The Daily Mail devotes several articles to the array of outfits The Two Trumps wore, extending from the inauguration to the prayer service at the National Cathedral. The Ralph Lauren company might have to produce a whole new line of clothes in various hues of blue. Fashion designers favored by Melania and Ivanka Trump have already arrived in the Promised Land of an administration with independent wealth. There are no budget constraints.

If you were going to work or to a meeting, did you give some thought to your clothing choices (of course, you may be sitting at your computer in your pajamas with no outside appointments today, and if so, I understand). It''s also in the minutiae of how you communicate through e-mail and other mediums. And it''s how you leave voice mail messages for people you want to call you back. Last week, there was an e-mail in my inbox with the subject line, "Hello."

He died of multiple bullet wounds fired when he was outside his clothing store in Los Angeles. Before he had been gunned down he tweeted that having many enemies is a blessing Here are more details from the Daily Mail.  Each high-powered profession has its occupational hazards. In the world of rap, there's the danger of being gunned down. The murder of Tupac Shakur long symbolized that.

Are your e-mails full of typos? Are your voice mail messages missing important information -- like your phone number? Are you not clueing in to how your clients and prospects are dressed, and wearing the wrong clothes to meetings and presentations? Would you hire this handyman? This is my slightly-too-artful re-creation of a sign on a truck I drove by on Tuesday. I have to say, it was really hard to make my lettering look as bad as his, and it doesn't.

I'm going to start this post with the shocking lack of attention I see every day to professional image: clothes that don't fit; an e-mail full of typos; disheveled hair; a website that looks like it was built by a 5-year-old; a voice mail message spoken so fast, I can't understand the phone number; a week or more response time to a phone message. Do your clothes fit properly ? All with a shift in the color and shape of their clothing, makeup and hair.

Just like styles in clothing and hair-dos, tactics in marketing communications keep changing. For two years, for a premium dating service what was effective were e-mail blasts of newsletters, ads in publications reaching the target markets, and flash sales. The pitch letter, email blast, blog, or website landing page which had been effective yesterday may get no response today.

If you're a speaker trying to spread the word about your cause, your service, or your product, only half-reading e-mails or half-listening to instructions is going to cause you problems. Maybe you'll show up late, wearing the wrong clothes, with the wrong presentation for the wrong audience! When it takes five e-mails to accomplish what one could do, or five phone conversations to get what they want from you, you have become difficult.

"  - Daily Mail, April 11, 2016. It was appalling to find out during the two trials of former Vanderbilt football player, Cory Batey, that a partially clothed unconscious female was in the dorm corridor. "Body parts that were packaged in plastic bags and thrown into a recycling bin in Seattle this weekend belong to the mother of three [Ingrid Lyne] who disappeared after she went on a date with a man [John Robert Chariton] she met online."

Here are more details from the Daily Mail. Just like the old days, shop for furniture, clothes, and even gifts for friends in thrift stores. The Stamford, Connecticut police are connecting the dots this way - at least for now. Resident of that upscale suburb - Allen Claxton - had been laid off as a tech consultant. He was 75. He and his wife owned a nearly one-million-dollar house in Stamford and another in England. The latter was up for sale.

They were waxing nostalgic about the former head of publications Jim Mooney.

This is not only grossly misleading, but also increases the normal anxieties of speech-making with a catalogue of extra things to worry about, like stance, gesture, movement and even what colour clothes to wear. But, as he pointed out to me in an e-mail, the research on which it was based dates from more than a decade before that, and was actually concerned with feelings and attitudes: “This work of mine has received considerable attention in the literature.

Like your clothes, they provide context and framing for your message. I keep saying this , but here it is again: clothes are costumes, and costumes are powerful symbols. Whether you’re speaking to six of your colleagues or 600 strangers, your clothes matter. People are looking at you for a while–even if they don’t process your clothes consciously, they’ll do so in the background cycles of their brain.
