Bowers gang halloween incorrect quote

Vic: *walks out of his closet in a pink suit and white gloves* :(

Belch: Why do you look so depressed?

Vic: ugh, because my husband was shot in dallas, idiot. For this years halloween, the bowers gang will be going as genderbent wives of the fallen presidents, I am jackie kennedy. Belch, you will be going as the emotionally fragile Ida McKinley, who's husband was killed by an anarchist bullet. Patrick, you will be the homely and religious latricia garfield, bereaved wife of president James Garfield.

Patrick: Hold up, no way, why do I have to be the homely one?

Vic: Because there's only so many murdered presidents, Patrick!

Patrick: What about Mary Todd Lincoln?

Vic: Henry is Lady Lincoln, obvi.

Henry: Wait, what do you mean obvi?

Vic: Just a second, Patrick, if you're gonna be a pain about it, I guess we can open it up to presidents who were ALMOST assassinated. You can either be Betty Ford, which means you have to get wasted, and stay wasted all night, OR, you can be alleged hollywood matress Nancy Reagan.

Patrick: *smiles* dibs, i'm Nancy Reagan.

Henry: Why am I Mary Todd Lincoln?

Vic: Oh my god, do I have to spell it out for you? You're out of your freakin gourd, Henry, you're a weird psycho lunatic who's gonna end up in an asylum somewhere, staring at a wall, trying to nurse a watering can. You're a Mary Todd Lincoln if there ever was one.

Henry: That's it! I can't take this anymore!

Vic: that is SUCH a Mary Todd Lincoln thing for you to say.

Henry: UGH!

Do you have one of those presidential rankings lists for oldest first ladies like the one you posted for oldest presidents when Carter turned 99?

I do. A slight distinction, though, is that this will be a list of longest-living wives of the Presidents as opposed to a list of First Ladies. Not every President's wife technically served as First Lady (and not every First Lady or White House Hostess was a President's wife) because some died or divorced before their husband became President and a couple Presidents remarried after leaving office.

So, with that clarification, here are the wives of the Presidents from longest- to shortest-living at the age of their death:

Bess Truman: 97 years, 247 days Rosalynn Carter: 96 years, 93 days Nancy Reagan: 94 years, 243 days (Reagan's 2nd wife) Lady Bird Johnson: 94 years, 201 days Betty Ford: 93 years, 91 days Barbara Bush: 92 years, 313 days Jane Wyman: 90 years, 248 days (Reagan's 1st wife) Mary Harrison: 89 years, 250 days (B. Harrison's 2nd wife) Edith Wilson: 89 years, 64 days (Wilson's 2nd wife) Anna Harrison: 88 years 215 days Sarah Polk: 87 years, 344 days Edith Roosevelt: 87 years, 45 days (T. Roosevelt's 2nd wife) Lucretia Garfield: 85 years, 329 days Frances Cleveland: 83 years, 100 days Mamie Eisenhower: 82 years, 352 days Helen Taft: 82 years, 140 days Pat Nixon: 81 years, 98 days Dolley Madison: 81 years, 53 days Grace Coolidge: 78 years, 186 days Eleanor Roosevelt: 78 years, 27 days Louisa Adams: 77 years, 91 days Laura Bush: 77 years+ [Still living] Julia Grant: 76 years, 322 days Hillary Clinton: 76 years+ [Still living] Abigail Adams: 73 years, 351 days Ivana Trump: 73 years, 144 days (Trump's 1st wife) Jill Biden: 72 years+ [Still living] Martha Washington: 70 years, 355 days Lou Hoover: 69 years, 284 days Julia Tyler: 69 years, 67 days (Tyler's 2nd wife) Caroline Fillmore: 67 years, 294 days (Fillmore's 2nd wife) Eliza Johnson: 65 years, 103 days Jacqueline Kennedy: 64 years, 295 days Florence Harding: 64 years, 98 days Margaret Taylor: 63 years, 331 days Mary Todd Lincoln: 63 years, 215 days Elizabeth Monroe: 62 years, 85 days Rachel Jackson: 61 years, 190 days Caroline Harrison: 60 years, 24 days (B.

Trying to rank all the US First Ladies by how likely I’d win in a fight with them.

Can fight

- Malania (I’m not googling how to spell it) trump, could def fight. She has a strong aura of a girl that has been getting her ass beat since middle school. You know she has been dragged out a bathroom stall by her hair by another woman before.

- Nancy Reagan, my hatred towards her alone would demolish her.

- Jackie Kennedy, her bones are weak. Nothing personal I just know I could size her up.

Don’t want to fight

- Michelle Obama, her arms. She ripped.

- Elenor Roosevelt, she gives me Cookie Monster pajama pants vibes. Can’t take her.

- Ida McKinley, she has a fuckin jaw. I’m not saying I can’t fight her but it’s gonna be hard.

Diplomat William Henry Hunt (June 29, 1869 - December 20, 1951) diplomat, was born in Tennessee.

His father, William B. Hunt, was a white slave owner who fathered many children with his female. His mother, Sophia Hunt, was one of his father’s enslaved. He had three older sisters and two younger brothers.

His mother took her children to Nashville. He worked as a porter, handyman, and jockey until he decided to go back to school. He attended Lawrence Academy and was the only African American enrolled there at the time. He enrolled in Williams College but left the school due to what he alleged to be racial discrimination. He then worked for the Price McCormick Company as a clerk in New York City.

He married civil rights leader Ida Alexander Gibbs (1904), daughter of Mifflin Wistar Gibbs. President William McKinley hired him to be his clerk and assistant. He became vice Consul in May 1899 and was chosen by President Theodore Roosevelt to succeed Mifflin Gibbs as consul in Antananarivo in August of 1901. In November 1906, he became the consul in St. Etienne, France, and remained there until the office was closed in 1927. He continued to serve as consul in Guadeloupe in the West Indies, the Azores off the coast of Morocco, and Monrovia, where he worked until he retired on December 31, 1932. He spent more time in US diplomatic posts than any other African American.

He spent much of his retirement writing a memoir about his extraordinary life as a diplomat. He interacted with diplomats from other countries and counted Kaiser Wilhelm II and J.P. Morgan as among the many prominent people he met. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

I finished The Gilded Lady instead of reading one of the bajillion books I have half read under my coffee table 🤣

My goal is still to finish all the books I have started recently and not start any new ones until that is accomplished, but we will see ;)

I had family here this weekend so I didn't get much reading done, but I had a lovely time :)

Anyway, The Gilded Lady follows Caroline Delacroix, who is secretary to First Lady Ida McKinley. She is hoping to earn a presidential pardon for her brother, who she feels has been falsely accused of treason and jailed. She falls in love with the head of the Secret Service Nathaniel Trask, and she hopes he won't find out about her brother's situation.

This was a very sweet story, and I found myself unable to put it down for a lot of the middle. I liked it :)

Tiaras of the First Ladies

A tiara is a very formal piece of jewelry that can be worn by anyone but just because it can be worn by anyone doesn’t mean that’s always a good idea.  The formal occasions where tiaras were once worn have decreased to the point that the modern American public views tiaras as a symbol of royalty and it would be a very bad pr move for the First Lady of the United States to wear a tiara because of that.  Let’s look back at a time when that wasn’t the case.

Elizabeth Kortwright Monroe (1817-1825) acquired this amethyst tiara during her time in Paris as wife of the US ambassador to France and she may have worn it when she attended Napoleon’s coronation.  Her daughter, Eliza Monroe Hay, may have also worn the tiara when she stepped in as First Lady due to her mother’s poor health.  This tiara is now located in the James Monroe Museum.

Angelica Singleton van Buren (1838-1841) acted as First Lady for her widowed father-in-law.  She wore a headpiece of diamonds and pearls for her official White House portrait.

Ida Saxton McKinley (1897-1901) owned a diamond wing tiara made by J. Dreicer & Son that now belongs to the McKinley Presidential Museum

Helen Herron Taft (1909-1913) wore two tiaras as First Lady, a gold tiara for her official White House portrait and a Belle Epoch diamond tiara toward the end of her husband’s term.

Mamie Doud Eisenhower (1953-1961) never wore a tiara publicly but she she did own a pearl and diamond necklace that was convertible to a tiara. The necklace/tiara was sold at Sotheby’s in 2015 by her descendants.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (1961-1963) knew that she couldn’t get away with wearing a tiara like her predecessors but she pushed the envelope a bit by wearing jewelry in her hair.  The most famous was the sunburst brooch she bought at Wartski in London in 1962 and wore to several state banquets.

A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden - Book Review

A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden – Book Review

[book-info]

Set in the opulence of the White House during the Gilded Age, A Gilded Lady is a delightful tapestry of faith, romance, familial love, and political intrigue. Camden captured the sense of time and place beautifully and filled this story with rich emotions so tangible you feel them yourself.

Caroline was introduced to us in The Spice King. She is now firmly entrenched as the secretary…
