I know I am going to regret bringing this to people's attention. It is still fresh in my memory how a plan to make jabots in special presentation boxes to be presented to Supreme Court Justices, possibly on the stairs of the Supreme Court, the first Monday in October, fell into oblivion some years ago. At the time, I think the plan was "overbroad" to use Supreme Court terms, in that handmade jabots were to be presented to all the Supreme Court judges, including the men. In the end, those who were to make the jabots didn't want to put in the time if they were not going to be accepted. Other voices felt that a beautiful jabot, fait accompli, in a lovely presentation box would be the best way to go, as inquiries to the Supreme Court as to whether they would like hand made jabots might well result in a polite "no thank you". However, here is a picture of retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor in a lovely lace scarf, a particular innovation of hers. Also pictured is Ruth Ginsburg in a less appealing circular collar. Perhaps it is the case that we will soon have another female Supreme Court judge, making for 2 out of 9. Last count 51% of those affected by their decisions, are women, yet strangely, women are such a minority on the court that a lace initiative aimed at them, might actually be within the realm of something that could be achieved in a single court session. I suppose if the current nominee were passed, one might appeal to her as to whether a special lace collar would be accepted, and she in her happiness at her approval, might agree. Let me make it perfectly clear that I do not want to spearhead this movement, as I already have too many things on my agenda. However, here is an interesting piece on the attire of the Supreme Court, especially the "anything goes" attitude of the female justices. _http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/27/supreme-court-style-whos_n_208159. html_ (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/27/supreme-court-style-whos_n_208159.html) Sincerely, Devon **************Cooking Dinner For Two?
