Politics au 🤌

Not only the wives luncheon, Vale realizes Marc is even more effective in galas & charities. Campaigns & hosting. He smiles half the floor is smitten. Vale deals with the other half with his silver tongue.

Vale was already a powerhouse but with his little arm candy he is unstoppable

YESS YOU SAW THE VISION OH MY GOD and basically an alternate spin to this where marc ended up interviewing vale and vale won and they got married a couple months after vale got sworn in and marc retired as a journalist to focus on his duty as wife of politician AND helped vale pull the strings on the background BASICALLY DOING VALE’S DIRTY WORKS but with more charms and wiles and etc…. basically the jfk and jackie of our generation but better and marc is jackie if jackie was ever interested in politics……..

Original caption: “Hot Singer, Lena Horne, Has Audience Jumping With Her Singing at Hollywood Victory Committee Show” Ft. Huachuca, AZ, 9/6/1942, NARA ID 266694436.

Broadway First: Theater Named for LENA HORNE! First NYC theater named for a Black woman honors legend By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

Civil Rights activist, singer, actress, and dancer Lena Horne (1917–2010) broke racial barriers and achieved many “firsts” including being the first Black performer hired to sing with a major white band, play the Copacabana nightclub, and sign a Hollywood contract. This week she (posthumously) achieved another milestone when Broadway’s Atkinson Theatre was renamed The Lena Horne Theatre. She features prominently in our records: supporting the troops in World War II, meeting with presidents, and marching on Washington.

Video: Lena Horne Christens the USS George Washington Carver, Richmond, CA, 5/17/1943, NARA ID 77813.

SPOTTED: One of my favorite times of the year -- Kiss on the Lips.

Apparently, the Ghost of Fiance's Past couldn't resist the party, either. While I'm certainly happy to see Elliott Jonsson's return to the land of the living, I know my sentiment isn't shared by all. As a true gentleman, his first stop post-JFK was to seek out Miss Left at the Altar 2022, Brie Barlow. Public humiliation seems to be a turn on for these two. Most would have expected a tight lipped reunion and a quiet threat of annihilation -- Brie's welcome home gift to Elliott was a red mark across her ex's cheek, curtesy of her palm. Romantic!

The night doesn't end there for our fallen prince just yet -- My sources confirmed that after being all but physically tossed out on his ass by security, Elliott was spotted trying to reconnect with yet another Park Ave Princess -- Vienna Miller. The latter has come quite a ways from who she was last time I wrote about her, but do I sense there's something more to this "reunion"? Meeting your best friend's ex in the dark isn't exactly Girl Code.

But then again, neither is taking home your best friend's brother, either. Now I, for one, hadn't expected Brie's next conquest to be Gabe Miller, front man of the Midnight Mystics -- After their brief fling over the holidays, I assumed this was merely a lapse in judgment. Regardless, the musician was spotted making his way into Brie's town car soon after her. It's good to know Gabe still has time for groupies. I suppose if you're going to choose which one of your ex's to go home with -- Go for the one who already has a hotel room.

Speaking of exes, Nova Watson made an appearance -- And as always, let us know just how small her bank account is. While I can commend her Faux Fendi Replica, a knock off is still a knock off. Unfortunately, with Colette Arsine choosing the Maldives over Dumbo, Nova was left without anyone to fight her battles for her. My sources report she held her own while verballing sparing against Celebutauntes and Instagram Girl Wannabes -- One would almost think she was born and raised on the Upper East Side. She keeps showing up there, after all, despite claiming to wear the Outsider badge with pride.

Thankfully, our Ivy League Empress traded Yacht Clubs for Galas at the MET -- Indiya Du Pont has returned to her roots, not missing a beat in verbally eviscerating any one who ends up in her line of fire. I suppose some things never change. I can't wait to see what devastation she causes next.

Perhaps the Psuedo-Kennedy, Nalin Renaud? She's played political peacemaker for far too long -- It's the only reason I can find for her not causing a scene after having a drink poured on her. Maybe Gabe is more like the rest of us than I anticipated. Maybe Nalin has lost her edge. Her family may want a her to be the next Hillary, everyone knows politics are rife with one thing: Scandal. It's only a matter of time before she follows in the foot steps of our Role Model -- And Nalin's former best friend, as reported by my sources -- Daisy Chakrii. She may be on her best behavior after this latest stint in rehab, but we all know it's only a matter of time before TMZ posts a video of her dancing on stage at Victrola. I'll be front row.

You know you love me.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

*     ꗃ      new  upload   . . .   THE  MET  GALA  !

 [  sylvia  waves  and  grins  at  lari  ]  “  i'm  so  glad  you  were  able  to  join  us  !  ”  [  sylvia  takes  a  step  back  to  make  room  for  lari  ]  “  i  heard  you  had  quite  the  adventure  today  .  ”    //  @lcrissas

“  who  or  what  is  the  inspiration  for  tonight’s  look  ?  ”

southern  gothic  horror  .  i  went  down  this  rabbit  hole  the  a  while  back  of  watching  movies  and  shows  with  the  southern  gothic  aesthetic  .    lovecraft  country  ,  interview  with  the  vampire  ––  and  i  gotta  say  ,  it  really  grew  on  me  .  i  don’t  wanna  say  it’s  fate  that  the  theme  was  recently  announced  but  it  did  feel  like  a  no  brainer  to  go  with  something  inspired  by  that  !

“  what  is  a  non-negotiable  piece  for  tonight  ?  ”

normally  i’d  say  a  nice  timepiece  but  i  wouldn’t  be  able  to  show  it  off  in  this  dress  .  aside  from  that  ,  it’s  these  two  rings  by  cartier  .  i  feel  like  i  always  wear  these  whenever  i  go  to  an  event  .  it’s  almost  like  a  little  ritual  for  me

“  is  this  your  very  first  met  ?  you’ve  walked  the  carpet  ,  got  your  pictures  taken  .  do  you  feel  more  comfortable  now  that  you’re  here  ?  what  is  the  biggest  mystery  to  you  ?  ”

it  is  ,  yes  !  my  first  time  here  .  i’m  still  amazed  that  i  got  invited  but  uhmm  ––  i’m  feeling  slightly  more  at  ease  now  that  the  hard  part  is  over  .  now  i  can  just  go  inside  and  try  to  enjoy  the  rest  of  my  night  .  although  ,  i  will  say  the  biggest  mystery  to  me  is  the  type  of  food  they  serve  .  i  heard  there’s  no  garlic  or  onion  allowed  so  i’m  just  curious  to  see  how  that  goes  .

“  i  heard  you  had  some  trouble  getting  here  earlier.  is  that  true  ?  ”

oh  my  god  [  they  grimace  ]  yeah  i  did  have  some  trouble  getting  here  tonight  .  i  was  flying  back  in  from  paris  and  we  get  DELAYED  ––  as  it  does  with  jfk  .  so  i’m  here  essentially  flying  in  circles  for  another  hour  until  air  traffic  control  says  it’s  clear  for  me  to  land  .  and  by  the  time  everything’s  squared  away  ,  i’m  running  late  to  get  my  hair  and  makeup  done  but  !  i  made  it  in  one  piece  .

“  what  is  going  on  ?  i  heard  about  your  breakup  with  joey  and  just  wanna  see  how  you’re  doing  ”

[  eyebrows  raise  and  head  nods  as  if  to  process  her  question  ]  well  ,  i  appreciate  the  concern  but  i’m  doing  okay  .  [  they  smile  and  nod  ]  .  things  happen  and  it  doesn’t  always  work  out  .  but  we’re  still  good  friends  so  i  wish  him  nothing  but  the  best  .
