Bombagenesis Friday, Followed By Bomb Cyclone Saturday

As a rule nothing can remove a higher-than-average precipitation weather event from the front page. However the media will make an exception in the event they can dish some dirt on Trump, any person related to Trump or any person once associated with the aforementioned Trump. Therefore this year’s snow-event of the century (Bomb Cyclone! Bombagenisis!!) is going to have to play second fiddle to Fire and Fury! which seems to be a book all about Steve Bannon’s firing and his subsequent fury.

So I leave this FLOTUS Friday thread up to you; feel free to discuss Melania – who is apparently still being held in captivity against her will by the evil king – or feel free to turn your attention toward either the weather or Sloppy Steve™.

I will confess to not being a big fan of Melania’s New Year’s Eve Erdem gown. I preferred last year’s Dolce & Gabbana selection:

But then I’ve always been a sucker for a little black dress worn with a simple multi-strand diamond bracelet.

As for her return to D.C. outfit: I love the camel Bottega Veneta pea coat, and appreciate the coordination of the oxblood colored Hermès Birkin bag, turtle neck, leather trousers and stilettos. And while nobody could wear them better, I’m a thumbs down on skin-tight pants that wrinkle the moment you move, let alone sit down. So I’ll just focus on the color palette. Which I love.

And no, I can’t afford any of them, but it doesn’t bother me that in this great United States of America some people can. Because if that were not the case, we’d all be Venezuela.
