Questionnaire: Barack the Vote!
BY Jeremy Tarr FOR LA2DAY.COM Oct 5, 2008
Every time Sarah Palin opens her trap to say "Nuke-u-lar" or John McCain stumps out that tired old bit about being a "Maverick," I die a little inside. I'm prone to sucking my thumb and taking to the fetal position in the darkest corner of my bedroom and putting on my security blanket, my Barack-the-Vote tee. Needless to say, I've been wearing this shirt a lot lately.
Barack-the-Vote tees, hoodies and accessories are the brain-child of Houston-born siblings Lori and Brandon Broussard, who upon seeing the catchphrase at an Austin, Texas Obama rally rushed off, Yes-we-can in the gourd, and formed Barackawear. 25% of net proceeds go to the Obama campaign. Today, with this historic election looming less than a month away, Lori Broussard sits down to take the LA2DAY Questionnaire to discuss scarves, bras, and of course, Barack Obama.
Who is the most stylish person you've ever met? Barack Obama...class, just pure class...the only thing I would change is to make sure he is always in a Barack the Vote T-Shirt (even if it's under his suit).
Who is the most stylish person in history? Jackie Onassis
Who is the least stylish person in history? Weird Al Yankovich
If you were to give the world a make-over, how would you style it? [With] some very comfy jeans (still cute though), vintage t-shirt (from thrift stores, of course) and some flip flops... I'd just want everyone to be comfortable in their own skin and feel good about themselves at the same time!
What is your favourite article of clothing? Jeans...I can't even count how many I have in my closet...
What is your least favourite article of clothing? Bra.
Is there one item of clothing that has gone out of style that you wish would come back? Ripped jeans...but I still have mine and make new ones constantly!
Is there one item of clothing that is in style that you wish would go out? Those huge scarves that guys wear around their necks, it makes them look like they're modern cowboys with really unnecessary expensive scarves on.
What are you wearing now? A vintage balloon skirt and a Barack the Vote T-shirt
What do you wish you were wearing now? No regrets...I just wish for a bigger closet!
