Anchorwomen Badly Clad

An ABC Talking Head Wearing Too Much Jewellery and a Low-Cut, Sleeveless Evening Dress in the Morning–in Mid-October

This is the same woman who wore a white, sleeveless dress on Good Morning, America after Labor Day. (So did Elizabeth Vargas, who bobbed-up for a special report on the Amanda Knox release in late September.) The GMA anchorwoman, who appears five days a week with George Stephanopoulos (his sartorial style is as good as can be expected, incidentally), has no regard for the seasons, and is stuck like glue to arm-fattening cap-sleeves and hopelessly devoted to sleeveless dresses. It's as though she is constantly trying to show off how "toned" her arms are. Why not just wear a muscle-shirt? And dangling earrings in the morning just don't fly. Some men and women seem to be exempt from receiving style advice on the television production set. Perhaps broadcast standards have just disappeared, which occurs to me when I hear these talking heads mispronouncing simple English words on a regular basis.

And now, from the great American South-West:

It Is Not Advisable to Wear Arm-Fattening Cap-Sleeves, Clunky Necklaces and Too Much Lip-Gloss on Television

How Many Colours are Enough?

It’s time to stop the false compliments, and applying the term, “fashion maven” to the wrong people. Flattery is one thing, but those who draw analogies between this first lady and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy are outright loons. They put the “sick” in sycophancy!

>Cap-sleeves make everyone’s upper-arms look chunky. They do not emphasize musculature; rather, cap-sleeves make one’s muscles look like unappealing lumps. Attractive sleeve-lengths are 3/4 and to the wrist. Short sleeves are not elegant–when was the last time you saw someone look chic in a bowling shirt? If you must expose your arms, sleeveless styles are more elegant than cap-sleeves and short sleeves.
