There dropping like flies… Socialites and Opportunist!
We’ve had a busy month at loosing some of the “rich girls” of society who got lucky by marrying the “right guys”. Leona Helmsley and Brooke Astor who both took their dead husband’s money to the next level. My kinda women. Leona obviously a survivor who after that big scandal about how she treated her staff, still continued to rule with her iron fisted face and talent for saving a penny. Unlike Leona. Brooke Astor ruled her organization with a short leash. But. Rivaled her benefactors with great scrutiny and decision making whenever contributing to their cause. Quite the management expert. All in all, Brooke Astor was always dressed to the nines upon appearance and presentation of herself. She really kept Paris and NYC couture designers afloat with all those expensive “Suits and Dresses”. She wore them all so well, back in the day. Leona Helmsley? Well. That’s another story. Though she always played it safe with her wardrobe. By no means was her style that of Brooke Astor. Yet. They both taught their counterparts and colleagues what a girl can do with a few bucks given the right opportunity.
