The the ascension of Theresa May to British Prime Minister has perhaps given Angela Merkel competition for the title of World's Most Photographer Woman with Clothes On.
Take the above photo of Chancellor Merkel standing with Prime Minister May on a podium listening to national anthems in Berlin during a visit by Prime Minister May. Obviously both are clothed and photographed together, like competitors before the start of a race. Who will emerge the victor?
Take the next photo, of Prime Minister May meeting France's President Francois Hollande in Paris during Ms. May's first visit to Paris as British prime minister. There is a flash of the back of Prime Minister's May's left leg, revealed by perhaps an intentionally neglected zipper. The gauntlet has been thrown down. Angela's nowhere to be seen.
Thus, we have the start of the competition. I don't know what kind of odds British bookmakers have on the race--if they have any at all--but my guess is Chancellor Merkel might start out as the favorite to pull ahead and stay there, given British reticence and shyness. But if Prime Minister May continues to reveal herself ever so slightly, the odds can change.
