Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Redux, I don't Think so.


Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
- The Original - Versus - The Pretender






Since after the 2008 United States Presidential Election, the Liberal Media in this country, of which VOGUE Magazine is certainly a part (Its Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour and one time Designer Calvin Klein hosted a Fundraiser for the Obama Ticket on the Hamptons) have attempted to brainwash the public into thinking that Michelle Obama is the new Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Such abysmal delusion will work for some, but for those of us who have eyes, such a comparison is categorically and ridiculously absurd! Mrs. Onassis was that rarest of breeds, an original of exceptional intellect, beauty, poise, elegance, and charm. Mrs. Obama, on the other hand, possesses none of those qualities and characteristics and is therefore, nothing at all "like" Mrs. Onassis and all associated with such a notion should be ashamed of themselves. I was recently reminded by a dear friend of a quote made by Judy Garland which speaks volumes to this ongoing nonsense:

"Always be a first rate version of who you are instead of a second-rate version of someone else".

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - 1929 - 1994


Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis the ultimate American International Icon of Style. Mrs. Onassis was an exceptional Woman of Style. She was intelligent, exquisitely beautiful, elegant, brimming over with grace, charm, humour, wit, and an enthusiasm for life and living. While she occupied the White House she inspired her fellow citizens both at home and around the globe to not only be the best individual possible but to enhance the self by seeking the best whether in Friends, Relationships, Art, Literature, High Fashion, Entertaining, and Theatre. Her commitment to the ancient aspiration toward excellence is much needed today.

This clip, from the American television broadcast, "A Tour of the White House with Mrs. John F. Kennedy" originally aired in February, 1962 speaks to all of Mrs. Onassis' special and unique qualities, as well as, capturing three (3) areas of interest to me and the focus of this site: Fashion; Architecture; and Interior Decoration.
