Governor Baggy Pants
I had an obese counselor for several years, a social worker. She was smart, experienced, a wit, & helpful. Since I tend to stutter making cold phone calls, sometimes I'd ask her to make them & set up appointments for me, which she did willingly & quickly. Despite her extreme weight she managed to dress very well indeed. I have no idea where she bought her clothes. Her female clients consulted her for advice on dressing for interviews, applying modest but effective makeup, hair styling. I look at Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who seems to get larger by the day & presents a huge target for sloppy fat guy jokes, & wonder, Can't he do anything to improve his appearance? I suppose there there isn't much that can done about fat guy baggy pants. But can't he get his suit jackets to hang better?
