Oscar de la Renta says Laura Bush has eyes "like sapphires"

[BurtWorm]

September 1, 2004 -- OSCAR de la Renta took his inspi ration for the tur quoise outfit he de signed for Laura Bush from the first lady's own eyes. "She has the most ex traordinary eyes," the de signer told PAGE SIX's Lisa Marsh. "I have never seen blue eyes like hers — very in tense — like sapphires." So intense, he said, he suspected they couldn't possibly be the real thing. "So I said, Mrs. Bush, I want to ask you a very in discreet ques tion: 'do you wear contact lenses?' She doesn't."

9. Oscar said that to point out that Pickles

DOES wear colored contacts, but it would seem catty to say it outright.

Just my opinion.

him sell more outfits.

14. I guess he had to mention

her eyes to prevent from talking about the elephant on her face: her prune-like lips, as a result of chain smoking.

15. sorry oscar

but your days are way over..there`s only a few old women left who would still by your stuff..but as long as you can find them more power to ya`. as for laura- design her a new pant suit that will flatter her big assed hips even more and she`ll love you. meanwhile maybe you could call the other has been- jose`- or what ever his name is, to give her a new helmet hair look....
