Born in Clayton, Alabama, she learned the art of dressmaking from her mother and grandmother, both skilled seamstresses. Despite facing significant racial barriers, Lowe's talent led her to design dresses for prominent families, including the Rockefellers, the du Ponts, and the Kennedys.Her most famous creation was Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress in 1953, a masterpiece completed under extraordinary circumstances. Lowe's work was known for its meticulous craftsmanship, hand-sewn details, and elegant designs, yet she received little recognition during her lifetime. Financial struggles and the racial discrimination she faced often overshadowed her achievements. Today, Ann Lowe is celebrated as a trailblazer in the fashion industry, whose contributions continue to inspire and influence designers around the world.About Elizabeth Way:Elizabeth Way is a curator who specializes in fashion history, particularly focusing on the intersection of fashion and African American culture. Elizabeth has curated several exhibitions, including "Black Fashion Designers" and "Fabric In Fashion," which highlight the contributions of Black designers and the significance of textiles in fashion. She also co-edited the book "Black Designers in American Fashion," contributing to scholarship and public understanding of the impact of Black designers in the fashion industry.

Op Independence Day, de laatste voordat volgend jaar in Amerika de voorverkiezingen en de partijconventies weer losbarsten, besteden we in Betrouwbare Bronnen altijd aandacht aan de Amerikaanse politiek.Voorlopig gaat de strijd om wie zich de uitdager van Joe Biden mag noemen namens de Republikeinse partij. En de cruciale beslissing daarover zal waarschijnlijk niet vallen in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), waar de conventie wordt gehouden, maar in Palm Beach (Florida).Daar, in de Mar-A-Lago Club, vond geheime dienst FBI onthutsende documenten. Onderzoeksrechter Jack Smith heeft aan de hand daarvan hoofdbewoner oud-president Donald Trump aangeklaagd. Alle reden voor Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger om zich te verdiepen in het kleurrijke, overvloedig luxueuze en ook politiek adembenemende verhaal van Mar-a-Lago. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nlOp sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst vind je altijd hier***Tussen 1923 en 1927 bouwde de rijkste vrouw van Amerika daar haar droomkasteel. Marjorie Merriweather Post (1887-1973) was al bij leven een legende. Niet alleen erfde ze enorm veel van haar vader, een cornflakes-gigant, met haar ondernemerstalent bouwde ze een imperium in de voedselindustrie. Haar hobby's waren het verzamelen van kunst en juwelen op een ongekende schaal en het huwen en scheiden van rijke mannen.Mar-a-Lago werd haar grootste project. Kosten nog moeite werden gespaard. Ze zou er in huidige valuta zo'n $120 miljoen in steken. Haar verzameldrift kende grenzen noch scrupules. PG vertelt hoe zij met haar derde echtgenoot een populair vriendenstel werd van het Kremlin van Jozef Stalin. In korte tijd graaide zij een unieke collectie oud-Russische kunst bijeen, Stalin daarbij helpend aan harde dollars.Hoe Donald Trump de eigenaar werd, is even avontuurlijk en gewetenloos als de verzameldrift van Marjorie Post. We laten een trotse Trump horen die in 1986 een rondleiding geeft in zijn zojuist aangekochte spektakelgebouw. Sindsdien werd Mar-a-Lago Trumps eigen feestpodium, een golfclub en resort voor de rijken en bewonderaars. Hoe hij erde Chinese leider Xi Jin Ping ontving en er de meest geheime militaire informatie aan hem en alle aanwezigen toonde is adembenemend.En het resort schrijft nu natuurlijk geschiedenis als opslagplaats van dozen met geheime dossiers uit Trumps Witte Huis. Stapels daarvan in badkamers, klerenkasten en achter het gordijn van het podium van de balzaal zullen nog vele decennia in de geschiedenisboekjes staan afgebeeld.Trumps finest hour in Mar-a-Lago was in 2005. Toen trouwde hij er met zijn derde echtgenote, Melania Knavs uit Slovenië. Met als eregasten Hillary en Bill Clinton!Wat gaat er met Trump gebeuren nu hij onder vuur ligt van onderzoeksrechter Jack Smith? En wat is de toekomst van Mar-a-Lago? Schenkt Melania het ooit aan de National Archives, zoals Lady Bird Johnson deed met de iconische LBJ Ranch in Texas? Of verkoopt schoonzoon Jared Kushner het aan de Saoedische kroonprins?***Verder luisteren345 - Leiders op leeftijd. Krasse knar Joe Biden is niet de enige319 - Lyndon B.

We had a good discussion of The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post in January. In February we'll be discussing Sawbones by Melissa Linhardt. DB 88004 The synopsis from Bookshare is below. Note from Alan: Those present at the 1/20/23 meeting be aware that the incorrect DB number for Sawbones was given at the meeting. Outlander meets post-Civil War unrest in this fast-paced historical debut.When Dr. Catherine Bennett is wrongfully accused of murder, she knows her fate likely lies with a noose unless she can disappear. Fleeing with a bounty on her head, she escapes with her maid to the uncharted territories of Colorado to build a new life with a new name. Although the story of the murderess in New York is common gossip, Catherine's false identity serves her well as she fills in as a temporary army doctor. But in a land unknown, so large and yet so small, a female doctor can only hide for so long. Host: Randi Shelton E-Mail: rshelton820@gmail.com Co-Host Ruth ann Acosta, E-Mail: ruth1244@gmail.com

Mrs. Post, the President and First Lady are here to see you. So begins another average evening for Marjorie Merriweather Post. Presidents have come and gone, but she has hosted them all. Growing up in the modest farmlands of Battle Creek, Michigan, Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard—even when deemed American royalty, even while covered in imperial diamonds. Marjorie had an insatiable drive to live and love and to give more than she got. From crawling through Moscow warehouses to rescue the Tsar's treasures to outrunning the Nazis in London, from serving the homeless of the Great Depression to entertaining Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Hollywood's biggest stars, Marjorie Merriweather Post lived an epic life few could imagine. Marjorie's journey began gluing cereal boxes in her father's barn as a young girl. No one could have predicted that C. W. Post's Cereal Company would grow into the General Foods empire and reshape the American way of life, with Marjorie as its heiress and leading lady. Not content to stay in her prescribed roles of high-society wife, mother, and hostess, Marjorie dared to demand more, making history in the process. Before turning thirty she amassed millions, becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States. But it was her life-force, advocacy, passion, and adventurous spirit that led to her stunning legacy. And yet Marjorie's story, though full of beauty and grandeur, set in the palatial homes she built such as Mar-a-Lago, was equally marked by challenge and tumult. A wife four times over, Marjorie sought her happily-ever-after with the blue-blooded party boy who could not outrun his demons, the charismatic financier whose charm turned to betrayal, the international diplomat with a dark side, and the bon vivant whose shocking secrets would shake Marjorie and all of society. Marjorie did everything on a grand scale, especially when it came to love. Bestselling and acclaimed author Allison Pataki has crafted an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life woman, a powerful story of one woman falling in love with her own voice and embracing her own power while shaping history in the process. Join us in this zoom meeting to discuss this great book. Host: Randi Shelton E-Mail: rshelton820@gmail.com Co-Host Ruth ann Acosta, E-Mail: ruth1244@gmail.com

This week Melanie and I kick off the episode with a recap of My Weekend with Martha (maybe that should be trademarked), which was super fun (you can imagine! can't you just imagine?!), and we talk about this new season of life where our kids aren't around very much. This basically makes us feel like we're dating the people we've been married to for 25 years.  Also, Melanie fills us in on a movie she loved, we both have rave reviews for a TV show we adore, and we break down the AP college football poll that came out this week (spoiler alert: Melanie continues to give Notre Dame the side-eye). As always, we wrap up with Five Favorites - it's Melanie's turn this week. And just a reminder: next week is our 300th episode and our 15th podcast-i-versary. We have some fun giveaways planned - because we want to be sure to celebrate the milestones! :-) Hope y'all enjoy episode 299!  - Our Amazon Shop - Join Us on Patreon Show Notes: - The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki (this is going to be our September Book Club book on Patreon) - Vengeance - Alamo Drafthouse - Never Have I Ever - The Wedding Season - Better Call Saul - BIOAQUA Gold Osmanthus Lemon Eye Mask - Sally Hansen Treatment Cuticle Rehab - Universal Thread oversized button down shirt - Project 62 gold gallery frame - Juniper print shop Sponsors: - Stamps.com (use promo code BIGBOO for a four-week trial that includes free postage and a digital scale) - Reel (use promo code BIGBOO to get 30% off your first order plus free shipping) - Helix (use our link for up to $200 off a mattress and two free pillows) - Munk Pack (use promo code BIGBOO for 20% off your first order) - Hello Fresh (use promo code BIGBOO for 16 free meals across 7 boxes and 3 free gifts)

John Searles joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about his latest novel, Her Last Affair. The book opens with the sentence, “Every marriage has its secrets," and those secrets are what drive the plot. Skyla is a burnt-out nurse stuck with the regrets of her marriage and her late husband, Linelle is bored in her long-time marriage, and Jeremy is reminiscing on heartbreak. The book has been described as a Coen brothers picture, and that description is dead on. John's first idea for this book came as he traveled home to see his mom and saw a closed drive-in movie theatre. There is something iconic and mysterious about this setting. John and Carol both worked in magazines and they spend some time doing a homage to what was with magazines, and about what has changed about them. They also used to have gossipy conversations on 57th Street when they worked nearby each other, and this interview is like taking you behind the scenes for one of their dishy chats.

Kimberly Belle, the author of My Darling Husband talks to Carol Fitzgerald in our latest Bookreporter Talks To interview. The book takes a small-scale home invasion that Jade Lasky and her two children face, and ramps it into a high octane, life and death situation. Jade's husband, Cam, must come up with a very specific ransom. Jade questions how well she knows her husband and his supposedly successful restaurant business. Kimberly talks about “the steak king” of Atlanta's ins and outs of the restaurant business, and how looks can deceive folks. She also talks about how she strove to create characters who would be realistic up against these odds. They chat about the Killer Author Club series that she is doing with Heather Gudenkauf and Kaira Rouda on Facebook.

Brendan Slocumb talks to Carol Fitzgerald about his much acclaimed debut novel, The Violin Conspiracy, which was a Good Morning America Book Club selection and a Bookreporter Bets On pick. The novel follows Ray McMillian, who discovers a love of playing the violin, but is unable to afford an instrument of his own. When he takes his family heirloom violin in for repairs, it is found to be a Stradivarius and suddenly there is a lot of attention to it --- and him. Shortly before his appearance at the biggest classic music competition in the world, his violin is stolen, and Ray needs millions of dollars for ransom. Brendan talks about how he came to write the book, which he wrote over the course of a few months. They discuss the pacing and many of the characters who mirror people from his own life. He also discusses his life as a musician and the similarities between music and writing, and the ways he uses music to influence the reader.

Allison Pataki talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her latest historical fiction, The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Marjorie created an amazing life for herself. She served as a host to presidents, accompanied her husband as an ambassador to the Soviet Union, and changed how Americans ate. The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post tells the true story of how she made the journey from small town farm girl to a world of wealth, influence, and high society. Allison talks to Carol about discovering Marjorie's story and the ways Marjorie balanced her societal, political, and charity efforts. And yes, they dish about her four marriages. It's a lively conversation about a woman and a book that could make for a great book group discussion.
