Clinton engaged in 'arms control'

Tue, 06/30/2009 - 12:33pm

At her press briefing yesterday, Secretary Clinton thanked everyone who has sent her get-well flowers, and she joked, "I'm engaged in a different form of arms control, I think. Quite challenging."

Here's what her arm looked like as of yesterday:

Ooh, she looks Good! Her clothes are a bit unusual (for her).

Any idea who the white watch is by?

Wow, nice detail in that last picture of the sling.

Chevalier-
As for the watch, I'm a bit of a watch-junkie and I can't tell what kind it is- the pic gets fuzzier with each zoom.

I had the same reaction when I saw her clothes- different for her but she looks great- maybe she's just mixing it up a bit? Also, the clothes she wears may be selected, in part, by whether it works with the sling/cast- Her regular suit jackets may not fit well over the cast and I think it would be difficult and awkward to get her arm through a fitted pantsuit jacket without it hurting a lot- perhaps that's why in other pics she's been draping the jackets over her shoulder. This jacket looks very loose and is probably easier to get her arm in and out of it.

Ahh, that makes so much sense about the jacket. *nods*

The watch is Chanel. Bill

The watch is a Chanel J12. Bill bought it for her when she was getting teeth work done, it's the ceramic watch, it reminded him of teeth. :)

Some of her fans at another

Some of her fans at another blog know that watch. They say it is Chanel and a gift from Bill (who else?). One of them said she and her brother bought the same watch for their mom for Mother's Day. I trust these girls. They have very good eyes.

I agree with Stacy about the jacket. And I like the look! It's a little less tailored and very feminine. She looks adorable!

Wow, good work on the info

Wow, good work on the info about the watch!

I bet I wouldn't mind going to the dentist so much if someone bought me a nice watch...

:)

I love the look on her face

by anne on Tue, 06/30/2009 - 8:03pm

I love the look on her face when she's "listening to obama meeting with columbian president". She's all: uh oh, what is this tool saying now.

Saw a little clip of her press conference on abc. I felt bad for her at the end when they asked her if her elbow still hurts or something like that(uhh yeah stupid it probably does) she said yeah it does don't break your elbow.
