Look good and think good?

So in today's Style section of the New York Times, Speaker Pelosi (my rep. from San Francisco, now the apex of power, can’t help but always mention it) is making waves not just for her first 100 hours but for her first 100 outfits. Not that it’s hard to stand out in the pol crowd, when most are wearing boring, boring, boring suits. Remember that scene in Legally Blonde 2 when Reese Witherspoon is heading up the Capitol Hill steps dressed head to toe in Pepto-Bismol pink against a sea of dark suits? You don’t? Well, it’s like that. That’s Nancy. Except in purple velvet. Wine wool. Rich tweed. She looks sharp. And she thinks sharp.Unlike Legally Blonde 2, where a cute blonde is like a secret weapon with a Harvard Law degree, nobody is fooled into thinking that Nancy Pelosi worries about her accessories and not her policies. This woman of style is also a woman of substance.
