A Deployed throat

Was Madam’s joke very good or does Valérie Pécresse make crates of it in front of the objectives? Saturday, August 28, the president of the Ile-de-France region, declared presidential candidate, launched her campaign. In Brive-la-Gaillarde, old stronghold of Jacques Chirac, she called for the holding of a primary on the right, laid down the outline of its program and tried to mark its difference with the favorite, Xavier Bertrand, all this without forgetting to laugh loudly, very loudly at jokes of its supporters. Obviously very good. Especially when the photographers are around.

The decorative effect

If Valérie Pécresse was in a laughing mood, her outfit was nothing very funny. To be honest, her only interest lay in the presence of the ribbon of the Legion of Honor awarded by Nicolas Sarkozy in 2019. In this case, Valérie Pécresse wore a so-called “female” ribbon here. Why “feminine”? Because this ribbon, unlike classic ribbons that can only be stuck on the lapel of a jacket, is equipped with a fastening system allowing it to be attached to all types of clothing, especially sweaters or sweaters. blouses.

Glasses in sight

That day, this collaborator of Valérie Pécresse was also confronted with a difficult problem of hook. In fact, where to put your sunglasses when you don’t have them on your nose? Rather than wedging them in her hair or wearing them as a long necklace hung on a chain, he had opted for the equally condemnable technique of wedging in the neckline. The solution ? Replace this pocketless shirt with a pocket model and store your glasses in it. Obviously.

Bengal tiger

Since we are talking about a shirt, let’s also mention the one worn by the man behind it. This is indeed crossed by thin sky blue stripes, in this case so-called “Bengal” stripes. Appeared in India, in the region of Bengal, in the 17th centurye century, these elegant stripes were then the prerogative of the Bengal Lancers, a regiment of the Indian army, then under the control of the British.

The political fiber

The presence of this wicker basket, displayed by a supporter of Valérie Pécresse, forces us to end with an anecdote passed down to posterity. It was Jane Birkin who was the first to turn the wicker basket into a full-fledged handbag. From the mid-1960s to the end of the 1970s, the singer and actress never went out without her model bought in a market in Portugal. The story ended when Jacques Doillon, her husband at the time, exasperated by this accessory, voluntarily ended up driving over it in a car. For once, a bad joke.
