Red, White and what in the world was that??

If you are into politics then most likely you were tuned into the Republican National Convention this past week.  Obviously this has been quite the mix of drama and insanity this year in politics.  Emails, Walls, protests, etc. The RNC definitely had its nail biting moments.  Several states wanted to roll call vote, accusations of plagiarism with a certain speech, a former candidate declining to endorse the nominee but what really bothered me was the horrible FLAIR some of the crowd wears to these things! 
 

Oh, before you laugh at the crazy right wingers, left wing liberals are just as guilty at committing such atrocious fashion crimes.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for being silly and dressing up in costume, but that day is normally called Halloween.  Some of these people's style sense is out there!  You are representing a state and it’s certainly hard for me to take you seriously or your candidate seriously when you are wearing a giant elephant or donkey on the top of your head!  Sometimes its entire group of delegates that are dressed head to toe in their gear.  Don’t mess with Texas, they don’t play…their ensemble of matching shirts and cowboy hats are no joke! (I love you Texas Family!) Don’t forget the slogan hats “Make America Great Again” not only available in red but fancy neon glow in the dark colors as well! Tons of buttons, flag hats, dressing up like former presidents, MAKE IT STOP!!!

Being the fashion connoisseur, (yeah right) I have certain suggestions for what one’s attire should be at such an event: 

This....

Not this….

OK, I’ll be honest now, this year wasn’t nearly as bad as it has been at past conventions, but should stop nonetheless.  Of course, who am I to tell these people how to enjoy their time at something that may be just as comparable to them as some die hard comic con fan or someone attending a concert or Star Trek convention?  One thing is for sure, all silliness aside, these people were serious about their love for the country.  I wish more people on both sides, took the time to be so involved in wanting what is best for our great nation.  Regardless of party, regardless of how some people may view elections, it’s such a powerful thing to be able to vote.  To be able to use that right is something not to take for granted.

Come November 8, 2016…this should be the most important piece of flair that we all wear:

 One convention down, one to go....Hold on to your hats ladies and gents, the next few months may be quite interesting! 

Have a great weekend!  - M -
