She doesn't have great fashion sense IMO. But I will give her credit for being daring. Most first ladies keep it low-risk and dress very conservatively.

Could it have just been a historic moment and symbolic of her sorority

few still have a tendency to be catty and petty;and superstitious I might add
You've got to be kidding right??? Think "SORO" hint, hint
This is totally idiosyncratic, preposterous, ludicrous
and anyone else can add on the words to describe this observation

I really didn't want to put it in this manner, but at least I'm honest
"the mind is a terrible thing to waste"
Ummmm....are you okay?

Joe's got himself a hottie for a wife.
Very good looking older woman. Agreed.

I'm starting to wonder about a mental disorder w/certain people on here.... Now I ask you, do you know what a spider web looks like? Nod once for yes, twice for no & scramble around like a child if you have no idea.....I'm hearing some scrambling going on here.

And no, it really was not an attempt to criticize her. I just wondered about the dress and figured others had thought that it looked like a black widow dress too. It just seemed kind of out of place to me. And others DID think it looked like a black widow dress, because many people have commented on it. I wasn't talking about fashion or lack of fashion at all, just the black widow look of the dress. I personally didn't care for that peach colored dress that either Jill Biden or Cindy McCain (I don't remember which) was wearing, but this post wasn't about fashion.

If I wanted to criticize her it wouldn't be about her dress. I just wondered if others saw what I saw.
No they didn't. If you don't like the dress fine but this black widow talk is crazy, really it is! It is not forshadowing anything so you can relax now.

I just wish she'd picked a different dress.
It was not a flattering style for a woman who is wide across the hips. Also, it was not very sophisticated nor elegant as I would expect a First Lady to be. I guess she is appealing to the common masses with that one. Not the best choice, but whatever. There are more important things to think about.

I have to admit that when i saw the dress it didnt remind me of a black widow spider, but all the red looked like blood. Rodriguez is a well-known designer; im surprised this is what he chose for her. I'd want my money back!

Pretty soon, whether she likes it or not, the designers will be putting her in tailored suits for daytime functions and appearances. The style comparisons to Jackie Kennedy? A stretch...Jackie only wore FRENCH couture and the bills were so high that she supposedly hid them from Jack.

I just hope she can figure out how to make herself a bit more professional and polished before the inaguaration.

That dress was hideous....someone should consult her on how to dress in the future. She does have an image to uphold as (choke, choke) "First Lady". At least Cindy McCain had class and style.
