"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Burrell, I wonder if you might have seen it with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Martin Ginsburg. I don't really know what his political stances were, but the speech she gave this summer that he had written [link] seems to indicate that he, as tax attorney, was at least better suited to certain types of work, while she was better suited (more willing) to challenge things like dependent care deductions.

Don't know how much one would deduce from that.

OH! Maybe Margaret Thatcher and her husband could be another example?

I realize I'm sort of going the way other direction -- looking for liberal women in power (or conservative women in power) with a spouse that is in a different place on the spectrum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not that they're in definite areas of power, but Prince Dickhead can always be relied on to say something Queen Elizabeth would never mention publically.

What's the rotation for woman's office clothes? Two weeks? More if it's a really obvious piece? One week for a guy, two if it stands out?

I guess it might depend, ita, if you are talking suit or separates.

Do you think an average suit has a shorter rotation? But I think men have more of those, and women may even stand out for their suit more.

Burrell--I deleted your and my comments in Press. I was guilty of not paying attention where I was posting.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh it all counts, I suppose. I didn't realize Thatcher's husband was to the left of Maggie. I was just thinking in the Matalin case that she had staked out her own political career and voice before they married, didn't she?

ita, yes. I do think it has a shorter rotation.

What do I know? I am wearing the same pair of jeans tomorrow to a work thing that I wore today. Too Damn Bad.
