Accessory Generation blog
This post is the first of a new feature on my blog called “The Politics Of Fashion” where I plan to take a closer look at the accessories politicians, public servants and heads of state are wearing. It’s my opinion that except for a few political wives (Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Cindy McCain, Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, Princess Diana, Carla Bruni, Queen Rania, etc) not enough people in politics dress the part. Even most female candidates don’t seem to make presentation a priority. Without any political statement or political preference intended by this blogger, here’s to dressing the part and looking good, while hopefully doing good.
While some politicians use social media to take pictures of their “junk” and send them out to their female constituents, others know exactly what women really want to see: shoes! I recently met Bob Stump, Chair of the Arizona Corporation Commission, and learned that he was voted “Best Shoes” by the Arizona Capitol Times in 2011. What a fabulous contest! A perusal of his Facebook page and his Twitter account revealed that even two years later his constituents are still talking about his shoes, and there’s a hilarious video that Stump graciously participated in making.
