I'd hit Caroline Kennedy anyday, twice!
My God, she is the looker of the lot, better than Jackie (yes, heresy).

The "preppy" lady is about two decades too young to know what the word means.

Is Ann Coulter a female Trad?

I think we can claim Paris Hilton

Not terribly on point, but tangentially related to the topic at hand:

Trad before Trad was cool?

Crude observation anyone?

"Trad" ends well before JFK.

Cool doesn't come into "Trad" and never has since it was invented in 2004...

Even "Preppy" looks back to the 50's more than the 60's when you think about the worldview satirised by the OPH (And no OPH, no 80's "Preppy", folks!).

It's odd...

All this stuff looks relentlessly backwards, but never celebrates when it was young, fresh and full of vigour.
Rather "Trad" looks to when this style was worn by the old and infirm and celebrates that.

Very odd.

Harris must still be in his 30's.
The rest are, what? In their 40's?
Intrepid is probably currently celebrating 78 glorious years of social class insecurity and so for him I can see the appeal...

But why would a man of early middle age wish to associate himself with the catheter and the stoma?

Why glorify the unsteady hand and the wandering mind?

Is it "Classy" to need to call for the nurse to remind you of your name?

Maybe so.

Viva Trad!
