The Race Tightens a Bit

The race between Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May got a bit closer the other day with this publication of Prime Minister May's photo in the NYT. The race, you will remember, is for 'The World's Most Photographed Woman with Clothes On.

Until the ascension of Ms. May's position as a female leader of a large European country, Chancellor Merkel pretty much had the field to herself. Now, here comes Ms. May, seen here headed to giving a speech to delegates in Birmingham, England. Her theme is that there is a 'new center ground' to take.

Ms. Merkel is probably mired down with immigration woes, and the announcement by the U.S. Justice Department of a $14 billion fine against Deutsche Bank, causing people in Germany to start to utter the words, "too big to fail," which by the way was an answer to a final 'Jeopardy' question the other night. (I got it.)

In the photo, Ms. May is seen wearing a simple, age appropriate suit, at an age appropriate length, mid-knee, completed with stylish, but sensible shoes with just he right of heel. Simple, but elegant, as they say.

Watch out, Angela. The British are coming.
