Supposedly, at the time of the rape in the Bergdorf-Goodman dressing room, E. Jean Carroll was wearing a coat dress. So if that photo is "the" dress, you are both correct.

That her husband was a Black man...

... that puts a whole other side to this.

Excellent point.

Looking. Yeah, out of line I suppose.

Did you get a sticker? Are they still a thing there?

I didn't know there was such a thing as a coat dress.

The look on Ivana's face says it all.

I'm with you 100%. I believe that E. Jean Carroll's intelligence and tenacity will prevail. Trump losing the election, and then having to give up his DNA in a rape case he's been desperately avoiding…cosmic chef's kiss.

Carroll wrote a biography about HST in the early 90's, which she attempted in a Gonzo-style--even on the back flap it's described as 'a biography in a fictional framework'--and I never read anything where he actually praised or criticized it. This is the main reason I've never thought she was very interesting as a writer, but I certainly don't doubt her Trump story.

Knew about the bio. Haven't read it.

First I didn't believe it was possible for any U.S. President to be worse than Nixon. Then I didn't believe one could be worse than Reagan. (Who had one of the most crooked, corrupt administrations his country had seen, even aside from the Iran-Contra thing.) Then I didn't believe one could possibly be worse than GWB's and Cheney the Ghoul's.And then came we know who.And the fucking rubber-spined Australian establishment tagged along supinely with all of them.

I only read it in 93, when it came out...I still have it, but haven't read it since.
