Now, THIS Is How One Enters For Afternoon Tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  The woman pictured is Babe Paley, who was one of the Cushing sisters--oh, my God, darlings, the Cushing sisters!  Wouldn't we have wanted to be one of them??????????????????????

                                    When it came to glamour, Babe ran New York City.  She was Truman Capote's prime swan till the scandal, and of her he rightly said, "Babe Paley had one flaw.  She was perfect.  Other than that, she was perfect?"  How many people can we say that about, loves?  I can think of several myself, starting with my beloved David.

                                        Why does no one dress like this, anymore?  Or care?

                                        And that hat! I would LOVE to wear that hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
