Best of 2010: Chantel Biya (and Runner Ups)
You know what I got sick of in 2010? People calling political wives “style icons”. Carla Bruni, Michelle Obama, Samantha Cameron (?!?!?!!), they were all fawned over by their respective national presses for thier “effortless chic”. It’s effortless because they have all hired someone to dress them! These three women obviously have many style advisors and personal shoppers on their payroll, and that’s fine, but if I want to call someone a “style icon” I want them to at least dress themselves.
You know who looks like she dresses herself? The First Lady of Cameroon, her beautiousness, Mme. Chantel Biya.
Look at her. Say what you want, but that shit didn’t come off the rack at J-Crew, and it wasn’t handpicked by Anna Wintour either. That’s all Chantel. Revisit her radiance here and here.

About the Site
Polonoscopy is a site devoted to political fluff. While I do appreciate that there are important issues out there… with respect… eh… don’t really care. Not here anyway, not now, that is not what Polonoscopy is about. Fluff. It’s all about image and perception in politics. Rather than vote for someone based on a record of public service and commitment to the meaningful issues of the day, wouldn’t you rather vote for someone who’s personality seems similar if only slightly more impressive then your own? Of course, we all would.
