Two good things about Fall: 1) fashionable clothes that don’t require the revealing of copious amounts of skin and 2) only a few more weeks left in this election cycle.
Thankfully, I have the first one sewn up, easily, since Fall fashions favor big girls, like me. But, this continuing election cycle is getting on my [...]

Political bloggers are heading to Denver on the eve of the Convention. The NY Times has a piece in Fashion & Style that surely belongs in the political section of the Times: “The Year of the Political Blogger Has Arrived.”
