This location is cursed. Buyer beware... Unless you actually make good food.
The Fashion Police have really stepped up their presence around the White House.

Hold still a second while I zip up the back.
Hahaha!
I understand you’re embarrassed ma’am, but I’m a professional and it would be a lot easier for me to finish stitching up your dress if you’d move your hands. And ma’am, you might consider carrying your own sewing kit in case this happens again and I’m not around.
Public role-playing has gotten out of hand.
Somewhere Chris deBurgh is crying – or posting bail
so plus one. way plus one. probably not the winner, but so plus one.
In the UK, the police actually have to justify handcuffing an arrestee (i.e. the prisoner has to be a “known risk”) — it’s not the automatic domination/humiliation ritual that it is here.
Oh, sorry, was this a humor thread? I guess my first reaction to this police-state iconology wasn’t laughter.
boohoo
yeah, well you don’t have a written constitution. (sticks tongue out)
You don’t go to the match, do you?
Good point. Although hancuffing everyone who gets arrested is a long-standing American tradition, it’s a pretty pathetic commentary on how far we’ve fallen into a police state mentality since 9/11/2001.
I find this photo disturbing for that reason. She’s obviously not resisting arrest, and look at how close his hands have to be to her butt. It’s degrading and probably not neccessary.
Breathe in. Ma’am, take a deep breathe. We can fix this in the back so you don’t lose any buttons in the front. You need to….BREATHE IN. Otherwise those buttons become a national security problem.
Sorry Ma’am … only protestors with buttons that total to prime numbers are allowed.
Dear Dan,
My family doesn’t like that I’m in my current relationship, but I like older women, she’s GGG (with that Michelle Pfeiffer red dress thing going on), and we even attended a rally for Rick Santorum outside the White House recently. I’m in law enforcement, so my schedule doesn’t allow us to spend much time together, so we’ve found ways to squeeze in dates whenever (and wherever) we can. This probably isn’t a longterm relationship, but it’s great for now. Should I risk my family’s approval for something that might not last?
Confused on Pennsylvania
Wait, serious question… was this from the Keystone XL protests a few weeks back? Almost 1300 people got arrested outside the White House in just two weeks… a lot of them looking a much like her. If the photographer is around, I’d like to know, for curiosity’s sake. And if she is, I don’t really think she should be made fun of. In any case, great pic. Thanks.
According to the photographer’s tagline, yes this was from the Keystone XL protests. Click on the link in the original post.
Daryl Hannah really let herself go…
This is what happens when you wear red after Labor Day.

WINNER!
In an email dated yesterday:
“Hello my love. I am looking forward to finally meeting you in person. I’ll be standing in front of the White House, wearing a long red dress with a white rose…”
But Biden told me to meet him here with a rose on
I’ve been vintage protesting for years. It’s so much more sustainable.
“Pssst, here take this. Just play it cool and we can get in with the Salahis.”

TSA pre-flight security has gotten out of hand – they are now searching people before they get to the airport.
Ma’am, the rhyme clearly states that Miss Mary Mack should wear black and have silver buttons all down her back….
Priscilla finally had to admit to herself that the GPS was wrong – it really was the White House, not DAR Constitution Hall.
Cop to lady: Who makes a dress with eighteen buttons?!?
What. The. Frock.

seems i need to go back to elementary school too.
Up against the wall, Mrs. Flower!
Homeland Security finally admits they’ve taken their color-coded alert system too far.
and with one arrest all street gang related crime in dc was effectively eliminated.
Not even the Magic School Bus could park illegaly outside the White House without repercussions.
My daughter always warned me that I would be arrested by the fashion police.

Policeman: “Nice try Mr. Salahi, the Secret Service recognized you even under all the make up”.
Ma’am, you really need to get your nails done. What you’ve done to your cuticles is a crime!
I don’t know how many times we have warned you, no painting the roses red!
Yippy skippy, its pizza day at the jailhouse today!!!!
