FASHION INSURGENCY: CINDY SHEEHAN

Recently, when Cindy Sheehan was threatening to run for office, we offered some heartfelt fashion advice on ways to glam up her image (no, they didn't include a paper bag). Yet here she is again, frauleining around at some protest dressed like a peasant. Is it any wonder the Age of Peace is not upon us? Take two:

Brassiere: If you know you're going to be writhing around in public like a pole dancer, don't throw on some cheapass Playtex shit from JC Penney. Suggestion: Victoria's Secret Lace Push-up in eye-catching aqua

Panties: Try them sometime. Obviously you wanted to avoid VPLs, but seriously, a thong strap would be oh-so-hot right as the Gestapo is getting ready to split your head like an after-Halloween pumpkin.

Shoes: Ever hear of pumps? A lady will put up with a little sciatica as long as she looks fabulous, & you'll have all the lesbians fighting over you when they throw you in the pit!

Outerwear: A peace goddess does not wear Timberline. Prescription: an evil little black chenille jacket with faux fur trim to repel the PETA phreaks. Divine!

Abs: Get some. Seriously, if you're going to run around baring your midriff like Gwen Stefani, get down with some Pilates & switch to Bud Light.

Handbag, anyone? Exactly where do you keep your compact & mad money? Next time try a Juicy Couture Velour Wristlet in Farrah pink & dirty bronze.

Mens black dress socks: No. No. No.

More suggestions here. Ace: "Politics is just show business for ugly people."

ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR METROSEXUALS IN PAKISTAN

Fashion tips for guys from Dawn, 'Pakistan's Most Widely Circulated English Newspaper':

"Striped shirt where the stripes on the sleeves & front run in opposite direction. Normally not tucked in pants. Can be without stripes, but definitely have checks or any kind of design. The collars are definitely bigger & wider. These shirts are way tighter than an average office shirt & are meant for casual dressing. Immensely popular among teenage boys & men who are young at heart. From colleges to shopping malls & from parties to family gatherings these shirts are easy to wear & give an instant trendy look."

I think I had one of those in 7th grade...
