I thought about Sharon Stone in Casino when I saw Babe Paley in bed. Remember that scene where Ginger is just gleefully laying there, surrounded by trays and trays of gold Bulgari? Jewelry people are semi-obsessed with it.
The scene in episode two of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans is the same, but different. We are not in Vegas anymore. Paley, wearing a nightgown and a massive strand of pearls, has invited her friend Slim Keith for a visit. Paley, like Ginger, is surrounded by jewels, but these she says, are the bejeweled apologies after each of her husband Bill's infidelities. "The affairs end," Keith exclaims, "but the jewelry remains!" In Ryan Murphy's series, she has been summoned to the Paley residence at 820 Fifth Avenue to choose the piece she wants after Babe, diagnosed with cancer, is gone. "The Verdura?" Lady Keith asks after spotting a rubellite Pebble bracelet on a tray. That one, Paley tells her, was to atone for an affair with Happy Rockefeller.
The scene itself might never have really happened, but the jewelry? That stuff is real. Paley and Keith both had plenty of it. There is the story of Keith's legendary amethyst Tiffany cross brooch, the one she ordered after visiting his salon with her friend Diana Vreeland and buying a pair of oxidized cufflinks and wondering what he might do with some amethysts she had at home. Keith also several Verdura pieces ordered throughout her life.
As she says, "the jewelry remains!" A browse through the Verdura archives reveals that even as her husbands changed, Keith and Verdura played on. Paley too was was a devoted Verdura, Tiffany & Co, and Van Cleef & Arpels client. So what jewels could have realistically been in those trays all across Paley's bed had that scene actually played out? |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and
