"Now that the 55- year-old bride Sánchez has proved that landing the fourth richest man in the world requires the permanent display of breasts like genetically modified grapefruit and behemoth buttocks bursting from a leopard-print thong bikini, she’s exuberantly and unapologetically shown that the route to power and glory for women hasn't changed since the first Venetian Republic."
Genius. For months now I've been trying to put together a jumbled, poorly written sentence to describe this romance and you did it so brilliantly.
How far we women have come. Another devastating look at what passes for success. Still there are loads of smart successful women in science and medicine who don’t make the headlines. All power to them. They’re the role models for the future.
The Soros-Abedin wedding was interesting only because it allowed us to see gathered in one place the people who are arguably the most responsible for subjecting us to Donald Trump as President. The arrogance and gross political malpractice of all the smart young people gathered around Hillary, like Abedin, contributed mightily to Hillary’s loss in a handful of rust belt states that handed Trump the presidency, instead of the political oblivion he deserved. The dress code for the wedding should have been sackcloth and ashes.
Like your mention of my rep., AOC. I believe she will be our first woman president. As to the incomparable Michelle Obama, tolerating near 20 years of racist hate and death threats gets her a pass, now and always. TB, keep setting the example!
Please write about Trump’s Botox Brigade! Such a downer aesthetic! I call them the Lara Croft wannabes, no offense to Lara. They are an affront to subtlety and its cousin taste, and to elegance and its mother - class.
Did you forget Taylor Swift? She fought back against her early songs being stolen from her and now owns her whole catalong. Forbes estimates her net worth at $1.6 billion, solidifying her position as the wealthiest female musician.
Glamosphere...genetically modified grapefruits...we were promised Mamala and instead got Mountainhead...to the barricades...cucumber cool...Beyonce's Parthenon thighs!
This is the sharpest -- and funniest -- writing in the Substackosphere.
When I look at Bezos, I recall your memorable description of M. Wolff. And when I look at Sanchez, I feel like the Slinky eyeballs guy in the comic book ads for X-ray vision glasses. Abandon taste, ye who enter here. Ye? Yeah, Ye gets in.
Huma Abedin is 10 (?) years senior to Alex Soros. According to NYTimes, the relationship was a long slow bake. I am not sure how these super power relationships work but it is something that really interests me. (Vanity Fair Diaries gave us a few hints.)
And then there is Kaitlin Collins, raised and educated in Alabama, a straight-shooter, private about her life, married to another journalist - neither one an outward power player - and yet, can't take my eyes off her when I pass by a screen she is on.
Huma is indeed fascinating and deserves her new life of ease after all she went through. It took me a while to warm up to Kaitlin but now so impressed by her imperturbability
absolutely fabulous Tina!! I died laughing at the Liz Cheney lone buffalo comment in particular!!! Superb. Sad state of affairs for women all around. Some things will never change....
The Belle Poitrine days are officially over ruined by all these surgically enhanced breasts. I can’t understand why these ladies need to show them off unless it’s collateral payment to their plastic surgeons?
I actually thought all those single ladies hanging around was sad and reminded me of dancing school when you hoped to be chosen to dance.
Thank you Tina - your sharp dagger like one liners hit the spot
Belle Poitrine ! i love that. Yes agree with you. The whole thing so intimidating I am sure I would have been confined to my bed in the Gritti Palace with pasta primavera.
It was really a D-list of attendees all hoping to be asked to dance by the few single men and Tom Brady’s gorgeous ex Giselle sure traded up for a man that might have better moves where it counts.
My guess is poor Kim is over the hill and no doubt reevaluating her status — big blow to that ego but she’s aged out and you can feel her fragility.
Bezos made such an obvious choice with Sanchez. As my husband would say, “She seems really nice. I’m not sure why, but I really like her.” Where are the fearless women? Remember Logan’s Run? Maybe when the brainless followers are all killed off in the Carousel, they will re-emerge from the hills. As if from a bad dream. As always, love your writing. 🤗
I actually liked the wedding gown as I love the movie " Houseboat: ( kudos to Edith Head) but when I saw the guests in their pajama attire for the Sat. ball, any respect for the gathered expired ( of course, not that they care). They look like idiots. Sanchez could have gone the route of a masquerade ball but went for underwear and corsets. I guess she won't change and clearly Bezos is still dealing with whatever rejections he had in high school and college from women.

Glad its landing with you, even if it means any future dinner invitations will be ripped up and thrown in the Rialto.!
What a snide jealous comment.

Agree. I wish they were more visible. At the moment its only the Instagram narcissists we ever see or hear from.

You are so right. And Hillary kept warning about the Supreme Court and no one listened and its all come true. Heartbreaking. T
I love you, Tina! You are wise and fearless!
No just old and stupid ! But thanks T

I guess you are right about Michelle but she has such a powerful voice i hate to see her benched. T

the zombie blondes are so weird I agree. Especially Kristi Noem in that baseball hat. Wonder if they all go to the same surgeon.
Did you forget Taylor Swift? She fought back against her early songs being stolen from her and now owns her whole catalong. Forbes estimates her net worth at $1.6 billion, solidifying her position as the wealthiest female musician.
You are totally right. Shes a ball buster and a hero.
Never thought I would receive a reply from the famous Tina Brown. Thanks for taking the time and agreeing Taylor Smith is as you describe, Joan
Glamosphere...genetically modified grapefruits...we were promised Mamala and instead got Mountainhead...to the barricades...cucumber cool...Beyonce's Parthenon thighs!

ooh you are kind,, sir. And I do look forward to our in person discussions T
Parthenon thighs. Solid gold...
glad you appreciated !
I am channeling Tina wisdom and not saying what is on my mind. Thank you Tina, for saving me from displaying my bitchiest self publicly.
I wish I had your self -control T

Imagine how exhausting that wedding was. They must have all had to be hooked up to IVS at the end of it

How lovely to see you pop in here. We need Women in the World as never before! T

Back at you

Its time we all came out from hiding ! It feels like the Fearless Femmes have thrown in the towel but they will come roaring back

Well i guess this was her fantasy and she was determined to have it and did!
