband Bill. Bill, the next time Hilary asks, as all wives do, “Do I look fat in this?” For God’s sake lie and say “Yes!” You can lie, can’t you? Have a good weekend. Maggie’s home Saturday.
