I watched the Inauguration ceremony together with my son,
Michio.
It went down Tokyo Time from around 1:30 am till about 2:30 am.
As citizens, we wanted to watch history in the making...
I loved Aretha Franklin,
"The Queen of Soul" being part of the proceedings...
Her lovely hat, like her music, regal, and larger than life...
Her rendition of "My Country 'Tis of Thee,"
was wonderful...
That got me thinking...
If you were First Lady, what would you wear, Miz 'Mela Mac?
I came up with my own design, a little fashion fun-
Given all the resources a First Lady would have,
this is my Inauguration Outfit design:

Russian Sable, Cashmere, black Tahitian pearls, and alligator bag and shoes...
But my pièce de résistance,
is a little simplistic elegance from the past...
The violet corsage.
You bought me violets for my furs
And there was blue in the Wintry sky
You pinned the violets to my furs
And gave a lift to the crowds passing by
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then one thought occurs
That we fell in love completely
The day you bought me violets for my furs
Violets For Your Furs
Words & Music Tom Adair / Matt Dennis
'Till Next Time...
