"We've got a lot of work to do in terms of bringing the party together . . . The sooner that we can bring the party together, the sooner we can start focusing on John McCain in November,"

1. What is that color--fuschia?

Whatever it is, she looks DAMN good in it! :loveya:

[slinkerwink]

4. now that's one hot couple!

[bicentennial_baby]

5. More like amethyst

:)

[Bluebear]

6. more like aubergine - - - but STUNNING no matter what it is!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. I agree and was struck by it in the other thread

I always thought Hillary look good in the sky blue dress
and terrible in yellow.

[roguevalley]

31. youth, idealism and intellect in the white house. FINALLY! Been a

long time coming, baby, a long time coming!

8. She looks great. I love the cut of the dress, I would have liked it

a tad more if they had "matched". Since Presidential Candidates tend to gravitate toward red or blue (in their tie choices), perhaps a black, red or blue (maybe even periwinkle) dress would have been a better match to him.

That said, it is an AWESOME dress and she looks fantastic.

16. Won't it be nice to not have a first lady wearing the drapes?

[LibraLiz1973]

17. Yeah... Laura's fashions are baaaaaaad

Even in "lighter" moments she is SO stiff

[goclark]

27. I spilled my orange juice on that one

[Yael]

14. It looks like a grapy-amethyst jewel tone

And it is PHENOMENAL on her.

[Gore1FL]

22. umm Purple?

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

23. Magenta. My guess.

[Orsino]

30. That color's called "win."

Please adjust your monitors' RGB settings accordingly. For any still using the automatically-selected Bush theme, this new shade will appear uncomfortably bright. The new setting will take effect when you next restart.

34. Yes, "fuchsia" or "deep fuchsia" (w/variant spelling common)

Fuchsia according to Crayola: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors

Web color deep fuchsia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(color)#Deep_Fuchsia

Fuchsia is a genus of plant whose flowers are most commonly bright pink to purple. Named after the botanist Leonhart Fuchs, it has been called "the most carefully spelled flower in the world". And yes, Fuchs is pronounced like "Fewks", so it's "fewksia" not "fewsha".

2. That is one

smart-lookin' first-lady-to-be . . .

[TwilightGardener]

3. Thanks, Bigtree! That color on Michelle is smokin'.

[Melancholic Toaster]

9. I would agree but....

It's such a vibrant color that it kind of makes his suit look dull and boring. Maybe if he had a brighter tie :D

[LibraLiz1973]

11. That is basically what I was trying to say up-thread

Her dress is so great that his suit just sort of hangs there.

Ah well... his wife is lovely, I am sure he is used to it.

[FrenchieCat]

12. He's got the Blue tie, and she's got the purple swing states......

I think they are looking excellent.

[TwilightGardener]

19. Actually, I think they coordinated the dress and tie pretty carefully--note that

they are in the same cool blue-purple color family. A red or green tie would have clashed, stripes would have been too much, pale blue or silver would have looked too washed out. His only other option would have been a navy tie, I suppose. I am devoting way too much thought on this, I realize.

[FrenchieCat]

10. Looking good!

[Imagevision]

13. I look at these two and think that Hillary just doesn't fit in...

[KingFlorez]

15. They look nice

[MiniMe]

18. What a change from the draperies we are getting now!

but my Mom loves nice clothes and she is already looking forward to seeing what gown Michelle wears to the Inaugural Ball!
