A devoted pigeon wrote in to complain about CNN anchor Candy Crowley’s necklace after last night’s debate, which led me to do some research on Crowley’s attire and therefore on other news anchors. Very interesting! In this election season, I think we can learn a lot from paying attention to the talking heads on the telebision. Just as folks in the pews see us mostly as “talking heads” from many of our pulpits (and during other public appearances), so do these gals have to express who they are from the neck up:
Candy Crowley, excellent necklace.
Alina Cho, nice elongating neckline, great hair.
Candy, good idea to vamp up your make-up to compensate for the bland color palette, but it’s too much. Those eyebrows are scary, and that camel blouse if from Yikesville on you. Get rid of it.
Carol Costello, you’re in the public eye. Yes, you’re very pretty but you need to polish this look up, girl!
Fredricka Whitfield, the pin OR the scarf would have worked — not both. Too distracting and matchy-matchy. Great color blouse, great smile.
Kiran Chetry, great use of bold lip color to add a pop to an otherwise sombre outfit.
Kyra Phillips, love the emerald green and classic line, but you could use a bit more color in the face to avoid looking tired and washed out.
Lola Oggunaike, love the hair, love the make-up, love the color of the blouse. It all works perfectly.
Candy, better color and the necklace is a nice touch. But here the make-up needs a little bit of brightening. The color is washing you out, girl, I’m sorry! Go get that lippy you were wearing in the first photo — that was great on you!
