When I saw this photo of actress Kim Whitley (actually at first I thought it was Jackee) showing her Obama pride at yesterday's BET awards, I was heartened to see the entertainment crowd getting vocal about politics; and then I reconsidered. There is such a thing as just plain tacky and the big block letters, ill fit and just plain wrong shade of purple distract from Whitley's good intentions. There's a right way to wear a message, whether a serious one or just for fun, like on this sunny yellow short-sleeved T-shirt. It's wry, stylish, and subtle. And if there's anything that we need more of into today's in-your-face culture, it's a tad more subtlety with our style, no?
