I really like the way the Glade Lady dresses. For a 30 second commercial, her clothes really make an impact (on me, anyway).

The Glade Lady -- the one who says "They said it wouldn't last." I don't remember exactly what she wears, but she's always struck me as an attractive, sophisticated and stylish woman.

I just Googled Glade Lady and apparently she has a following. Her real life name is Dori Kelly, and she used to be a fashion model in Milan. I wonder if she likes to sew.

I think mine is the buxom Miss Piggy.

I never cringe at what I've worn. I simply try to look past the clothes to see moi's inner beauty, which remains timeless and younger looking every year. And if that doesn't work, I try to destroy all the pictures. Miss Piggy, 2009

From what others have said, the nasty message came from Fitting Woes, NOT Misc Hot Topics or the Civility thread.

Marlene Dietrich. I love her tailored sophistication, her idiosyncracy, her way of being emphatically female without being feminine, and that very faint whiff of corruption.

Chic.

No *way* will I ever look that fab but I love her style.

It's a custom-made designer original. I made it myself.

I'm not surprised the Glade Lady has a following! But I didn't realize I had company!

As for Miss Piggy - I guess MOI just don't have enough confidence to dress the way she does!

I absolutely LOVE the way Michelle Obama dresses and I respect her all the more for making some unconventional choices.

I don't think I've ever heard Marlene Dietrich described so well. If I didn't know who she was I wouldn't even need a picture after reading your description!
