I thought it looked like a very good PS but when I tried to find it last night, when I first saw it on Faceschnook, I didn't have any luck.

The thing that made me think it might be a PS is that although the styles on the package (including the one in the middle) look very much like the stuff from the early to mid 70s when I first started learning to sew with a pattern, the colors of the middle one weren't quite right. I'd love to see the original pattern package and preferably with the Simplicity pattern number for further verification.

It put me in mind of some red, white and blue shoes I begged my mom for (about 1971 when I was about 7). By the end of the day I HATED them! I was consoled only by my Easter stuffed rabbit with psychedelic pants! There is a photo of me in these shoes and it always reminds me of making bad choices!!!!

If you hit a good sale at Joann Fabric you can still get patterns for around a dollar. I doubt we'll ever be able to say similar about gasoline again.

So it probably wasn't there when I went info hunting yesterday or again early today. Snopes is normally a decent source and has long been one of my 'go to' places to check.

I guess the outfit was a clear statement that she wasn't really interested in how she looked that day so to be fair - what does it matter.

But hose are evil and I don't blame anyone if they don't want to wear them. Seriously, they're probably the most uncomfortable garmet in existence.

WHY would you want to go outside, barelegged, in the first place?

And there's therapeutic stockings and then just plain ol' tights or leggings or SOMETHING - that is purely cosmetic but conceals or minimizes the problem. Hell, she does that for a living (or tries to) having to bend reality to cover for trump. One would assume she'd obfuscate on looks, too.

I've noticed that sometimes she appears on camera looking just absolutely wretched - no makeup, the techniques for deemphasizing flaws - makes me think perhaps she got a phone call or something: "Get your ASS out there NOW!!! You gotta fix this!" or some such. ("But I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet, I'm just waking up..." "GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE NOW!!!"

Heck, I've had a few times where I got a call at home at an inopportune time, had to throw something/anything on and grab the car keys and GO, NOW. Like the "alternative facts" moment with Chuck Todd for example. No makeup (particularly, under-eye concealer or foundation and/or face powder because you could not avoid noticing the bags under her eyes - maybe she doesn't get much sleep), stringy hair (not much time to allow for grabbing a hairbrush). She looked like hell. Evidently got dispatched to do trouble-shooting either by trump or Bannon maybe. She's supposedly also managing a family and her husband is working, as I recall he's now under consideration for a big job in the White House, too, if he hasn't already been tapped for it.

I noticed that yesterday, she was on camera with a pale blue dress, a statement necklace of pearls, hair well-behaved and brushed and smoothed, makeup on, AND, as actresses have told me - properly lit. Which means they had a few extra moments and a proper studio so that they could light her in a flattering way. She looked like she was on her way to the wedding party. I tried to book an interview with an actress on a little public access show I had, years ago, and her first question was - how's the lighting? Because if you're not LIT well, carefully, strategically, you can look like death warmed over.

Seems awfully superficial. Certainly. But when you're on camera and you KNOW your looks matter, you're forced to take that into account. You want what you SAY to be what people talk about, NOT how much older or scrawnier or hag-like you looked on camera. In her case that time, though, the "alternative facts" statement was SO outrageous that it eclipsed everything else. Nitpickers like me notice all that stuff, but the "alternative facts" misadventure just sucked every molecule of oxygen outta the room. As it should have, frankly.

But it reinforces my impression that Ms. Conway was wearing an outfit that a woman of her (ahem) station in life really ought not to be wearing. In fact, anyone past middle school probably shouldn't wear something like that.

As long as I'm slagging on someone's looks, is there something wrong with Conway's face? The two sides don't seem to match up very well in most of the photos I see of her.

I know the drop waist belt was 1970 style, but it really looks better with the button top than the belt at the waist. In addition having the white go all the way to the bottom looks nicer.

I guess this means that either I am stuck in the 1970s fashionwise or that Gucci designed a very unattractive dress for the little Trump toy soldier.
