I do appreciate the fact that a female politician is breaking the norm of ugly "power suits." It's a very big fashion statement.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
tommyrot, Robin Gihvan is the Washington Post's style reporter. She's also the same one who wrote the article about the Veep and his poor choice of outerwear at Auschwitz.
Regardless of what I think of Secretary Rice, she looked good. The article doesn't strike me as unusual.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, all I can say is, boxy suits are the best thing that ever happened to Madeleine Albright; if she's tried to pull off the Matrix-wear, tragedy might have ensued. Also, by all accounts, she did not need to intimidate with her clothes; she could skewer a guy just by looking.
I do think it's pretty weird how much attention Rice's clothes get, though. Like, I know she's a woman and therefore everybody has to bring up the fact she's a woman, but that's more detail than I could tell you about what I am wearing today myself, you know?

I note that oral-sex-with-condom is the preferred safe sex version, and it would not seem too outre -- if indeed a bit fussy -- if a lady doctor insisted on Very Safe Fellatio. Note that the aftermath of such a thing is usually the disposal of the rubber in the nearest garbage receptacle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The only comparable female's fashion I can think of is Madeline Albright. Well, and Margaret Thatcher. Who are Condi's fashion contemporaries?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That, or out the car window.
What?

I dunno. She's in her middle 40s, and all I can think of are women a decade or more older, and Hollywood people, who don't count. I suppose part of it all is that Rice is slim, and likes to show off that part.
Which, you know what? I bet that the person who waxes the Secretary of State's legs has to have security clearance. Heh heh heh.

Didn't she just turn 50?
