Yeah, I was one of the 250,000 who marched downtown Chicago on a sunny, 60 degree day.
those multi-colored teeny dots are people, people!

~ see? ~ |

~ 300+ acres nestled between Lake Michigan and Downtown Chicago ~ |
The 50,000 that were expected soon grew 3x that and the march part was cancelled. Apparently no one told the participants, or, they didn't care. People started leaving the park and took to the streets and the original march route.

~ only the L was moving, the buses and cars were stopped in their tracks ~ |

You wear that pink hat so well!
ReplyDeleteAmazing turnout! Never underestimate the power of women.
Tell it like it is, sister.
DeleteNow they've pissed off Grandma! Woman power is power for everyone. You go. Just got my pink hat today, too late for the marches but I intend to wear it all month. xox

ReplyDeleteHey! I found older Project Minima pics through googling about my current obsession - Tina Givens-esque and L'atelier des Ours clothing. Glad to see you're still making and posting!
The PussyHats are reminiscent of Schiaparelli's little rectangular knit hats, I forget what they're called. And of course 'shocking pink' was her signature color. Yours looks great, love it!
I'm in Chicago too...wasn't the weather on Saturday crazy-gorgeous?! Thanks for reporting on the march and for the great pics!

Hi Lisa, Yeah, I'm still here doing my thing.
DeleteI've heard the Schiaparelli reference, but haven't seen the original.
I know, the goddess was with us here in Chicago Saturday. The weather was wonderful for just that day.
So do you have a blog so I can see your current obsession of clothing?
Hey Valerie, It's never to late to join the women's movement for human rights.
ReplyDeleteChicago had a tremendous turnout for the march. I'm so proud of all the people who took to the streets to channel their anger and frustration into something positive and empowering.
ReplyDeleteYes, it felt good to be there with all the others moving toward a similar goal. Much better than being in isolation and feeling powerless, for sure!
DeleteYES!!!
ReplyDeleteI was in DC!
The solidarity is friggin awesome. Now to write letters. The "comment' line at the WH is shut down.
Virtual high five, Carol S. What a surprise about the WH comment line. Not.
DeleteOne can only image what his twittering will be about this march. His first press conference after the inauguration announced he had more people in the Mall than Obama did! Have you see the pix? Chicago had more people attend the Women's March than attend his thing. That's the beginning of the official WH fake news.
Hey, what's you blog address, if I haven't asked before?
BRAVO!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei´m in awe how much women/people joined the march! this is so gorgeous! (i fear here it would´t be like that....)

Yes it felt good to be involved. Who knows where it will go...
DeleteThe power of women coming together all across the country for the Women’s March was simply amazing! Your hat is a great statement piece, plus it looks soft and cozy! Thank you for sharing with Hat Attack!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Hat Attack, Judith. It's not often I can participate since I'm usually hatless. But I was ready this time.
DeleteWay to go, ladies.That's utterly brilliant. I wonder what the orange tw*t thought of it all.
ReplyDeleteLooking stylish and fabulous. xxx
I doubt if he thinks...
DeleteI am way up in the Canadian woods so I couldn't march but I did make a donation to the Women's March on Washington. Thanks to all who marched for me. Hope as many women decide to strike on March 8th.
ReplyDeleteHope, March, Resist.
