Good versus evil, Day 5

As the Summit came to a close and the Bushes headed out of Germany and into Poland, Laura had a bad day - at least fashionwise.

The first look, as she was boarding Air Force One, had some much potential when I first saw the blazer. Then, of course, I saw a couple full-body shots and was appalled. The pants clearly didn't fit her (see example A) and the shoes (example b, inset) were completely inappropriate for anything but a summer beach party. Oh Laura...

Look two, after she got into Poland and was posing for cameras, was the photo equivalent to good versus evil. Laura, in her black pantsuit and flats!, looked like the polar opposite of Polish first wife Maria Kaczynski, in her uber-chic, off-white suit with amazing detailing and a terrific pair of beige pumps. The only thing the two seem to have in common is the same taste in dogs! The Russian presidential pooch, Titus, sure looks a lot like both Barney and Miss Beazley, who are all very good examples of classic, regal pets.
