Crazy Fact: In 2006, a Coca-Cola employee offered to sell Coca-Cola secrets to Pepsi. Pepsi responded by notifying Coca-Cola.

This was fascinating. I wish he would have talked more about what failed with JFK. Could that have been prevented at that time, why wasn’t it?

  @Mashaal Tarar Thank you for that link. It was impossible for them to cover and secure every building on that route, nothing they could have prevented, unfortunately

The two things that you don’t forget about the air force one (the big one) is how small it is inside and how enormous the engines are. I was one it once.

For Along Came a Spider, I believe it was a senator’s daughter, not the president’s daughter. I’m not sure why she would have a detail at all.

The comment about the chances of someone being in the flower shop that will assassinate the president being low I think is funny cause the event that sparked world war 1 was the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand and it was actually at a random stop he made at a sandwich shop after a parade where the men who assassinated him failed. It was pure chance. Point being the secret service apprehension is very justified and shows they do their job well

I found myself, quite by accident, in the midst of Dr. Biden and her agents at the college when she was Second Lady. My company had given me specific instructions on how to behave around the detail. When I realized it, I immediately raised both hands and said “oh sh*t I’m sorry!” They just waved me along. Dr. Biden smiled and said hello. It was so low key I didn’t realize it until I was right on top of them.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

2 days ago

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
