3. The first thing that came to mind...

...when I saw her sitting in front of those shelves was a short story I read years ago titled "The Grey Ones" by J.B. Priestley. The story is about a guy who is talking to his therapist about how he suspects that the world is being taken over by a certain kind of person who sucks the life and joy and energy out of everything and everyone they come in contact with. I don't remember a lot of the details of the story but DeVos would have fit right into it, especially with this image. A true "grey one".

4. She's a blank page in the Book of Knowledge.

5. Are those grey canisters

on the shelf where she keeps her blackened heart and her burnt out soul?

6. Platinum encrusted toilet floats

As empty as her.

7. I can't stand to look at her smug stupid face.

[Grokenstein]

8. I don't see where the bats roost

but otherwise it might as well be the inside of her skull.

17. The picture was taken too close

The belfry is just above her head

9. So this is the backdrop the wife of a billionaire chooses

John Heilman’s place is easily the winner of the TV backdrops. He has several that are really impressive.

The flip side to DeVos is this guy

[BigmanPigman]

14. The fucking moron's own nickname for her is

Ditzy DeVos.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. She had better get fitted for a nomex suit for where she is going.....NC

19. Expected to at least see a bible. The Classics Illustrated Version...

Maybe she has it on Kindle.

[rusty quoin]

21. She is willing to put children in danger. There is no argument. She is dangerous.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. Are those silver things suppositories she uses to find her head?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. And those empty shelves

Are color coordinated and are so generically uncreative. Boring.

She has all that money and all she can do is boring.
