Lauren Bush and date with her hideous FEED bag.
Lauren Bush, that is. Lauren, a model and George W.’s niece, has created FEED Bags (right), which benefit the U.N. World Food Program (H/T Felissa Benjamin). Women’s Wear Daily reported that the eco-friendly bags will be sold at Whole Foods and each bag sold “will provide 100 school meals to hungry children in Rwanda.” It’s great if you want to donate money to hungry children in Rwanda, and it’s fine by me if you want to carry an eco-friendly bag to the grocery store. But these ugly bags are not okay. I’d much rather see these burlap sacks in a cattle pen than on the shoulders of fashionistas. And to embarrass cousin Jenna–who is reportedly wearing fabulous Oscar de la Renta at her wedding–even more, Lauren might not even be a Republican! New York‘s The Cut blog reported recently that Lauren’s vote for president is “in the air.” She said, “I think this election is very exciting. I mean, to have a woman and a black man as leading candidates is pretty amazing, and it’s about time.” I guess politics isn’t necessarily hereditary.
