I believe the real reason he skipped the ceremony was because of his hair. No way could that cotton candy stuff stand up to sustained drizzle.

[mobeau69]

1. It's a fucking mess

just like our country.

[Siwsan]

2. I found a whole stash of those when I cleaned out my mom and my aunt's belongings

Some still folded up in those little plastic cases. I don't think EITHER of them ever went out without one of those in their purse.

[Demovictory9]

6. had one in my glove compartment years ago. Tossed it. It was required

like wearing stockings

[hlthe2b]

3. Oh, boy... I think my Mom may have had one of those...

I'd rather be wet, myself, but...

[Demovictory9]

4. when you got your hair "done" and sprayed with aquanet, needed to protect hairstyle

from water, mist, wind.

[Lindsay]

5. We had the fold-up kind

that was easy to stash in your purse (or, depending on how old you were and/or where you were from, your pocketbook).

[Demovictory9]

8. that's a nice simple one

[Kittycow]

26. That's the kind I had. For years, starting as a child.

[PatSeg]

49. Some grocery stores gave out

complimentary ones when it rained.

[StarryNite]

58. Oh, my gosh!

I remember those! You'd pull on the ties to make them fold back up in a snap!

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. One of these would have saved us from Trump.

9. yikes

[underpants]

15. Samuel L. Jackson called him a "busted condom"

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. Thanks. That's a good one.

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. My grandmothers had those.

[GoCubsGo]

11. There's no reason he couldn't wear a hat.

I guess his headbeast doesn't like anything on it, anymore than it likes getting wet.

[Demovictory9]

13. he'd be the only one wearing one. They probably had high level logistical discussions

about how to handle his hair issue.

[murielm99]

16. I agree.

We were just discussing that here.

What would be wrong with a fedora or some other head covering? I wear a hat most of the time, just because I like hats.

[GoCubsGo]

22. Perhaps they were actually more worried about his spray tan running off?

I have seen various people point that out since posting. I could be a huge mess. Might get rid of those ridiculous reverse raccoon eyes of his. What a fucking clown.

[Blue_true]

24. Him being exposed to a steady light rain.

Would cause his spray tan to smear and that thing on his head to run around, making him look like Heath Ledger's version of the joker.

[mr_lebowski]

40. No, it wouldn't. Spray tan is a dye ... it doesn't run once dry ... it's not like makeup ...

[Hekate]

41. True, but he himself might be more afraid of melting like the witch in Oz. nt

[PatSeg]

50. Actually there is no reason why he

can't get a relatively normal haircut.

[GoCubsGo]

56. Or stop wearing that clownish spray tan.

I think that's actually the REAL reason he wouldn't risk going out in the rain.

[PatSeg]

57. True

Between the shellacked hair and fake tan, too much time in the rain could be Trump's worst nightmare. Would be fun to watch though.

[treestar]

12. Couldn't he just pick up the umbrella he left outside AF1?

[underpants]

17. Good one. Trump and his umbrellas

?fit=1029%2C689&ssl=1

%3Fw%3D2000&w=700&c=sc&poi=face&q=85

[treestar]

18. LOL. And can they not afford separate umbrellas for

Melodrama and Barron, since Orangefuhrer does not share?

[underpants]

19. That's on them

He's got his and that's all he cares about.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. She is so sickening...bet she just loved the idea of

going to France ...and the fashion...and the thought of the French prez going gaga over her. Meanwhile...real human beings are suffering at home in California. Let them eat cake.

[Corvo Bianco]

14. He'd look stunning in that.

[applegrove]

20. My grandmother and her sister wore those. I think we had a rain

hat in the top drawer of the coat closet till my parents moved out of the house in the aughts. Women used to carry them folded up in their purses.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. The naughts??? 2000's ?

[applegrove]

38. Yes. Are they not called the naughts?

[JNelson6563]

51. Maybe "aughts"?

[applegrove]

52. Oh my. I do have dyslexia. Thanks for correcting me. And i mean thanks.

I could have gone on for years like that.

[JNelson6563]

53. My pleasure.

[libdem4life]

23. I was thinking more along the lines of the Handmaiden's Bonnet.

[eleny]

25. Back in NYC I carried one in my pocketbook every day

..... .....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. What? Grew up in CT and never saw such a thing.

[eleny]

31. I'm surprised

We all had them. I didn't always carry an umbrella, though. When storms hit, guys selling umbrellas would pop up like mushrooms. That was mostly in big office or shopping districts. You could always pick up one real cheap.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Ya !!! How envious I am that you got to be there. It

was a train ride in .but I always thought.. some day I would live in NYC. Back then, we would go even at 13 and it was so exciting. At like 16,? we would come in and they would serve us at the bar in Grand Central..Rusty Nails...gross now. Do you still live in NYC? Been everywhere since then ...still greatest city on earth!!

[eleny]

37. Born in Bklyn raised in Queens and left for Colorado at 30

Been here in CO ever since. I took it for granted that I could drive into Manhattan, park my VW and walk to the big museums or shop in Chinatown on a Saturday morning. It was great.

But when city finances were going belly up in the mid 70s I left for greener pastures out here. It was a good decision but I still miss the ocean. I grew up like 10 minutes from the beaches - sigh.

Rusty Nails at Grand Central! It was easy to get served with fake id in local bars but if I'd known about Grand Central! Those were the days.

I remember taking the el train into the city at 13, too, but from Queens. These days, I don't know.

[Demovictory9]

43. yes. all women carried them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. What??? Have never seen such a thing. BUT thinking of

ways to irk him into his crazy. That would work. How to push his buttons ? Sorry Michelle...
Not going low ...just playing the middle.

[madaboutharry]

30. Those were the days when women went to the Beauty Parlor once a week.

They would have their hair set in rollers and teased into stylish hairdos. Hair was a high maintenance thing back then.

[Ohiogal]

33. LOL

Exactly right. My grandmother wore those things.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Ya...but it would last a week somehow. My mom

had a special hairnet thingie to preserve it. But you had it done to look good at church.

[The Genealogist]

34. My grandmother wore those all the time

She even wore them sometimes when it wasn't raining, though usually it was one of those thin filmy headscarves. Not sure what those are made of, some kind of meshy sythetic material. Oh well, she didn't leave the house without a headscarf or a rain bonnet. Donald Trump would look like even more of an idiot with one of those old rain bonnets.

[Demovictory9]

45. hairstyles set with curlers are fragile. Very freeing when those styles went out of fashion

[The Genealogist]

54. She also had to wear one because of those rinses they used

She used a silver rinse on her hair. It had to stay dry, or the coloring would come out. Heh, they used one of those rinses on her hair once, that came out that stereotypical blue, and she had a fit about it.

[Demovictory9]

59. silver, blue or lavender

[Sunriser13]

39. Solution right here, from June, 2017

Our own rurallib already had the answer to his dilemma...



https://www.democraticunderground.com/1018962327

[Demovictory9]

47. lol

[Dirty Socialist]

42. A MAGA hat!

Fuck, he could have even worn a MAGA hat to the ceremony. It would have been better than not showing up at all!

[Demovictory9]

44. agreed.

[greyl]

46. He was doing some wrong shit instead, guaranteed . nt

[Cha]

48. I use an umbrella.. couldn't Fraud find

one in all of France?

[BumRushDaShow]

55. Women carried those "pocket" bonnets but men always used to use a newspaper

as their rain gear!



(but when one doesn't "read"... well... )

[Demovictory9]

60. true

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

61. He already has "Mrs. Doubtfire" hair. This would compliment it just right. nt
