    My childrens children googling why all politicians paint their face orange.

    In the 21th century, sun tans were an important aspect of fashion – well tanned skin was the mark of a well-bred man. Unfortunately, being out in the sun was on the decline, thus affecting more americans than just the tech obsessed gamers. This happened well before the discovery of genetic pigment alteration, so people afflicted with bad skin suffered all the effects, including wrinkles and botchy patches. As good sun tans were associated with status and style, loneliness and bad eating habits compounded the shame of having pale skin.

    I know this isn’t the point, but IMO a suit really is a clown nose.

    Like, you’re tying a little bit of colourful fabric around your neck and letting it dangle down? That’s supposed to look serious? This is the clothing associated with a serious man?

    And you’re wearing a coat that doesn’t close properly? It only has buttons at the bottom, then has the male equivalent of a “boob window” for you to show off your shirt and tie?

    And don’t get me started on how the suit technically has pockets, but you’re not actually supposed to use them because they ruin the look… except for the breast pocket where you’re supposed to put a fully decorative hanky.

    Look at me! I’m conforming! I don’t have independent thoughts! I wear a suit!

        I’m afraid I don’t know them. Google tells me she is a far right politician. Anything else I need to know about her?

    At least he didn’t wear a tan suit that would have been even worse!

    He should apologize for making that room appear like clowns.
