perhaps it’s because they’re ugly?

or not presented in a terribly flattering manner. but wapo’s style section laments the lack of interest in the senate wives’ e-bay charity auction of 100 dresses for katrina victims.

i’ve looked through them. godawful things they are, for the most part. remind me never to become a senator’s wife, if frumpy clothes are a requirement. or a senator, for that matter — the clothes donated by them aren’t much better.

if someone held a gun to my head, i suppose i could bid on this 1950s number from nancy wyden.

update: the thumbnails of the dresses can all be seen together. gosh, but those hill wives sure wear a lot of talbots!
