Lawrence Auster, at the View From the Right, has posted a photo of portfolio carrying, casual white jeans wearing, French Culture minister Aurelie Filippetti (via the Daily Mail). He of course, and rightly, is writing a commentary on the unprofessional attire of the minister. But, as he continues, she is very much aware of her "allure":
But see, I’m using the word “allure” in relation to heads of government departments. Which returns us to the realization that Western society has become a joke.Yes, Filippetti is very much aware of her allure, and is dressed to convey that, however casual she may appear. Her tight white jeans, her silky blouse, and her beige heels were all carefully selected for the ensemble to look alluring.
And the other women are no different. Pellerin has on especially high heels with large bows at the back, and a short mini skirt. Vallaud-Belkacem has on a tight knit dress with a zipper that goes from top to bottom, without as much as worrying about a wardrobe malfunction (her smile is too broad for any worries). And Batho has on an extra long fuchsia scarf that flaps around her form-fitting navy dress. Each woman has chosen some focal point to accentuate her allure. Pellerin's extra short mini skirt, Vallaud-Belkacem's daring zipper, Batho's bright flapping scarf, and Filippetti's sleeveless silk shirt (although her tight jeans also compete with the shirt) are all carefully chosen to convey this allure.
Yet seriousness is also cherished. Large, colorful portfolios and overstuffed handbags, full of important-looking documents, are carried like badges of honor.
