Anything Goes December

Darling Lili / Julie Andrews as Lili Smith/Schmidt

This dress evokes the right lines for World War I, when the movie takes place. I doubt the material is period-appropriate, but I'm open to being corrected if someone knows more about it than I do. At least it appears to be a housedress, almost a glorified robe--Lili wears it when at home with a cold, and she wears a different costume later when she goes out. So I guess the chenille-like texture is possible, but it still seems unlikely. I do like the contrast between the soft gold and the satiny black trim, however.

Trump’s first-week strategy: ‘Flood the zone.’ Repeat.

It was all part of a plan to begin with a bang and follow a detailed policy blueprint, although key administrative posts remained stuck in a hiring bottleneck and many of his directives lacked immediate effect.

“This was a vast effort to think through the executive actions. We’ve had four years, and this is what you see.”

—Steve Bannon

A known white nationalist was behind most of Trump's executive orders.

According to the above Washington Post article:

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller led policy preparations during the transition and personally drafted or coordinated most of the executive orders Trump signed Monday evening, according to White House officials. Miller did not respond to requests for comment. [emphasis added]

Trump's Project 2025 lie enabled him to be elected.

It is now abundantly clear that Trump was elected fraudulently because he lied about his knowledge of, association with, and even his attitude towards Project 2025. If it were not for that lie, there is a good chance that those on the fence who finally decided to vote for Trump would not have done so.

According to The Washington Post:

Many of the [White House] actions overlapped detailed preparations by right-wing think tanks, including the policy blueprint Project 2025. Out of 52 presidential directives (excluding pardons and appointments) that Trump signed by Friday, 28 contained language resembling text published as part of Project 2025, according to a Washington Post analysis. They include withdrawing from the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accord. Trump rescinded a Biden administration executive order creating a gender-focused advisory council and a 1965 executive order on contracting discrimination that were specifically identified in Project 2025. [emphasis added] Similarly, the new administration started firing senior civil servants citing career officials using a legal theory gaining popularity among right-wing lawyers and advocated in Project 2025. The firing notices cited the president’s inherent power under the U.S. Constitution rather than any specific legal authority. [emphasis added]

Russel Vought's Center for Renewing America, and Brooke Rollins's America First Policy Institute also guided the design of Trump's policy agenda.

According to The Washington Post:

“It’s called Project 2025, but it’s bigger than that,” [Steve] Bannon said, crediting Miller for the ambitious policy agenda along with budget director nominee Russell Vought’s Center for Renewing America and agriculture secretary nominee Brooke Rollins’s America First Policy Institute. “This was a vast effort to think through the executive actions. We’ve had four years, and this is what you see.” [emphasis added]

October: Black Redux

Darling Lili / Julie Andrews as Lili Smith/Schmidt

This is the costume Lili wears for her opening performance of "Whistling Away the Dark." The black dress is meant to blend with the backdrop, and the song opens with a tight spotlight on just her head and shoulders, making it look as if her head and the sparkly collar are floating in midair. Later, the spotlight pulls back to include the rest of her gown, picking out the silver designs around the cuffs and skirt as well. It's pretty magical, and the song is beautiful too.
