@CaveMum

Obama does need to fix his mask - it's annoying me the way it's perched on the very tip of his nose!

Of course as a glasses wearer I pretty much have to wear mine right up under my eyes so that my glasses don't steam up!

Clinton Had his nose completely out the dirty bugger . Put it away Bill

@Lweji

Is there a significance to the purple? Everybody is wearing it.

colour of healing.

mix of republican red and democrat blue.

Its a deliberate choice.

@Hatstrategicallydipped

What's with the colour fascination?

Is a good start.

(remembers the "Tomorrow People" episode about the Reds and the Blues

)

Colour me Beautiful declare purple to be a colour that suits everyone (my beautiful self being the exception).

Traditionally, purple was considered regal?

whoop whoop!!

Its a deliberate choice.
Thought as much, just not sure about the meaning.

Blue and red stripes would have been more obvious !

But looks bloody awful on a tie.

I have to drive to the Mall. Back in half an hour.

Thanks ZZ

Amazon Prime is firmly sticking with the inauguration - if you have Prime

Have switched allegiance

Shopping mall, not National Mall :-)

Melania trying to ingratiate herself with Floridians no doubt. Oranges are huge over there

So moving with Eugene Goodman

Who is the woman with the curly hair with the big white collar on her dress? I like her style.

I suppose colour is significant sometimes. Notable times for me being whenever the Queen has anything to do with Ireland, she always wears green (indeed most royalty females wear green when visiting Ireland).
St. Patrick's Day, the US president traditionally wears a green tie.

Its snowing!

It's definitely cold enough that even Mike Pence is wearing a mask to keep warm

Kamala is a very good-looking woman too. Not that I'm reducing people to objects, but since nobody has spoken yet, it's the style that I'm watching.

Is that the woman with a checked coat with beads on the shoulders? That is Kamala's step daughter I think.

It cost a **ing fortune and was reserved for Emperors only in Rome.

Before synthetics, colours cost.

Harris's stepdaughter?

Joe and Jill!

Love Jill's sparkly ensemble

Judging by her sparkling eyes I think Kamala has a smile a mile wide going on under that mask. Rightly so!

Hope Biden has plenty of thermals on under that suit....

Oh - I love this couple already! Might be the Irish drop that has me biased
