　　怎样穿：一副合适的眼镜会让你显得聪明而性感，所以在眼镜店挑一副无框眼镜或者就直接选择佩林所佩戴的眼镜。试戴各种镜架，找到一款能修饰你脸型的镜架。将头发挽成一个高髻，另外不要忘了让头发蓬起来。

　　Condoleeza Rice

　　The first black woman to serve as Secretary of State, CondoleezzaRice made headlines in 2005 for sporting a long, black military-inspiredjacket and black knee boots, a combination that The Washington Postdescribed as “speaking of sex and power。” She is usually picturedwearing stud earrings and red lipstick, but with few other reminders ofher femininity。
