I find myself thinking of The Masque of the Red Death— if only AI were for this evening what it’s cracked up to be, so no human servants were present.

Donna Maurillo's avatar

No human boobs would be present, either. I have no problem with someone doing a nip and a tuck, or even a little enhancement for something nature didn't give them. But geez. Basketballs?? And these are the people who say that we all should be happy with the bodies that nature/God gave to us. It's their argument against transitions. But then they go and transition into Plastic Barbie.

Jean E Hayes's avatar

She looks ridiculously fake. I think she'd be much prettier without such overdone enhancements also.

Donna Maurillo's avatar

To paraphrase Marie Antoinette: "Let them eat melons."

Colin's avatar

With this level of extravagance, when so many people are suffering, they should be eating prison gruel.

Ruth Sheets's avatar

Colin, can you see those creeps faced with gruel? They would stare at it unless they were actually starving and whine forever. They are so spoilt they could not function without others taking care of their every whim. I truly don't get what people see in the rich. I would like to live so I am not in want, but I want enough. Any more, I am doing my best to find places and people to support. It makes me feel sick thinking of having billions of dollars while others have none, particularly if it were I who caused people to have so little.

More like GG and those lips!!!

Tina's avatar

I was going to say the same thing. I was over-blessed, so I know. One day, I will take care of that.

Martin Mayland's avatar

Talk about inflation...

Mary Norquist's avatar

You made me laugh with that one!!

mbglamb's avatar

Good one!!!!

Susan Kiss's avatar

She looks ridiculous! And she has really crappy taste in clothing. All I can say is I am happy that at 68, I can still lie on my stomach and show emotions on my face.

Carol Kelley's avatar

There was a great column in Mother Jones about how the Bezos and the Met Ball saying that Ms Bezos will never be elegant or chic. Her clothes scream how much she's spent

M Pare's avatar

Her clothes scream "are you kidding me?"

Pamela S.'s avatar

I would say her clothes scream: "whoops! "

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

I checked thr NYT Met Gala coverage and it's a parade of the 1% flaunting and reveling in their wealth and fame. These people may as well inhabit a different planet than the rest of us. They're insulated from the problems that millions of Americans and people in other countries face, and any gestures they make expressing concern is performative virtue signaling.

Diana Faith Adair's avatar

They got it right. She's self-blind.

Pamela S.'s avatar

Self blind, yes. But also, she so blinded by the "protruding shelf" that she can't see her feet!

Robert's avatar

“great column in Mother Jones”

Oxymoron for the morons.

Pamela S.'s avatar

Her dresses must be custom made as hers is not a natural figure. What happens if she leans over?

Nancy Solak's avatar

That girl is putting water balloons in the place where her bosoms should be. Weird.

Suze's avatar

Glad that you mentioned the Sanchez water balloons, so much, that'd she'd never need a life preserver, if she fell off their yacht. Admire Bezos' former wife, for giving away her wealth, astutely. Wish she had bought the Washington Post, from Jeff, to save journalism, + help the free press.

Sue Heath's avatar

And LOADS more attractive!

Suze's avatar

SPOT ON, SUE!

Joanne Beck's avatar

hahahahahahahaha no life preserver. hahahahahaha

Paul Cesmat's avatar

what a great idea. i wonder if he'd sell it to her.

JP Connolly's avatar

at a steep discount I hope.

Ingrid Kern's avatar

The over-ripe melons, the lips like the red wax lips we used to wear for Hallowe'en, the hollowed-out caverns under her cheek-bones, the nails ready to scratch your eyes out.......is this the best Female Robot Bezos ' $$ billions could purchase !!!

Joanne Beck's avatar

silicone balloons.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

If you look up Lauren Sanchez prior to her hookup with Bezos she was an attractive woman.

Laurie Blair's avatar

It's like "Hi, I'm Lauren Sanchez and these are my breasts".

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

We can't NOT see them.

Laurie Blair's avatar

But the Nazi in chief can.

MaryAnn Nøbben's avatar

Or rather"Hi, these are my breasts!! Oh, and I'm Lauren Sanchez."

Suze's avatar

But now, not a great role model, for her kids.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

She isn't a role model for anyone.

Mary Norquist's avatar

Except maybe hookers.

joannegucci's avatar

Aww…I don’t think so, she looks tough, I’ll bet she’s a dominatrix, leather & chains, actually Bezo’s looks like he likes to be whipped by her! 🤣🤣🤣

Judi S.'s avatar

She looks like the cat woman. The woman who had so many face surgeries she resembled a cat.

Judy Toelle's avatar

Her dress isn't even attractive! It looks as though she is falling out of it.

Joy Lindholm's avatar

Jeff needed somewhere handy to store his pocket change. Poor thing, to be so shallow to think that is attractive. Too much ‘Real Housewives” going around.

Daniel H Laemmerhirt's avatar

She would look HUMAN without all that botox that makes humans look like creatures.

Debi's avatar

She looks like a caricature of a human being - cartoonish

tamar's avatar

she stopped being pretty a long time ago.... all the botox covers whatever appeal there was

Pamela's avatar

Hilarious. Her boobs precede her.

Annie Cross's avatar

Pamela - When you say, "Her 'boobs' precede her," are you referring to her chestal region or to the photographers, hangers-on, "celebrities" and other actual boobs who precede her and buzz around her and every other "celebrity" who becomes famous for putting their "cantilevered" (nod to NYT Robin Givhans) breasts on display and playing all coy and vulgar with their nakedness, when they're just dancing with obscenity and getting attention and slobbering "praise" for it.

I was just as disgusted and shocked actually to see images of Seth Myers and Al Sharpton all dressed up for the Show.

We're all just suckers, aren't we.

Lynnette Van Epps-Smith's avatar

I agree-Mrs. Bezos looks grotesque.....all the MAGA wives look like blow up porn dolls-sickening!

Sherry's avatar

There's even a real name for it..the Mar a Lago face. Plastic surgeons do these particularly grotesque jobs over & over.

Sherry L Flotten's avatar

At the risk of sounding terribly catty, at least we know why he married her. (In my defense, I am also quite busty, but mine are real and are (rarely) exposed to the public)

Susan Bondesen's avatar

OMG.. I never comment on breast augmentation.. It's a personal choice (silly but still) BUT THIS WOMAN HAS TWO BASKETBALLS ON THE FRONT OF HER.. Did she not look in the mirror first.. ?

Brooks Keogh's avatar

I doubt she'd have attracted bezos without them

Anne Fletcher-Jones's avatar

And I wouldn’t mind betting that he’ll dump her for a younger model the moment her “enhancements” start to sag. They are both disgusting.

Brooks Keogh's avatar

a good bet-when trophies sag

Sue Heath's avatar

She had it done for him. Doesn’t say much for her feminist credentials!

DisplayL's avatar

You mean he's a pervert and doesnt mind parading his problem in the public.

Brooks Keogh's avatar

evidently-he likes trump-meanwhile,his ex gives billions to charity,kathryn

Laura A Merlo's avatar

It’s easy to see her , gasp, and go there. But that’s a digression from the points about her hideous husband.

Robin Witherspoon's avatar

I was wondering why she just didn't go topless. She's almost there.

Annie Cross's avatar

That's true of most of the Vulgarity on Parade. Topless, bottomless, barely covered anywhere, but don't look. Do. Not. Look. This naked body on display in outrageously expensive "designer" garb and jewels and absurd shoes? Do. Not. Look.

Joanne Beck's avatar

Horrible Bezos woman packs herself into everything she wears. AND her lips look like labia on her face.

Bunny Breit's avatar

Really. I had no IDEA Bryon Noem was setting a fashion trend. 🤪 I'm beginning to think this *look* is the foreshadowing of the upcoming Stepford Wives II.

Annie Cross's avatar

Gigantic fake lips. Gigantic fake and paraded mammaries.Fake fingernails like talons.Available to perform anything for money and attention, available to sell anything for more money and more attention.. The whole lot of them, not just Mrs. Bezos. None even compare to the thump mob and the "women" in that crowd.

Paul Cesmat's avatar

Seems like she'd need some kinda harness or scaffolding or something to support those mammary glands.

JP Connolly's avatar

Maybe they're full of air?

Batya Lee's avatar

Not mammary glands. Mostly implants.

Ruth Sheets's avatar

Donna, hypocrisy is strong with these ones, along with lying, cheating, blaming, insulting, maligning, threatening, and so much more. It was so funny thinking that Trump is whining about Comey posting a picture of seashells that Trump claims he thinks is threatening him while he actually does threaten all sorts of people every day. Yep, Trump is the pathetic head of the Hypocrican Party.

Charles's avatar

Oh Donna, you said what I would hesitate to say! Those are the most amazing "push me, pull you" boobs I've ever seem!

Dorothy King's avatar

I knew everything I needed to know from that ridiculous picture.

Pamela S.'s avatar

Dorothy, Yes... and more than I "ever" need to know/want to know about her body.

Steve Watkins's avatar

My God! I look at Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos and I'm reminded of pawnshops, with the three "golden balls."

Vivian Fletcher's avatar

Between her boobs and face...UGH!

Annie Cross's avatar

Basketballs, indeed, and as NYT (former WaPo) writer Robin Givhans so cleverly described the display of the "chestal regions" by way too many women, she said (I hope I'm quoting exactly; it was the word "cantilevered" that was perfect?) "cantilevered bosoms..." which I thought was perfect. I have often thought, "why wear a top? Just put 'em on a platter and parade around." Of course, then if someone glances at the cantilevered display, that is potentially harassment.

Get naked! Look at me! Look at me! Don't you dare look! What are YOU looking at?! Why aren't you looking at me?! Don't look! Hey! Bosom on display here at great expense! They cost a lot! The dress that doesn't cover 'em cost a lot! Look!! Don't look!!

Johan's avatar

He spent thirty years replacing the real economy with a catalog.

Tonight he shows up to the ball with the human equivalent: assembled, polished, frictionless, visibly synthetic, posed in front of a backdrop of extras who look like they were ordered in bulk.

The society he built does not really produce people anymore. It produces finishes.

At this point he is one firmware update away from marrying the box it came in.

Johan

Carol S.'s avatar

Yes, definitely a good analogy. For those of you who are not familiar with this story by Edgar Allan Poe, the plague is raging across the country and all those of means go to a castle to escape and hold a ball. The plague finds them anyway and they die one by one.

Dr. Shihan Bolz's avatar

Let’s hope the ending for this plague backfires on the instigators and saves the poor innocent ones.

Sue Heath's avatar

Like The Decameron, but not as funny?

Mike Hammer's avatar

I was thinking Marat Sade but you nailed it.

Pam Cooper's avatar

Both references work. I thought of De Sade -- all those rich, vain, jaded libertines. And the Met gala is a kind of orgy, IMO.

Mary Ann Dimand's avatar

If only any of them were cataleptically somnolent.

Donna Maurillo's avatar

At some time in the future, all that botox will render their muscles unable to express emotion. These are the people you see with plastic-looking faces and bloated lips. We all have seen these celebrities showing up on talk shows, and we think, "What the Hell happened??" What happened is too much botox, and too much surgery, stretching skin until it's ready to explode.

JudithMontreal's avatar

These women who butcher their bodies probably don't like themselves. Insecure folks. No amount of surgery will fix that. They need head doctors, not plastic surgeons.

Sue Heath's avatar

I think the same of loads of tattooes when all the skin slips!

Batya Lee's avatar

I’m wondering if she’s had the surgery to remove her lower ribs to make her waist narrower.

Virginia's avatar

That is very very clever!!!! Now I will suggest he make big donations to the arts (and even more to the Met) in New York and all over! Habitat for Humanity and Second Harvest and education and housing etc. etc.

Dr. Iris St. John's avatar

I’d love to go and would bring a basket of tomatoes. VERY ripe tomatoes.

Diana Faith Adair's avatar

Lauren's pic shows her all ready to go to the festivities described in The Masque! And she was rather pretty before she went to the dark side.

So sad that these people can't see how they look to the rest of us, but I guess we really don't count.

Ruth Sheets's avatar

Mary Ann, I can't believe it but I was thinking the exact same thing! It is the image that came into my head, then I wrote something else. I read yours and was so pleased I wasn't as strange thinking about that story as I thought, especially since that story has not come to mind for me in years!!

Mehebub Karmali's avatar

Do I need a boob lift? Lol

Timothy Cooper's avatar

I would comment on Bezos' supremely tacky wife, but that would be beneath my standards

- Karen Cooper

Mary-Chilton van Hees's avatar

I’m no beauty but neither is she!

Timothy Cooper's avatar

As we all know, beauty shines from within. There is no "there" there apparent with Mrs. Bezos

- Karen

myhoopbabies's avatar

Apparently, it isn't beneath me to share this intrusive thought: "In the unlikely event of a water landing, your wife can be used as a flotation device". So, he's got that going for him.

Kathryn Guillaum's avatar

Does she have all the other imp!ants too? I can't see her backside

I know, I'm judging; does Jeff have any...? Ok, I'll shut up now!

Christine's avatar

She better tuck those girls in a little better than that.

Talk about a wardrobe malfunction.

Pamela's avatar

I do believe it was intentional. Jeff must have a fetish, or maybe she does?

Sue Heath's avatar

He once had a blow up doll, but she burst and he could afford an Android.

Kathryn Guillaum's avatar

Well, refer to the entrance requirements;I believe she fulfilled them

Mehebub Karmali's avatar

Yup otherwise Donald Duck will grab them lol

Carol Shuman Ph.D.'s avatar

Isn’t that funny! An awful clown!

Susie in OH's avatar

More like a shelf from what is visible.

Gregg Ottinger's avatar

What do these people’s bodies look like when they are 70 or older? I hope I live to see.

Donna Maurillo's avatar

That much Botox leaves its mark in future years. She looks like a blowup doll now, but in the next several years, all those chemicals will have her looking like Dorian Gray.

Sherry's avatar

And her husband will have purchased a far newer model. Hope she negotiated an adequate pre-nup

Robert's avatar

No need to speculate. Look at Nancy “Caroline Allpass/Marion Stein” Pelosi.

Rose (WNY via OH/OR/MA/FL/CO)'s avatar

They look synthetic, artificial and fake—and much older and weirder than if they had let nature take its course.

Sue Heath's avatar

She does t look far off.

DisplayL's avatar

they hope you dont live for any reasonable time.

Sue Heath's avatar

But she will NEVER decay! No embalming needed, all been done already!

DisplayL's avatar

Indeed, I read somewhere that among our great medical advances we have developed the ability to embalm people before they die.

Sherry's avatar

That chick would never pass an Environmental Impact Statement...waaay too much plastic and chemicals

Matthew Ward's avatar

In the event of a water landing…

Christy's avatar

At least some of the Robber Barrons of yesteryear often did good things for society.

Cyndi Magill's avatar

I Can't STAND it. Horrible ostentatious people. To spend that kind of money ugh....when so many people are out of work, can't feed their children, pay for health care. I don't know how they look at themselves in the mirror each day.

Mary Roeser's avatar

They have no reflection, so they don't bother to look in the mirror.

Cyndi Magill's avatar

Ha....so true. They are that evil!

Bobbie's avatar

Wonder how much she paid for that pair of basketballs!

Fraser's avatar

Probably a tax write-off to achieve Ripley's biggest boobs award:)

Carlyn Short's avatar

I think Kristi Noem's hubby has that locked in.

Fraser's avatar

Oh right Carlyn-I forgot about him/her:)

Christine's avatar

More like melon balls.

Noreen R. Brawley's avatar

I've always loved the Met Gala. Definitely from afar.

When I read about the Bezos duo being honorary chairs I was outraged and so disappointed.

My personal protest is to not look at another single glamorous picture of this event.

Which I see as a disgusting show of absolute greed.

They should all be ashamed of their hedonistic display.

People are suffering.

Hunger, untreated illness, separation from loved ones, racism, and every kind of discrimination.

Susie in OH's avatar

And our military starving on ships!

Sasha Bley-Vroman's avatar

And their families unable to get the SNAP aid they need, back on land. (How come people in the military are paid so little they need food stamps?)

Marcia DeFren's avatar

I also used to enjoy looking at the gorgeous garbs at the Met gala. No more. Just as I used to enjoy the Kennedy Center awards, and this year I boycotted them. Same principle.

Carol Kelley's avatar

I usually watch the livestream myself. Not this year and quite possibly never again. There's some shows on PBS I want to see tonight as well as this week's Tup Chef.

Robert's avatar

Look up “tupp” in Estonian.

richard winkler's avatar

What is with that stupid boob pooch out on the wife? It looks so stupid.

Ellen D. Murphy's avatar

Honestly! Someday she’s going to walk too close to an open fireplace and all of that plastic is gonna melt. I generally refrain from snarking about women’s looks, but she’s a grotesque caricature.

richard winkler's avatar

I feel the same way. This is what the love of money does to the natural beauty of women - it makes them ugly, just like their evil spouses.

Robert's avatar

“it makes them ugly, just like their evil spouses.”

Hillary? Dr. Jill Biden? And Michelle Obama as captured in the pic of her husband, Helle Thorning Schmidt, and Ca-moron?

Daniel H Laemmerhirt's avatar

That's the thing: you support WOMEN as I do. I doubt that creature even HAS real women's reproductive organs. THAT is what the lizardman found attractive in "her."

Mike Hammer's avatar

“ He sucks more than anyone has ever sucked before”. - Butthead

I agree with him.

Timothy Cooper's avatar

Bezos is certainly evil (a word I rarely use) on a Trumpian scale, on a myriad of levels, exceeding all others except Miller

- Karen Cooper

ISOequanimity's avatar

Reframing how I perceive the logo on their trucks helped me cut the cord with Amazon. I now view the arrow as phallic. Through that lens, it looks like Peyronie’s disease. Jeffy’s shaved head helped.

Fraser's avatar

By a mile, Mike!!

Sarah Perreten's avatar

Well, there's Elon. And Mark

Michael Hutchinson's avatar

Oh paleese, just tax the man and ignore the rest.

Glenn Sills's avatar

I know I probably shouldn't criticize someone based just on their looks, but the super rich person make over is just wierd. It is a characatuer of a pretty woman rather than a pretty woman look.

Mary Roeser's avatar

It's not pretty. She looks more like the sort of woman who rents herself out by the hour.

Christine's avatar

She was very pretty before she agreed to marry him.

Then either he wanted her "different" or she wanted her "different".

Personally, I wouldn't want to have to carry that "rack" around all day.

My back would be killing me. Doesn't she know they'll be around her waist someday?

Mary Roeser's avatar

I imagine Bozo thinks he can force gravity out of business.

Mark Mazzie's avatar

She's looking increasingly like Melania

Glenn Sills's avatar

To me, she doesn't look entirely human.

Rick Fitzgerald's avatar

Sorry. My immediate reaction seeing that photo was laughter. Didn't expect that! Talk about conspicuous consumption!

Merrill's avatar

Trump, the GREAT avenger of all injustice said it perfectly when he tweeted that he can't end the war (action) against Iran now because they haven't "suffered enough yet" for their crimes against "Humanity and the World". WOW! Now he's the one-man International Criminal Court while he screws over his own populist base in America and pumps a massive flow of tax free cash to his oligarch allies like Bezos, the Ellison's, Peter Thiel, who happily float around on their yachts, flaunt it at the MET and buy up the media to propagandize for the rights of the Rich. Robert is right on target. Retribution is coming for the whole Gilded bunch of these guys (and their Babes, like Ms. Balloon Boos Lauren Sanchez)

Carol Shuman Ph.D.'s avatar

I would like to see retribution for the disgusting Amazon employee who ordered CPR stopped and left a man dead in a huge workspace for at least an hour and instructed employees just not to look.

As for Amazon, my retribution: join Prime, order gobs of inexpensive (I mean VERY cheap, and not hard to find there) junk—always in separate orders and individual packages—and NEVER the same day—and enjoy the Amazon delivery person (mistreated and poorly paid, sadly) pulling up to the house—(I hope they don’t have to pay for their own gas—but that wouldn’t surprise me) with the tiny, individually wrapped package with “free” delivery! I’m sure my little contribution means nothing to Bezos or his pocketbook—but it’s my small gift to him and the missus!

Linda MacDonald's avatar

If Bezos' wife fell overboard from their zillion dollar yacht given her made over lips and inflated "bazooms" she would not need a life preserver! This crowd is totally bizarre...Sigh...

Nancy L. Hoffmann's avatar

Bezos has bought himself a lifetime supply of melons, judging from his wife's plastically-altered porch.

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

She is definitely demeaning herself, however, she probably gets money from him! That's called a prostitute!

Christy Barnes's avatar

Prostitutes have more self-respect than she does.

Nancy L. Hoffmann's avatar

It used to be called a "bird in a gilded cage". But that was before my time – really!

David Apgar's avatar

Now that the tech sector has run out of both new ideas (remember AI goes back to the 1950s) and public support, we're simply witnessing the Rise of the Most Disgusting.

Helen Block's avatar

Makes me proud that I've never used Amazon ...early on in its existence I noted some out of print records and books and thought about purchasing them... then read a bit about Bezos and even then was turned off...

Rhana Bazzini's avatar

I'm with you! First I hate any kind of shopping. Second at 93 I'm sure I couldn't figure out how to do it online anyway. How very sad that people who have the means to make the world a better place and be heroes wind up looking like cartoons.

Appalling. Like trumps gatsby party.
