A gender-studies dropout could have seen it coming. From the moment Hillary Clinton declared her presidential ambitions, her appearance became fodder for the pundits. “Does our looks-obsessed culture want to stare at an aging woman?” right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh asked. The Washington Post dedicated more than 700 words to a discussion of Clinton’s C-Span cleavage, deeming it an “exceptional kind of flourish." Ultimately, it was the endless array of suits that became Clinton's style takeaway. Even as she endorsed Obama at the Democratic National Convention, she paid homage to her fans as "the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits."
