Diane, stick to designer gowns like these!
(suitable for the 1st Lady)
When times are tough, the tough get going!
Especially in political circles when it comes to fundraising.
Nancy Pelosi is no slouch in that department.
In fact, Pelsoi - the Democrats' version of the folksy backwoods Queen (Sarah Palin) - has just reached out to fashion icon Diane Von Furstenberg to create a fashion accessory to kick off the political-social whirl with style.
"With everything Speaker Pelosi has done to move our country forward, I was more than happy to oblige," gushed Furstenbeg after unveiling a limited edition tote bag to be sold online to Democrats heading out on the campaign trail.
I interviewed Diane's husband - Prince Egon Von Furstenberg - years ago at the annual Men's Fashion Awards in Los Angeles.
Classy man!
Every dollar toward its purchase price will be used to support Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats "who are under increased attack by those who wish to take our country back to the policies of former President George W. Bush," the press release summed up.
The scuttlebutt has been negative in some chi-chi climbs around the political circuit.
"It's ugly," one fashion icon qupped in disgust.
"It's not even a great get," lamented an Internet surfer who wrinkled up their nose at the mere thought of lugging one around.
At a time when there is a cry all over the land about a lack of jobs and an ailing economy, critics are inclined to write the promotion off with disdain.
Jenny Crider, a spokesperson for the DCCC, remains optimistic.
"Diane von Furstenberg graciously designed a fun and functional canvas tote bag to celebrate Speaker Pelosi and women Members and candidates. The DCCC store has been inundated with requests for it."
The accessory sells for $65.00.
"If the tote bag's not your thing - we have plenty of pens, key chains, mugs or t-shirts - all made in America."
At long last, manufacturers are returng to America to stamp out product for the good old U of SA.
Will that be cash or I.O.U.?
