Tomorrow, I am wearing white -- are you?

In honor of the Suffragettes, who fought so hard, who were imprisoned and tortured and mocked so that women could get the right to vote.

The right to vote in 2016 for the first woman President of the United States.

with the "chic Hillary scarf" that I bought on the website. It's chiffon with multiple Hillary "H" logos in different sizes in the official colors of the suffragist movement, green, blue, and purple.

For the JAVITS CENTER TOMORROW NIGHT (my husband and I have confirmed reservations), I'll be wearing a Hillary tee shirt. My husband will be wearing the same Hillary button and FDNY hoodie that drew the ire of one of the deplorables at a middle school football game.
