Well, it runs in the family.

They get invited to the palace for a freakin’ State Dinner with the Queen of England, and Ivanka breezes in wearing a glorified coat dress. Looked like a full-length blue house coat with short sleeves.

Everybody else is in ball gowns, honey. You look like you just threw on a bathrobe because you had to run get the doorbell.

And she’s a professional fashionista? Sheeeeeeesh how far we’ve fallen!

It reminds me of something Jacqueline Susann said about fellow author Philip Roth.

They were contemporaries in the best-seller fiction world back in the 60s and 70s. He wrote “Portnoy’s Complaint” (whose protagonist reveled in his discovery of - shall we say “self-pleasurement”). It was a huge hit and became a movie.

Susann was also a successful author of the sex-and-drugs hit novel “Valley of the Dolls” that also spawned a hit movie. She was asked about her friendly competitor and said she would be happy to meet him, but added “I just wouldn’t want to shake hands with him”!

I hope you're writing and calling your reps about that.

No justice, no peace for our Reps who don’t want to move in this. They’re gonna have to be led. Arm-twisted. Force-fed. Strong-armed. Dragged kid cling and screaming into the light.

Vassal smiles at his great benefactor.

We've heard more than a few women making the same accusation.

When I first read your post, Siwsan, I unconsciously mumbled “eeeuuuuuww!”

But then again, every time I see a photo of him where his hands are visible, my automatic reaction is “eeeuuuuuww!” The very reminder of what he thinks those hands of his are entitled to do - ICK!!!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
