Melania Trumps 'snakeskin pointed-toe pumps $1,272" that she wore today.....

I was just curious how much money her clothes cost today.

I do not bother to look up the other items the article discussed.





'snakeskin pointed-toe pumps $1,272 Import duties included'

........Despite the recent turmoil, what is King Charles' first Stateside visit since his ascension will have its share of pageantry and photo-ops. After the tea, they were scheduled to tour the newly expanded White House beehive on the South Lawn and then attend a garden party at the British Embassy. On Tuesday, King Charles will address the joint session of U.S. Congress, and a state dinner will be held in his honor in the evening.

For today's events, Melania Trump chose a buttercream-colored double-breasted wool crepe suit from Adam Lippes with Manolo Blahnik snakeskin pumps. Lippes also created the navy and white silk wool coat and pencil skirt that FLOTUS wore for last year's presidential inauguration. Unlike at her husband's second swearing-in ceremony, Trump went hatless to greet Their Majesties.



At Saturday's dinner, FLOTUS, who was rushed out of the ballroom by Secret Service agents with other officials, wore a black tuxedo gown from Dolce & Gabbana. ..............

... low humidity day), got 3rd degree burns on his upper body. His eyelids burnt off, the surgeons used his foreskin to make new eyelids. He said that the treatment was very rough. One bad night a nurse had given him a hug and told him it was OK to cry. He said he didn't know if he crying on her shoulder or pissing down her back.

Tough guy, for an interior decorator.

'He said he didn't know if he (was) crying on her shoulder or pissing down her back.'

Did you know him, or was this passed down? What a sense of humor!

... he had an interesting life, crewing on racing yachts around Greece and the Aegean, arms inspector for the US Army, an artist in oils, had the first sports car I ever rode in - it didn't come with a horn so he mounted an air-horn on the dash, was an interior decorator. Built an addition on my Great Grandparent's home for a large new kitchen, doing 90% of the work himself. All the cousins loved him.

The burn scars on his chest reflected the chain stitch sweater he was wearing.

He passed in Arizona, where my folk lived, around '98.

They will never begrudge the Trumps their luxury goods or their grifts. They've earned them, they believe.

The PhD in microbiology who studied viruses for 25 years is definitely not their better on matters of disease, but the Red Sparrow is their better in society.

Clowns. These people are monarchists at heart.

The Trump's expanded it, but likely will not credit Michelle for first establishing it and the custom of giving White House honey.

There's a price for wearing heels that high and having one's toes pushed inward.
