Style makes a comeback
I don't know if many are following it, but Jeff Bezos just married Lauren Sanchez. As expected, it was a lavish wedding which took place in Italy yesterday. The show was stolen by the bride and her wedding dress, which embodied all the style and elegance of America's past.
"The style was inspired by the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore in 1958’s “Houseboat” to marry Cary Grant, she told the mag.
“It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,” Sánchez added.
“I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s,” she added. “I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were [in a prayer position] and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, ‘That’s it. That’s the dress.’”

"Yes. I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I think he’s going to be so happy. I mean, it’s so elegant , it’s timeless," she said."
Timeless was the right word.
Ah yes, the glorious and irreplaceable 1950's.
You bet!
Some were mesmerised by the likes of a June Cleaver who paid no attention to the world outside her picket fence whilst frolicing about her kitchen in starched attire and tight sweaters.
Some men like their women bringing them their pipe and slippers. And their Negroes drinking out of separate water fountains.
mentioning Mrs. Cleaver reminded me of the dirtiest thing ever said on tv that slipped past the censors of the day.
"ward , you were a little hard on the beaver last night ."
You're damned right. Why do you think I've been posting so many times over the years on NT my begging Scotty to beam me back to the early 1950s? You know, back before computers and internet and the spreading of misinformation and disinformation, when journalists were truthful, when kids could play outside alone from dawn to dusk without being watched, when people didn't bother to lock their doors and left the keys in the ignition, when students actually had to do research and write their essays themselves and people knew how to count out change when the cash register didn't do it for them, when the United Nations was an organization that held hope for world peace and wasn't the biggest antisemitic organization in the world. ..
Income inequality thrives because the peons are persuaded to psychologically identify with and sympathize with the obscenely rich.
Hence the media coverage of this wedding.
When the economy once again allows for one person to support an entire family, we'll talk.
An economy boosted by a complete lack of devastation to its industries.
The economy ain't going back there. With the introduction of each labor saving device we have seen the evaporation of jobs. We have also seen the liberation of women and granting of full rights to most people, though Trump wants to take away some of those hard earned rights. He has also severely undercut the United States position as a leader in science and technology which will lead to a further decline in stature for the nation in the coming years.
So, go on and sing the praises of flowery wedding gowns if it helps you be unaware that Donald J Trump is ruining the country that we all love by opening a graft store in the Oval Office and putting a big sign out that reads "Trump For Sale: Buy Influence Here!"
Never say never. The economy is always evolving. But since you don't think the economy is going back to jobs requiring labor, maybe you can tell us why whoever controlled Biden brought in 12 million poor unskilled workers?
And yet somehow you think that it can therefore go back in time 75 - 100 years and use the tactics that failed then?
Eventually AI will end up not requiring human tenders. We have years to go through before that eventuality is reached.
That is, on several levels, a fantasy that exists only in your mind.
The US economy is still the greatest in the world. We rebuilt Europe and much of the world after WWII. The problem is that we never took the baby bottle away and the baby is now a 75-year-old Socialist nation that can't even afford its own defense, regulates prescription costs that Americans have to pay for and has enjoyed an insane trade imbalance for decades.
No shit. We had a basically intact manufacturing base and all the men were coming back home. We also had top tax rates in above 90% until the 60's, a gradual decline ~50% until the 80's and the debt from the wars was almost paid off, then Ronny Raygun sold the American people on "Supply side economics", and we have basically been on a grifters ride with CEO and top echelon peoples income rising to absurdly high levels while the conservatives and the ghost of R.R. say "No. We can lower taxes and pay down the debt at the same time." Mysteriously, the debt just fucking gets worse and worse, year after year, and the answer to all of that is, wait for it, lower taxes on the people who make the most, And you still suck that shit up like it is ruby-red grapefruit juice.
What the fuck is $30 Trillion dollars between Rich friends. We'll just get the middle class to clean up our mess.
It was to pay off WWII debts. Back then we paid off our debts.
And those nations have repaid their debt. As to that 75 year old nation which I presume is Canada:
1: the current Canadian Gov't has increased her defense expenditure to 5%.
2: Prescription drugs are cheaper because they are bought in bulk (a truly capitalist concept).
3: the average Canadian spends $7-8 for every $1 Americans spends on US-Can goods and services. There is no "insane" trade imbalance.
4: Canada is not a socialist nation, it is a social democracy operating within a capitalist economic system.
Anti-up, buddy, because we stopped doing that when Ronny Raygun convinced people that the rich would let their money trickle down...
Is it style or the flaunting of wealth?
The latter in my view
Anyone can buy a similar wedding dress.
The flaunting of wealth has nothing to do with the dress
Correct
The dress is beautiful the flaunting of the wealth disgusting
Elegance and style are fine, but they haven’t gone anywhere. Grown ups still wear suits and dresses. Rich people and celebrities go right on dressing like rich people and celebrities in clothes regular people could never afford.
The worship of the rich and famous - primarily because they are rich and famous - is not a thing to be proud of, in my opinion. I think it damages us. A person is valued more than another because of celebrity or wealth, not because of how they treat other people.
Since we’re apparently here to opine on the look of Lauren Sanchez, I will say her dress is fine, but what that woman has done to her face is sad. She used to be pretty, but plastic surgery has taken a woman who could have aged with style and elegance and turned her into a caricature.
aka known as MAGA style
In Your Face: The Brutal Aesthetics of MAGA - Mother …
Mar 17, 2025 · But the most jarring aesthetic in this burgeoning MAGA stagecraft is the unbridled embrace of face-altering procedures: plastic surgery, veneers, and injectables like Botox and fillers.
It looks to me like she has the same plastic surgeon as Kimberly Guilfoyle, who similarly ruined her face.
I never thought she was attractive, with or without plastic surgery. Bezos likely married her for other qualities which are important to him alone.
My interest was in the style of the wedding dress, which I would argue most likely made her look the best she will ever look in her lifetime.
Reading some of these responses, causes me to wonder what would make certain people upset about that. Don't people on the left like happy women? Don't people on the left like seeing a perky woman? Don't people on the left like a woman who is constantly smiling? Hmmm .... maybe that is why the left's head is exploding over the young happy woman who wears the crucifix and is the White House Press Secretary.
I guess she checks all the boxes. Maybe the President somehow had her created with all the right ingredients.
It's odd that you're getting that from the responses, because literally nobody has said anything of the sort. We regret the unnecessary plastic surgery pretty women have undergone to make them less pretty. The rest is a straw man.
That is just a cross. There is no figure attached.
I would say that she and her cross are yet further evidence weighing against a "God": If the stories were true, the cross should have burned her and the rest of the administration up for the slightest claim of divinity.
All easy when you are marrying into 300 billion dollars.
Considering the number of lies she tells and her pleasure at cruelty I'd guess Jesus wants his cross back.
As you know, what amazed me is her close facial resemblance to Rosamund Pike, who played Jane Bennet, Lizzie's sister, in Pride and Prejudice.
Her face looks like an industrial vacuum is sucking on her hair.
The baby boomers for the most part were spoiled brats who hated style. Let's admit it. They wore jeans to all occasions and drove cheap foreign cars.
So…like Trump and a bunch or people he hangs out with, or who work for him?
I reject this desire to stereotype and paint groups with a broad brush. The goal is to usually denigrate the members of that group, and in so doing elevate one’s own self esteem by putting oneself above that group. It’s just a toxic way to be.
This is so weird. Hating on jeans and foreign cars? Just more generic hate to build self esteem.
