IN ALMOST two decades on and off the campaign trail, Hillary Rodham Clinton...

0IN ALMOST two decades on and off the campaign trail, Hillary Rodham Clintonhas 01b00weathered 02b00(=survived)01b00 02b00criticisms of her hair, her clothes and even a hint ofcleavage. Now she has decided to01b00 join the ranks of02b00 (=to become one of them) her own 01b00fashionpolice 02b00(=people whose objective is to observe how other people dress etc).02br
00The February 18 issue of the celebrity gossip magazine 01i00US Weekly02i00 hashit the newsstands with a rare 00exclusive — her own picks of her all-time worst outfits.02br
00Senator Clinton has 01b00pulled few punches 02b00(=to deliberately hit someone with less force than you could do, so that it hurts less)01b00 02b00against herself in thefour-page spread, disowning outfits such as the high-waisted striped pants fromher college days ("It's not my fault," her comment read. "It wasthe '60s.") and a long, 01b00shaggy02b00 (=long and untidy fur), violently multicoloured coat ("I'm abig believer in recycling — even carpets!").02br
00The 01b00unflinching02b00 (=something which is strong and steady and which never weakens) portfolio also included pictures of Senator Clintonin baggy shorts, a polka-dot dress and a Christmas sweater that would make 01b00BridgetJones02b00 01b00blanch 02b00(=become pale, surprised).02br
00So 01b00how on earth02b00 (=used for emphasis when you are surprised, angry etc) did 01i00US Weekly02i00 persuade Senator Clinton, whorecently 01b00backed out of02b00 (=to disagree to do) an undoubtedly tasteful 01i00Vogue02i00 photo shoot,to publicise some of her 01b00least flattering fashion moments02b00 (=moments when her fashion wasn't worthy of any admiration rather it made her look goofy)?02br
00"It was pretty simple," said Janice Min, the editor of 01i00USWeekly02i00.02br
00"One of the editors in the office had the idea, we laughed for a second— and then put in a request to Mrs Clinton's camp. And they said an immediateyes."02br
01i00US Weekly02i00 selected about 12 photos and sent them to Senator Clinton'sstaff, who then returned them with her comments. Min said the staff membersraised no objections to any of the photos chosen.02br
00The Clinton campaign workers, who have seen their candidate's everyemotional 01b00tic and tear 02b00scrutinised, may have considered the article asanother way to show her likeability — and to reach the 01b00largely02b00 youngbase of 1.9 million 01i00US Weekly02i00 readers.02br
00"In a campaign where everybody is trying to criticise her as being too robotic,too unemotional or too power-hungry, it was an interesting way to show her warmand funny side," Min said.02br
00"I think a lot of people have suspected that she has a pretty goodsense of humour 01b00under there02b00."02br
00But the magazine 01b00stopped short of02b00 (=to decide that you are not willing to do something wrong or dangerous) officially endorsing SenatorClinton in the primary race, and the editors are considering equal time for theother Democratic contender.02br
00"There's an editor who is a big Barack Obama supporter lobbying for usto do a Barack Obama 'Just Like Us' piece," Min said, referring to aregular feature of the magazine that shows celebrities performing mundanetasks.02br
00"We'll see if he has any photos of him taking out the garbage.''02br
