'You can't actually look like someone just by wearing the same clothes' is advice that should be given more often.

99.9 percent of the population will not look like the late great Bessette even if they wear her wardrobe down to the underwear.

I know, I tried it back in the nineties (not the underwear part, but I spent a fortune on Calvin Klein, and it did not transform my 5'4" Polish body into 6' feet of elegant slink).

The entire profession of fashion modelling exists because of the human brain's inability to make that connection. One sees the photos and imagines one will look like the person in them, and one will not.

Do not, do NOT make me want to dress like Dan Rather. Because now I want to, and I am not sure anyone in my life or my suburban enclave would understand it one bit.

The handbag pairings are utter genius here, although I personally think Larry King would go for a crossbody.

However, I also feel a pull toward "solid iron cunt". What to do? What to do?

Came here to say the same thing, I would do so unironically

Do you live anywhere near the rustbelt? If you do, we can do it together. Start a trend.

Gerald Rivera's look never went away, many dads are saying.

Geraldo Rivera lives about a mile from me here in the inner-ring Cleveland suburbs. If I'm in the right place at the right time, I could theoretically dress like Geraldo Rivera WHILE STANDING NEXT TO GERALDO RIVERA.

I’m totally on board with this “normies taking fashion back from the beautiful people” thing.

I love every single one of these outfits. This may be proof that Canva collages can sell me anything.

What an incredible post to wake up to this morning. Cracked up the whole way through. Somehow the Larry King outfit looks very cute??

Personally I'm partial to Dan Rather!

If I buy into Josh Barro’s thesis that all the Kennedy men suck (https://www.joshbarro.com/p/the-kennedys-were-always-bad), then will I still enjoy the Netflix series?
