Washington D.C. Power Women Are Influencing The Runways

d9be6ce3f3241104290f6a706700241c

If you are a woman who works in Washington, you might see a doppleganger of yourself at certain New York Fashion Week shows this week — well, a much taller and skinnier version of yourself. According to MSNBC, designers this year are taking major inspiration from the style of Washington D.C. power women.

By now we all know that Ann Romney “Loves you womennnnnn!” but women—at least those who don’t receive equal pay for equal work, use birth control, are gay or want safe, legal access to abortions—seem to kind of like President Barack Obama.


Pelosi Says Spirit Of Susan B. Anthony Talked To Her About Progress Of Women In Politics

Pelosi

Politicians are very seriously people, but that doesn’t mean they deny the existence of the supernatural. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said recently that the spirits of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and several more historical women once came to her at the White House to celebrate a woman being a big player in politics.

Speaking at a Women’s Political Committee event, she said the women told her, “At last we have a seat at the table,” seemingly referring to Pelosi’s involvement in Democratic House leadership. All of this took place while Pelosi was meeting with George W. Bush, but she wasn’t concentrating on W., as the spirits all toppled onto her seat.

Apparently millionaires are middle class now, according to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Which I guess means that those of us who were previously hanging on for dear life to the bottom rungs of the middle class can just give up and start referring to ourselves as paupers.

Celebrity Doppelgangers Of Powerful Women In Politics

Gillibrand

Don’t lie: You’ve thought about which famous figures look like you. If you’re anything like me, you’ve made a point to repeat far too generous comparisons (i.e., Blake Lively!) to feel better on bad hair days and haggard moments.

I’m sure you also enjoyed the fairly recent “celebrity doppelganger” profile picture trend, which involved users posting photographs of stars they’ve been told they resemble. If politicians could run personal Facebook accounts, they’d probably get a kick out of the exercise as well, but because they’re too high profile and busy to upload snapshots of their celebrity doppelgangers, we’re going to do it for them. Here are some female stars who share similar physical attributes to political women in power.

Everyone knows you have to be aggressive to run for office, but according to House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, you have to take it up a notch and “kick open the door.”
