John Adams Trapped in the Wardrobe Department


Adams is finally in wardrobe, but he's been grumbling that he's had to wait first for Mrs. Washington and now for Bella Donna (as I've named her skeleton-ness). Here's a picture of him in progress. One sleeve is done but not the other. His breeches look like the incredible hulk, his waistcoat needs tailoring, his stockings need painting and his shoes need buckles. And what about a coat and a cloak? And that hair? Something must be done about that hair!

Yesterday, he was overheard saying: "One useless man is a shame, two is a law firm and more than three is a congress."

I suppose sitting around the wardrobe department reminds him of presiding over the congress as Washington's vice president, an endeavor he called the most pointless job ever invented) or something like that.
