Fun fact about Teddy’s daughter Alice: her dad was approached by other powerful men who asked him to reign in her behavior and he responded that he could either run the country or control Alice but certainly not manage both. The public loved her and called her Princess Alice.
You may looove the book Hissing Cousins by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer. A dual biography of Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Alice Roosevelt. I'll never, ever, ever not love that ARL had a pet snake named Emily Spinach, a fun fact I learned while reading!
Rich people don't have any taste (even if they pay people to style them or decorate their houses or whatever) and they certainly don't keep people around them who are honest enough to tell them they look like shit. Thank you for taking on this labor!
Poorer people will be endlessly ridiculed for how we dress or decorate but then upper middle class & wealthy people will do the same thing & then it's trendy. Or making things from scratch & living simply, mandatory simplicity is sad, voluntary simplicity is celebrated.
Look at that moronic twat Trump and his tacky Oval Office. All those gold ornaments etc. Makes the place look like a cheap bordello, just like his flat in NYC and his tacky mansion in Florida. What happened to Sanchez’s face? Do all these women use the same plastic surgeon? So sad they feel they have to do this. Shades of Stepford wives!
Geez. Go back to your basement. In fact, after Trumps’ numerous visits to Europe & the Middle East, where he observed all of the World leaders decorated in a fashion that demonstrated wealth & power, he decided to add the gold, etc. to the WH at his own expense bc that is what other leaders respect. It’s the “art of the deal”, sweetheart. And if you think his wife is tacky, I can only surmise that you are so jealous & bitter that you can’t abide seeing someone gorgeous, tasteful, intelligent, accomplished, multi-lingual, beautifully mannered, & very kind. So … sucks to be you.
I’m very kind, multi-lingual, intelligent and accomplished. I am beautifully mannered but i don’t fawn to men, even rich ones. In fact, I could debate all many points in your response that I disagree with in four languages. I happen to think that Lauren has made a pastiche of herself to please a man and the media.
If Lauren was genuinely kind, she would be following McKenzie and distributing some of that insane wealth to support people who can’t afford the basics in life, instead of dangling on Jeff’s arm looking like a real live Barbie doll. And she’d be working with Jeff to revise his approach to business to ensure that the thousands of people who work in his companies for peanuts get paid a living wage, are given access to free healthcare, and paid vacation time.
Other world leaders don’t expect Trump to be a an addled old man distracted by glittery objects. Just look at Macron and Meloni having a whispered conversation about him at the G-7, or Starmer’s obvious confusion when Trump referred to him as prime minister of the EU.
Louis XVIII might have been impressed by the ridiculous clothes and the gold plating, but he ended up being deposed and decapitated.
Precisely! Given that horrid piece of legislation just passed, people are going to need healthcare, a living wage. And dignity. Trump seems intent on chipping away at that. All for the benefit of what, 82 people? 🤯
Trump was tacky in his gold finery long before he entered politics. I do think his wife is pretty, but I wish the poor dear would get some glasses, so she didn't have to squint so much. But as for her fashion taste, that went out the window when she wore her "I don't care, do you?" jacket, while her sugar daddy was busy separating thousands of migrant children from their parents and putting them in cages. Beauty is only skin deep. Ugly goes to the bone.
🥱News flash. The rest of us absolutely do not respect Trump. Some cheap gold tat on the walls doesn’t say “respect Trump”. It says he doesn’t have any taste whatsoever. But, of course, the MAGAs will believe anything.
Good grief MPLloyd, we all can tell by your language that misogyny is alive and well in your household. We will keep you on the list of MAGAs still blind, deaf, and living a dream, sweetheart.
She has wealth and she's flaunting it. Her job is to look hot. Literally. Not very classy, but she's not there to do that. She's eye candy. So, if that is her job, then job well done.
I see his relationship with his daughter Lisa more as a matter of maturity than taste. He was open with her and the world that he didn’t take responsibility when he should have. I was glad to hear she was with him when he died. From what I saw of his home and office, his ID sensibilities flowed from his approach to style and life in general. The Good Earth Catalogue was one of his greatest influences.
Jobs denied the paternity of his first born, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, for years. It's well known; this info is even on her Wiki page.
I have a friend who is an engineer at Apple (since 2006) and Jobs temper and abuse was notorious even outside Apple, documented in many biographies written about him.
Yuck. Just to clarify I wasn't trying to defend Jobs I just wasn't familiar. It doesn't surprise me tho I expect every mogul is going to be shitty to some degree.
The other thing about criticizing these two is they are deliberately making a spectacle of themselves. They are publishing these photos. They are obviously (look at those smirks) demanding that the public look upon their splendor and tremble before their majesty.
They are inviting a critique of their spectacle. So be it. You delivered what I think is a very measured and objective critique which is well-written and witty.This wedding orgy is meant to be and is understood by most as a power move. If we are to keep our wits about us in the new Gilded Age, we have got to cut the oligarchs down to size every time they command our attention.
One of the reasons I like a rich people trashing session is that my thought is always “with all that money, they should be able to pay someone to create and coordinate a style for her.” I wouldn’t say that she has a cohesive style, except tacky.
Unless having a 1800s cinched waist and showing off boobs is the Bezoz idea of style?
Do you think she has a rib removed to get that tiny waist?
I look at the cost of the wedding and I said...you know they could heal the sick, or enlighten people with art shared with the world, with just a fraction of that money ... I run a nonprofit and boy just 1% of it would float us for a long time...
It is Bezoz’s money, and he can spend it as he likes, but really this was so over-the-top. The stuff of self-parody. And they don’t have the wit to be embarrassed.
You have more tact than I do, not saying a word about her balloon tits or Kimberly Guilfoy lips. I’m convinced that the boobs are the size of Bezos’ head, and some very kinky stuff goes on in their bedroom. The lips kind of trouble me more. Kissing is such an erotic thing to do, and her lips give off a completely unkissable vibe. How can she possibly feel anything through all that filler?
Can't count the people I've thought this about lately. I always wonder how many of them lack the self-awareness to realize it, and how many are fully aware and welcome the comparison?
“Sale of Two Titties”. I saw that used in the 60’s fictional comedic book “Up the Down Staircase”. It was about teaching, among other things. I think “Sale..” was used in student graffiti about the stupid books they had to read, along with “Silly-Ass Marner”. (Silas Marner) and maybe one more I can’t recall.
I first heard it on an old “Pardon my Blooiper” record from the ‘50s. I’m counting on most people being younger than I am, and not remembering, so I could take credit for being clever…or silly 😂😂😂😂😂
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thought that. Although you have to give her credit she did add the hideous lampshade. But on the Scarlet side of the equation, at least her drapes did not die in vain, Scarlet looked good in her drapery dress, Mrs. Bezos, not so much.

Brb, diving face first down the Alice Roosevelt Longfellow rabbit hole...
Fun fact about Teddy - he didn’t like that nickname. He preferred Theodore.

No "shades" this is the real Stepford Wives. Even the part that she looks like a blow up doll , ans she chose to do so.

yes, a porn star as our first lady. nothing says 'class' quite like that.
Guess you arent losing healthcare or other basic needs from that bill that was just passed.
Where is your next stand-up gig? 😅😂🤣
Good grief MPLloyd, we all can tell by your language that misogyny is alive and well in your household. We will keep you on the list of MAGAs still blind, deaf, and living a dream, sweetheart.
rotfl
Sure, if trump were visiting gypsies 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is being facetious surely?
She has wealth and she's flaunting it. Her job is to look hot. Literally. Not very classy, but she's not there to do that. She's eye candy. So, if that is her job, then job well done.
Ah! Now look who can't abide seeing someone gorgeous (handsome), tasteful, intelligent, and accomplished.
Steve Jobs had good taste tho
He didn't have the "good taste" to recognize his first born daughter for years though, the least of his tyrannical character deficits.
He had some industrial design style, that's it.
I see his relationship with his daughter Lisa more as a matter of maturity than taste. He was open with her and the world that he didn’t take responsibility when he should have. I was glad to hear she was with him when he died. From what I saw of his home and office, his ID sensibilities flowed from his approach to style and life in general.

I think you're talking about Elon
Nope.

I have a friend who is an engineer at Apple (since 2006) and Jobs temper and abuse was notorious even outside Apple, documented in many biographies written about him.
Men who throw temper tantrums are "great visionaries with some quirks", women are bitchy, hysterical or unhinged...
Yuck. Just to clarify I wasn't trying to defend Jobs I just wasn't familiar. It doesn't surprise me tho I expect every mogul is going to be shitty to some degree.
The entire Apple esthetic is about good taste.
‘Had,’ is the operative word.
😂 Thanks for being honest. lol

Reminded of Fran Lebowitz's comment when asked if she would ever have plastic surgery: "No I prefer to look like an earthling".
That’s hilarious, as is Mrs. Bozos’ facial reorganization. Did she give the surgeon a photo of Jim Carrey in The Mask and say, “I want this”?
🤣🤣🤣
“She manages to convey both skank and frump at once.” 👏
I’m already exhausted with seeing Lauren Sanchez’s boobs. Make it stop. They are frightening.
A+ for the phrase, “a certain dull sleaze,”
One of the reasons I like a rich people trashing session is that my thought is always “with all that money, they should be able to pay someone to create and coordinate a style for her.” I wouldn’t say that she has a cohesive style, except tacky.

I know. It is sickening.
It is Bezoz’s money, and he can spend it as he likes, but really this was so over-the-top. The stuff of self-parody. And they don’t have the wit to be embarrassed.
no they may not "spend it as they like".
they fork it over or they get a guillotine.
simple as that
I can not wait for the next episode of SNL. They are going to have a field day with this wedding.
This is done by his ex wife. She just donated 19 billion dollars to all kind of charities.
Absolutely believe she had ribs removed & how sad is that???
Right? It is way past sad all the way to creepy.
I believe it is.
I wonder if bezos got a plastic repair kit and a portable air pump in case parts of Sanchez deflates.
🤭 of course he did and he bought it on Amazon.
Hilarious!!! Thank you
😂😂😂

Blech.
Yet another proof point for what my uncle always said: Money can’t buy you taste.
Agreed! When you pay to look like trash, and you’re a trash human, we can totally call you on all of it.
She’s very Hunger Games
Can't count the people I've thought this about lately. I always wonder how many of them lack the self-awareness to realize it, and how many are fully aware and welcome the comparison?
You had me at Rich People Studies.
Sale of Two Titties…apologies to Dickens, but: he knew a hypocrite when he saw one!

Omg. All that money and she stole Scarlett OHara’s desperate drapes fashion ploy.
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thought that. Although you have to give her credit she did add the hideous lampshade. But on the Scarlet side of the equation, at least her drapes did not die in vain, Scarlet looked good in her drapery dress, Mrs. Bezos, not so much.
