HIGH-FASHION ALERT: Pope Benedict rocks Gucci and Prada!

Pope Benedict rocks Gucci & Prada



The pregnant Halle Berry, as the new face of Versace, might get a nod from Pope Benedict.

We all heard this week that Halle Berry and boyfriend Michael Ealy are expecting a child out of wedlock -- but did you know that the newest Pope is "sinful" about high-fashion?


Known to many as a "bit of a clotheshorse," the Pope has a taste for Prada shoes and Gucci sunglasses. In stark contrast, the previous Pope John XXIII taste in clothes was extremely simple, demonstrated by the worn loafers that were on his feet as his body lay in state.


Well, this new Pope is here to say gluttony and high-fashion is not a deadly sin.


It was reported in "The Tablet," a Roman Catholic newspaper in England, Pope Benedict ditched long-time tailor (Annibale Gammarelli), whose firm has been serving the Vatican since 1792.




The paper also pointed out the new pope's expensive sunglasses and shoes -- and we thought only "tired queens" wore expensive designer clothes. In addition to designer sunglasses, the Pope has favored padded quilt jackets, jumpsuits, baseball caps.



(Girlfriend, did we hear that right? -- "jumpsuits" and "padded quilt jackets?" -- now, that's just wrong). Jesus must be rolling over in his grave.



How long before the Pope does his own Gucci ads in Vogue magazine?

I wore red shoes home over Thanksgiving and my mom said if the Pope could do it, she supposed I could to. My mom isn't Catholic. She is a bit on the fashion deficiency side though.


Also, those shoes look hideous with that white robe. He looks like Dorothy in her ruby red slippers. I wonder how many people have said the Pope looks gay? teehee - I bet that'd rattle a few Vatican feathers!!

hrm,


actually i don't like this at all.  priests take a vow of poverty - basically that they don't have anything but what they need to survive.


the robes, etc use to perform mass belong to the church and not the priest, and it's respectful to look your best while worshipping, so i don't have a problem with those being nice, but for the pop to have such expensive taste in clothing which he indulges seems wrong to me.  a long time ago popes were political figures akin to corrupt kings - using their power and position to secure a very luxurious lifestyle.  this completely negates their intentioned role.


ugh


i'm not happy with this pope at all now!

Hermione, I feel the same way as you do.  I think it is sick.
