“PEPLUM AND POLITICS” APPROACHES PALMETTO STATE FROM UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT
|| By FITSNEWS || There’s a new voice in the South Carolina political blogosphere … one approaching the conversation from what we have to admit is a unique, unconventional angle.
Ashley Hunter – a lobbyist with Columbia, S.C.-based McKay Public Affairs – is launching a new website entitled “Peplum and Politics” this week.
“Our bloggers will keep you on trend and in the know with timely and fashionable posts,” the website’s Facebook page noted.
For those of you educated in one of South Carolina’s government-run schools, “Peplum” is derived from a Greek word meaning “tunic.” In modern usage, it is defined as “a short section attached to the waistline of a blouse, jacket, or dress.”
But fear not … the website will apparently focus some of its attention on shoes, one of our founding editor’s legendary fetishes.
Take a look …

While longtime FITS readers may be aware of some, um, “history” involving the creative forces behind “Peplum” and those responsible for this website, we gotta say … we’re kind of excited to see what they bring to the table.
We’re also a little jealous we didn’t come up with this concept ourselves …
Politics (especially legislative politics) needs to be approached from creative vantage points … interesting angles which take into account the diversity of interests among those who participate in (or follow) the second-oldest profession. And with so many women now occupying positions of influence in what was once a “man’s world,” it’s safe to say fashion represents one of those diverse interests.
So props to Hunter and her crew … we wish their venture nothing but success in the marketplace of ideas.

Poor, sad Will. He has to keep reminding people that he may or may not have had relations with a woman. Must be a Republican thing.
FITS is anything BUT a Republican. He will beg you to believe that faster than the Republicans.
He’s a republican, you’re a republican. Good for both of you.
Yeah: He’s Nikki Haley’s biggest fan…like you…
Can you change the name of the Democrat Party to the Idiot Party…and elect you chairman.
Yeah: He’s Nikki Haley’s biggest fan…
Well, he did endorse her in 2010. Who did you endorse in 2010? Oh, right, right…
Just like Boz will beg you to believe he is not a homosexual?
Who cares however they do appear awfully defensive and paranoid bout the attachment of such labels?
I beg nothing. Only idiots who don’t know me at all believe I’m gay.
Defensive? No, I merely state truth to counter bullshit.
I could nearly in my life be as defensive, ever, as you are OFFensive!
Seriously, where’s the friggin’ book?! Even Sarah Palin has a damn book, and she may or may not even be able to read!
The “history” escapes me. So does the relevance of this venture.
btw, words like ““Peplum” might not be taught by any BigT-approved private school or homeschoolers, either, due to that whole Greek homo thing. Touchy subject for his type.
Homophobe much?

A piece of history in Myrtle Beach will soon be torn down after the building that housed… Time Out! bar stood for more than 20 years, and it was more like a home. … “So there really isn’t a section of town where all the gay people live and shop.
Ain’t been the same since.
It’s ironic..like so much w/ the Boz-liberal types.
They will scream hate at you in defense of the most bizarre, child-endangering activity…as THEIR RIGHT….
But they are the first to use the groups they so endear themselves to for political convenience, as an insult to those they continually attack as close-minded….
Ain’t life a fucking bitch sometimes, Lawrence?
Fact is, I’ve turned in any number of men I knew to be pedopile rapists (from first-hand accounts by their victims), and in general know that they are far from being the majority in the gay community.
More of a danger to children as sexual preditors? Apparently a lot of priests, some fundie ministers, some GOP and Dem pols, and some coaches and assistant coaches.
Its all in your perspective, sport. You and pogo are probably not really gay, just as I most definitely am not. But you spout such total bullshit about it and mix it in with way too many anal references not make it fair game to go there in responses to you.
It’s what you get for being the kinds of dickhead trolls that neither righties, lefties or moderates want to be associated with.
Show me your company-keepers and I’ll tell you who you are….
Sounds like you roll w/ a bunch of perverts and child molesters…LMAO…
Again: You’re all over the road after I called you out for Gay-bashing after you claim to be open-minded and all in for any type of homosexual activity as a right…You sure are squealing…Hahahaha…
Such a weird way to interpret my words. I could not very well be an actor and entertainer for so many years, and work with others in productions, etc., and be a gay-hater. And OF COURSE any type of homosexuality between CONSENTING ADULT HUMAN BEINGS is a right. What right do you have to tell anyone it isn’t? Either you believe in freedom or you don’t, pal. I in no way condone sex with minors, on the part of any adult. Ever. Get fucking clear on that and stop writing such utter garbage.
His BFF on a particular city council was called ‘out’ for apparently having an issue with ‘minors’ by the county GOP a few years ago at the GOP meeting/ convention.
He is ‘squealing’ and defensive for good reason? :-)
That was crap. Nobody ever gave specifics, just said he sometimes went to certain bars in North Myrtle Beach where undraged girls often got admitted. Something of a tradition in North Myrtle Beach, you know. When I was growing up, it was said that if you are big enough to reach the top of the bar in O.D.and lay down your money, you can get served beer. Not as much the case these days, but fact is a few bars all along the Grand Strand are lax in that regard.
One person trying to bring somebody down in an open meeting of a country party organization does not mean someone is guilty of a crime. It is not like an accusation from a victim. It’s just somebody who played dirty politics. I was fooled by some of these same people about certain politicians in MB. I have learned better.
When will you, pogo? When will you?
boom
Homophobe much?
Plagiarize (because you’re a brainless liberal Dumb@$$) much?…..LMAO…
This coming from the guy who copy/pastes headlines from Drudge to make his arguments for him, now that’s funny.
Not according to your bedmate pogo.
The cry goes out::::::: MID-THIGH SKIRTS and 6″ HEELS..!!!
Peplum you say
Looks like every flea market and furniture barn is going to have a run on old couches
Female Cockroaches in South Carolina tend to dress in what they sit on
About as superficial as one can get. Woot.
You are just upset that it will only include Republican babes because Democrat women are ugly as shit.
Utter bullshit is all that you can spew.
LMAO!!! Ya just looked in the mirror, didn’t ya?
Not only is the leader of the SC Democratic Party, Jean Hoefer Toal, ugly as hell, she is corrupt, mean spirited and evil….Good thing she has Bill Nettles protecting her….
To say Jean Toal look like a Keebler Elf would be an insult to Keebler Elves.
LMAO……
PS: My experience is that most liberal women -depending on how they look – are the most-pious, condescending and arrogant bullies in the country…or they are self-esteem-less, hopeless and helpless victims…They blame everybody else for their mistakes….and both types hate men, except for what they can get out of them….
Triffling twaddle from the BIG TEA-TWAT.
Feinstein, Wasserman Schultz, DeLauro, Maloney, DelBene, Lee… it’s hard to determine who got beaten the hardest with the ugly stick. Those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head.
On the other hand, wasn’t Pelosi a beauty queen or something like that?….. And she has a brain to match (my apologies to beauty queens)….LMAO…And Maxine Waters is a Hottie…isn’t she?… (:
McKay PA is a bipartisan firm. And Ashley Hunter is hot but she also leans a little lib.
bless their hearts
By Liz. Good luck.
I wish. I’m guessing the commenters over there aren’t nearly as deranged. I am taking a hiatus, but not to write for someone else. So -you’re welcome.
PS – glad to know I’m always on your mind…
Liz, is that you in the photo ad above for “9 Men You Won’t Believe Actually Exist”? Just curious….. ya’ know — since you’ve been gone awhile.
Hey, be nice to Liz. She’s good people.
I like Liz, it’s just that her first picture on Fitsnews (in the hotel lobby) looks like the girl in the ad!
Actually I was thinking that Liz would be wooed away to the new site. Anyway, sounds like I flushed out the hiatus info. Sorry to hear that, I truly am a fan! Hurry up with the R&R and get back to work.
I’m guessing the commenters over there aren’t nearly as deranged.
This is the internet. The only time the commenters aren’t deranged is when there’s a paid moderator working 24/7 to delete and ban.
Liz,
While you are on hiatus………you can enjoy this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vrEljMfXYo
……as for these politico women, you need to start your own FITz line of shoes to be sold via this “battlefield website”. We all know you wear adorable BOOTS….!!!
Liz………are you really gonna let these three rookie “skirts” show up to some restaurant you have reviewed wearing shoes you could have designed…?
Lets go Liz………..who needs SHARK TANK…!! Fits has YOU…!
Commenters on here are not as deranged as the ones on TMZ.
Low bar, I realize.
Over there, and on a bunch of other such sites, I’m called a “mangina”, and far worse, for not wanting Bill Cosby to be the next Pope. Mean crazy trolldom is alive and not well at all in that realm.
Dang, I thought Grand Tango was launching a new fashion site. I would’ve put People of Wal-Mart to shame.
Err.. It would’ve put People of Wal-Mart to shame.
Two of those models should have stayed home.
WTF Squish, which one got the pass?
All three. Woof!
The brunette looks like her face got hung up in a potato peeler.
This is a joke, right? An homage to The Onion?
Let’s start with that hideous suit Nikki wore today. The white coat suit she wore 4 years ago was great, but today’s outfit is just awful. The boots do not coordinate or enhance the ensemble.
They got her hair color better today, however.
Miss Doris, have your smelling salts nearby when you see The State’s online photo of the Haleys at the Inaugural Ball. I do believe the spotlight revealed Her Excellency’s panties through that chiffon gown. How embarrassing.
Fits, how many pairs of shoes you got? I got 82.
I’d hit it.
if you like crazy
Peplum is so on the way out…. duh.
Thought the founding editor was going to snag Faye Reagan as freckle editor at one time… c’est la vie
