That’s a 1953 portrait of Jacqueline Bouvier by Vogue photographer Horst P. Horst (that name!). Jackie would have been 82 today. She died in 1994 at age 64.
Here are some photographs of her bedroom in the White House.
This next pic was part of her dressing room.
This wardrobe is a trompe l’oeil, the objects depicted were of various significance to her. It was painted by Pierre-Marie Rudelle. Here’s a better look.
Her vanity and fainting couch.
Am I blue?

Swann hats… pretty sexy! They were made in Louisville, in the building seen below.
When we were kids, my brother and I worked with my cousin Howard at an antique mall in a building just like this in Philadelphia. But this is Louisville. And the building is there today…
Suites are for rent, starting at $2,975.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi tests the limits of plaid as she arrives for a weekly news conference on Thursday in DC — she had no comment on Weiner pulling out.
And speaking of which…Ryan Reynolds wore this immaculately tailored gray/blue suit to the Chinese Theatre premiere of “Green Lantern” last night.
It looks like he forgot his belt. I’d forgive him.

I need a new sofa. Well, no one really NEEDS a new sofa, I mean, people still make use of sofas dumped by freeway off ramps. I’ve seen some horrific sofas still working in non-profit offices and Connecticut basements that make shabby chic look like Buckingham Palace.
In a quick internet search, I found a few I liked, including the Space Invaders settee above, which would please my nephew, who incurred thumb problems in his teens.
This red tubular turdy couch is about as inviting as an eye exam, which one should consider before buying it.
Amy liked this little sofa, about which she said, “It climbs up the walls just like you say Carolyn makes you do!”
My friend Morgan suggested something with an Italian design… somehow, I don’t think this is what he had in mind.
I settled on this one. It had a certain je ne sais quoi.
