Operation Fug

So I know that I should be grateful that Jessica Simpson took time out of her hectic shopping schedule to visit kids in Africa and to promote Operation Smile, which is a very worthy cause.

But did she really think this was an appropriate outfit to wear while visiting an African village?



Because first of all, she's in Africa, not at a powwow. Second, that's gotta be way hot, temperature-wise---boots and a long-sleeve turtleneck? Third, um, did no one read the appropriate dress section of the guide book? A skirt that short is going to get the girl a reputation---and not in a good way. And finally, would it have killed her to try to respect the simplicity and poverty of the people's lives? This is a charity mission, not a fashion shoot.

Say what you will about Angelina,* but at least when she goes someplace, she dresses simply and appropriate to local standards.

And, yeah, I'm touchy about this.

* I actually have great respect for the work Angelina Jolie has done for humanitarian causes, even if I question her adoptions and love life.
