"I&amp;#x27;ve never been that into politics (my idea of watching the VP debates last night was catching a few minutes of them post-gym while simultaneously cooking dinner and flipping channel to baseball playoffs), and, while I really like designer Catherine Malandrino&amp;#x27;s American flag dress, I&amp;#x27;m really not sure I can get behind such boldfaced displays of patriotism&amp;amp;#8212;could you? As you may remember from her guest appearance on Project Runway a long time ago, Malandrino is actually French, but she considers this flag dress emblematic of her breakthrough in the good old USA. This month, she&amp;#x27;s even opening a new store in Los Angeles that&amp;#x27;ll house both her expensive and cheaper (read: less expensive) lines, a library, a cafe (perfect for those of us who can&amp;#x27;t afford a dress right now, but might like a decaf), etc. And, good news for anyone who would wear on a flag on your dress: You will be admitted to the polls wearing this get-up, whereas anything with a specific candidate endorsement (i.e. an Obama or McCain T-shirt) will have to cover-up or not be allowed inside. Yup, it&amp;#x27;s against the law to tout your candidate preference inside a polling place, so keep that in mind next month. Tell me: What&amp;#x27;s the most patriotic thing you&amp;#x27;ve ever worn? (And yes, Fourth of July attire does count)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
