First lady fashion faceoff: Bonnie Brooks vs. Laureen Harper
While poring over photos from Sarah Jessica Parker’s recent appearance in Toronto, we were struck by an undeniable resemblance between first lady Laureen Harper (who knew she was allowed to watch Sex and the City?) and The Bay’s first lady of fashion, CEO Bonnie Brooks. The blond bobs, the LBDs, the come-hither cleavage…OK, fine, that’s just Brooks. But, boobs aside, the only discernible difference from photo to photo is the look on SJP’s (a.k.a. S.J.Wee) face. Could it be that Carrie Bradshaw’s not a fan of Stephen Harper’s stance on barley farmers? Nah, she’s probably just hungry.
