I don't have tv and don't read the paper...I'm so ignorant about current events!! I only found out from friends facebook updates and still don't know the real story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175666 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 19:15:12 +0000 Scarlet 175666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo, I will watch out for her now. </p> <p>Along the same lines (not talking politics one way or the other), Yulia Tymoshenko, who was the PM of Ukraine until recently, definitely uses style as part of her politics. Fascinating, to me, at least. Here is a slideshow about her:#<br /> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/14/julia-tomyshenko-a-world_n_174952.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....74952.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175558 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:55:57 +0000 RoseandJoan 175558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Fab, I will add her to my list of political figures to watch (style wise) the list is really growing Michelle O, Sam Cam (UK), Carla Bruni, Queen Sofia of Spain. YAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175543 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:30:07 +0000 Queen Mum 175543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam- we saw that here in our last Presidential election. All anybody could talk about was how much Sarah Palin was spending on her clothes. Nobody gives a rip about how the men are dressed as long as they have a suit and tie on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175538 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:27:57 +0000 yublocka 175538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know nothing about politics, but still think its great. What does annoy me is that the only critics I have heard of JG so far have all been commenting about her nose, or her dress sense......would anyone have said that if it was a male? No!!! Grrrrr!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175537 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:26:22 +0000 Queen Mum 175537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stringy gave me the run down... very interesting. We haven't had that much excitement here since California ousted what's his name and replaced him with the Terminator. haha... what WAS his name? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175536 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:25:22 +0000 Vix 175536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There really are so few women leaders in politics or corporate land it's nice to see more examples of such.</p> <p>As much as I enjoy seeing how Michelle Obama chooses to present herself to the world she's not the Boss...looking forward to seeing how the new PM does things style-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175531 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:19:20 +0000 anne 175531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Stringy - you got there first or I'd do it<br /> (fresh from watching the news and the 7:30 report on the DVR. I have been completely disregarding my usual rules about internet use today too (ie not when kids are awake) but the side effect is that I have managed to read more of YLF too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175501 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:42:46 +0000 stringy 175501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queenie, I'll PM you some links... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175474 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 13:51:11 +0000 Queen Mum 175474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been trying to figure out how this works and the news stories aren't answering my questions... someone can PM me if you'd like and explain.. or link an article for me.<br /> I'm gathering this wasn't a regularly scheduled election? Has she been working to oust him?... or did someone wake up yesterday and say 'we're tired of this guy" Was the last guy impeached?<br /> someone please educate me on the workings of Australian politics... and like I said you can PM me to keep this thread from getting political. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175467 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 13:45:36 +0000 chellebrate 175467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations and way to go Australia!

Don't worry, I won't bore anyone with the ins and outs of it :P</p> <p>I'm very pleased for Ms Gillard, she's worked hard to get where she is. Her hair has always been great - I assume the First Hair Technician is responsible, it must be so convenient. If I had the press watching my every move my hair would be mocked in all the papers, she can just get him to sort it out before she leaves the house! Her style is typically politician - suits and so on - but I think that's only to be expected. There's a time and a place for being fashion forward, and Parliament floor probably isn't it!</p> <p>Quentin Bryce is just amazing. So classy at all times, a very classic style. And yet creative, too. She doesn't subscribe to any ideas about mature ladies having to be drab, good on her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175436 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:19:31 +0000 Sparky 175436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A female PM, that is huge! It will be neat to watch how she dresses and presents herself as the leader of Australia. Can you imagine waking up in the morning, going to your closet and wondering, "What will I wear today? What is my mood, what am I doing, what's clean, what looks best on my figure, and oh yes, what is appropriate as head of the country, and that will stand up to multiple news photographers from all angles?" </p> <p>I love the idea of a "first bloke" as mentioned in the article. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175428 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:52:47 +0000 Laura 175428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Australia!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175371 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 07:03:07 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 175371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, my "political" friends were all commenting on it yesterday predicting that it was going to happen. Good day for politics!</p> <p>NZ's first female PM was the result of a coup too - but then of course we got our second one pretty soon after! At one stage we had female Prime Minister, Govenor General and Chief Justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175366 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 06:53:40 +0000 Theresa 175366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a pic of her with the Governor-General and her partner - I think these two women are stunning together... and Quentin Bryce just oozes class and elegance.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theaustralian.com.au/politics/women-in-power-as-julia-gillard-sworn-in-as-australian-prime-minister-by-quentin-bryce/story-e6frgczf-1225883800485" rel="nofollow">http://www.theaustralian.com.a.....5883800485</a></p> <p>Anne I think you could be right you know!</p> <p>KP I know - regardless of the politics behind it, it is still a monumental day - something I honestly didn't see happening so soon.</p> <p>Kate that's funny - I know quite a few men who think she is one very attractive lady and will no doubt pay more attention to politics now LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175350 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:32:42 +0000 anne 175350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know something else about her - I'd say she was textbook "pretty pear".

Living on the other side of the world I don't know who she is. So I googled her. I found a series of photos and it is interesting to see how her look has changed. It's official, I have become a total girly-girl. Historic political event and I want to know about her fashion choices. My, how things have changed with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-australia-has-its-first-female-prime-minister#post-175251 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:28:18 +0000 anne 175251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still in shock at the suddeness of it.
