I Knew It

Anyone who might read these postings knows there's a race on for who is the most photographed woman with clothes on. And they would also know that Britain's Prime Theresa May has been reported to be piling on the style points and is pulling away from Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, somewhat like what Secretariet did to the field in the 1973 Belmont Stakes.

And now I know why. She wears leather pants and kitten heels. I knew the woman is a siren.

Today's NYT reports that people in Britain are in a lather about the Prime Minister's $1,250 leather pants, seen when she sat for an interview a few weeks ago on her sofa in her home for the Sunday Times Magazine.

Shame on those people. What did they want her to come out dressed as, a washerwoman in a bandana, sweats and wet sneakers? Not wear pants?

A few years ago Martha Stewart was photographed on her way into her trial for lying to the FBI with a hard-to-get Hermes Birkin bag on her shoulder. It was considered scandalous that she had such a bag. How silly. She probably didn't even pay for the bag, but got it instead because she'd be seen photographed with it. Eventually she got to wear orange for a while. Without toting a bag.

How do people even know that what the Prime Minister had on were $1,250 designer leather pants from Amanda Wakeley, whoever that is? They must have priced them for themselves and now were jealous.

The story reports that Britain's 'Trousergate,' as they are so originally calling it, has so boosted Amanda Wakeley's sales that no more can be found anywhere. Somebody's buying them in a country that people will have you believe is in the midst of a post-war austerity crisis.

I say, go Theresa, look good for the camera as long as you can. Eventually they stop taking your picture.
