Get ready for Seersucker Thursday!
It's rare that my obsession with fashion cults collides with my interest in legislative politics. Even rarer do I find occasion to agree with Trent Lott about something. But here it is:
"In the late 1990s, Mississippi Senator Trent Lott decided the time had come to revive a long-forgotten Senate sartorial tradition. He selected a “nice and warm” day in the second or third week of June to be designated Seersucker Thursday. "
Women Senators started participating in Seersucker Thursday in 2004, through the leadership of Dianne Feinstein.
"Seersucker is the South's fashion gift to the nation," said a Lott spokesman in 2007.
Well played: Ben Nelson, Dianne Feinstein and Trent Lott. Try again: Olympia Snowe (black?!?!?! stockings!?!?), and Norm Coleman in his clown suit.
Seersucker Thursday is usually the second or third Thursday in June, but I don't think they announce it until the day before. For some reason I have a note that it will be June 11. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I am still looking for a pair of seersucker pants that fits properly. I believe I've been looking for a least a decade--casually, of course. I'm going to go out on limb and say that I won't have a "my costume" for June 11th.
