My friend Tracy emailed me this awesomeness.
I was going to put a caption under each photo,
(these write themselves, people)
but just letting you scroll down is much more effective.
Curious to know at which point you say, "OMG!"
Ok, can't resist a few notes.
One of her purses seems to have survived from the Nixon administration to the Clinton era...maybe she's not so different from us commoners after all.
Where's LBJ?, I asked. Google tells me they never met; why not is the subject of some boring conjecture.
Re the Reagan photo. Either Ronnie thought he was at a Dean Martin roast, or he just couldn't hide his true feelings about that dress.
Discuss.
apparently being a queen totally trumps being a president... how many has she outlasted so far?? oddly she has a different expression with each one... no comment on reagan. as a side note I get all sorts of thrill by her husband being her 'consort' and not the 'king'....
ReplyDeleteI felt so bad that she had to be so "dressed" during the heatwave. Poor dear.
ReplyDeleteI know I haven't been around in a while but make sure you stop by and enter my giveaway. It's a real goodie. A $70.00 gift certificate to use at ANY of the over 200 CSN stores!

Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI especially love how she looks with George H. W. Bush and with Richard Nixon. Most of these Presidents knew how to observe protocol and let the lady's quiet beauty shine. A gentleman knows it's not all about "him" grinning like a Cheshire cat.
She's wearing that ratty old tiara in a few photos too. How embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting series. Sharp eye on the handbag; The Queen knows how to take care of her stuff. I said OMG when we get to Eisenhower. She has seen it all.
