Barack Obama, he’s a pretty hot ticket, right? Looks pretty good in clothes? Doesn’t wear his suits all back on his shoulders so that there’s this awful two-inch gap between the back of his neck and his collar like George Bush always did? Wrong. Famous DC tailor George de Paris says that Obama wears cheap suits and looks like a goon. Monseiur de Paris will fix this, though, by making him a $3500 suit, like he makes for all the presidents. WHEEEEE. [Vanity Fair]

Barry: “The suit don’t make me look good. I make the suit look good.”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Don’t listen to him, Barry!
Hell, I always thought the $3500 suit was a rite of passage.
I say go for it Obama! Take that passage into rich-guy douchebaggery!
French arrogance. Still the best in the world.
Barry de Kenya does not need fashion advice from a ghey.
As if Barry wasn’t already swimming in pussy.
Make him something nice, that matches his keffiyeh.
George de Paris is a pretentious asshole who is just pissed that Barry didn’t kiss his wrinkled old butt. Barry wears Hickey Freeman, that you can buy at Nordstrom’s. http://www.hickeyfreeman.com/website/dept.asp?s_id=1&dept_id=4088&WT.svl=deptnav2
Is this the same tailor that installed a secret debating device in the back of George W. Bush’s suits? Fuck him.
Where’s Mr Blackwell when we need him most, to bitch-slap “George de Paris”?
Monsieur Paris suce le dick d’âne.
Will it have the square transmitter thingy between the shoulder blades?
No more trips to the Men’s Warehouse for Barry. I guarantee it!
[re=262854]Doglessliberal[/re]: Would that be the same Hickey Freeman that is requiring a bailout? Glad to see Hopey doing his part to save this Chicago icon.
elitism, feh
OK, de Paris, make him a suit and Obama can give his old one to your President Sarkozy. You’ll just need to take the leg up a little, maybe by a FOOT or so.
He would rather give away a pair of black socks than see someone wear a black suit with brown socks
It’s true. I once walked into his store with a black suit and brown socks and he was all: “Mon dieu! Sacre bleu! Eeez no good. Ç’est pas possible. Eeet cannot be. I am shocked, shocked to find ze gambling eez going on ‘ere! Oooh, la, la, ooh, la, la!”
Well, at least he’s not showing off his bare arms all the time…
Also, Msr. de Paris… Yves Saint-Laurent called. He wants his gay back.
[re=262864]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Rochester, NY company, actually.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hickey-Freeman
But I think they are in Ch. 11, yes, so a bailout would make sense.
Did he not get the message with the nixing of private jets and resort ‘team building’ parties with five-diamond hookers? Now is not the time for $400 haircuts nor $3500 suits.
Blingee is cheaper.
I thought it was Hart, Schaffner & Marx, in Chicago
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hart_Schaffner_%26_Marx
The guy is from Honolulu (Kenya), we’re lucky he doesn’t wear coconut hats and muumuus.
shaka bra Barry!
Uh-huh. Anyone with “de” in his name is either a fictional character, a la George Fortescu Maximillian “Max” de Winter from “Rebecca”, or teh ghey.
How about we just body paint a suit on him? BRB…
[re=262881]Uncle Glenny[/re]: I mean, Marx, right? Makes sense.
Oh, I see: Hickey-Freeman is one of their brands…
[re=262881]Uncle Glenny[/re]: I think we are both right. H-S-M bought H-F, which kept operating independently in Rochester (employing a lot of people) and still selling under H-F label.
[re=262886]President Beeblebrox[/re]: ha! another fag joke! i mean what else could you make fun of about this jackass? you rock!
NoNoNo, Barachk! Zees zoot you arh waihring…it ees, how you say?…a peess of sheet! Eet make you loook like a shjanitor! Tabernac c’est tsee! Deed I rheelee say zat?
“He was nice,” de Paris says of Blair. “He was in the White House … I was there fitting President Bush and he ordered a suit—the same as President Bush.”
Go figure that Blair wanted to be twinsies.
[re=262888]freakishlystrong[/re]: or, he could dress like Shaft and scare the crap out of Fox News watchers.

Barry look any hotter I don’t know what I do.
This is annoying, here, we have one of the best looking (the best) POTUS’s in the world, and some frog has to run down his suits? Shit.
[re=262905]Doglessliberal[/re]: They’re already scared shitless of him!
I like how he mentioned his “very young girlfriend”… who he probably met online and who he dresses up in lovely little dresses… after she comes home from geometry class.
[re=262886]President Beeblebrox[/re]: Or Rebecca De Mornay?
[re=262856]V572625694[/re]: Mr. Blackwell died last year. He’s currently in hell waiting for Joan Rivers to show up… she’s late.
[re=262914]freakishlystrong[/re]: true, but it would be so much fun to freak them out more….
[re=262918]Vanity Smurf[/re]: She won’t die because all her parts keep being replaced by younger parts and/or silicone. Her brain might go, but her body will stay intact and functioning.
How dare our middle-class President dress like a peasant! The shame!
I say Barry should wear nothing but Hawaiian shirts now. Sweaters in winter. Make the Repukes and the suitmaker guy have conniptions.
I make very nice Hawaiian shirts myself if I do say so.
[re=262922]Doglessliberal[/re]: I’m thinking “Huggy Bear”…
[re=262911]freakishlystrong[/re]: You’re right! Fuck the French!
The President would look wonderful wearing shorts.
this guy is clearly nuts, hopey couldn’t possibly look any hotter in a suit than he already does (plus $1500 for a suit isn’t exactly peanuts, especially in these hobo times). if anything, michelle is looking into getting him some fuglier suits to keep the sluts away.
[re=262963]sarcasticusername[/re]: speaking of which, the WaPo noted the White House was taking applications for interns…..
It’s a set-up. Barry accepts $3500 French suit; the next day FOX and fiends puke all day on “OBAMA wears $3500 elitist French suits ZOMG!1!!”
Michael: You know, GOB, you might want to start acting like the President. You’re beginning to alienate some of the employees.
Gob: Yeah, like the CEO has to worry about alienating the employees…Yeah, like I’m going to take a whiz through this $5,000 suit. C’mon!
C’mon!
[re=262963]sarcasticusername[/re]: Time to bring the zoot suite back into fashion.
[re=262911]freakishlystrong[/re]: Don’t you mean merde?
Je crois que George de Paris vastly overestimates l’importance de George de Paris.
Ha. I lived across the street from a maison de dry cleaning in NY called “Mike of Paris”. Related?
For someone who was, I am pretty sure, a character in a Monty Python sketch played by John Cleese, he sure has some strong opinions. I am looking forward to him going on to say that Barry’s father was a hamster and his mother smelt of elderberries.
[re=263141]Red Zeppelin[/re]: …and farting in our general direction?
As silly as this guy is, I’d love to see Barry in a suit that actually fits him. Because seriously, the suits he wears? Not made for a dude with the figure of an anime character – reed-thin and all legs.
[re=263145]bitchincamaro[/re]: Also.
[re=263150]AxmxZ[/re]: Oh no you di’n't!
[re=262991]An American in Toronto[/re]: win
Skyrockets in flight!
[re=263150]AxmxZ[/re]: His birthday suit. We want to see him in that.
Oh yes I did! Come on Barry, put on something that flatters your little waist!
Doesn’t this French fool know that Barry has to wear special suits specifically made so they won’t melt off of him from his hotness?
any suit but a lawsuit.
[re=262911]freakishlystrong[/re]: he is indeed one of the best-looking president of the united states’s in the world.
[re=262915]ProfessorJukes[/re]: Rebecca De Mornay played Lady DeWinter in “The Three Musketeers”
Traditional Islamic dress requires few alterations. Maybe a twee more padding on the right shoulder to accommodate the weight of a grenade launcher and an inside pocket for holding the Communist Manifesto. – Sen. John Cornyn
[re=262855]Come here a minute[/re]: If George’s “secret debating device” means a fifth of Wild Turkey, then yes.
[re=263150]AxmxZ[/re]: You’re right, with his physique he’d look much better in a frock-coat and stovepipe hat.
[re=263346]OzoneTom[/re]: With his physique, he could probably pull off a polyester disko suit…
After all zeez years of sucking up to ze prezidentz, finally one comes along who could sell a million of my overe priced suits with une little photo… and he tell me to pees off.
I am George de Tool, and I haz le sadz. Merde.
