What is it with Chunky Pearls?!Rae Ann Herman, of Glamour Magazine, says of McCain's "Chunky Pearls", “A chunky necklace needs a confident woman to carry it off...”

What is the deal?! "Chunky" is honestly the best word these fashion afficionados can come up with? To me, when I hear the word chunky I think of a candy bar and those extra holiday pounds, not a $100,000 strand of pearls.
This is an article about the differing styles of McCain and Obama - the wives not the dueling boys. It seems that the two potential first ladies are bringing pearls to the forefront of style once again. It is back to the days of Onassis boys and girls.
Do you know what I did not vote for Hillary? When asked "diamonds or pearls," her response was "both." That is just plain wrong!

Mrs. Obama's necklace reminds me of Wilma Flinstone's. What if, instead of "chunky," we call them Flinstone pearls?
I would have to go with "Wilma Pearls", from Wilma Flinstone, of course. That seems to be the term of choice from the folks over at Pearl-Guide.
