Mayor Michael Bloomberg has long campaigned for the fashion industry through organizations like Fashion’s Night Out and the CFDA. And now it seems as if all that fashion do-gooding has panned out—it’s won him the cover of the eco-friendly May edition of L’Uomo Vogue, Italian Vogue’s magazine for men. For the event, the New York City mayor and C40 Climate Leadership Group president was photographed by Italian photographer Francesco Carrozzini in a conservative though spiffy dark suit and striped tie.

It’s our only hope.
There’s no way given the demographic tides that we can win a 2-way for POTUS.
It’s likely a moot point anyway because I expect Hillary! to be the D candidate, and the Clintons are way tight with Bloomie. No way he’d torpedo them.
