Nixon goes to China.

It's Christopher Nixon Cox, the grandson of Richard Nixon.
The 34-year-old investment banker was joined by his Andrea Castimatidis - the daughter of supermarket billionaire and New York City mayoral hopeful John Castimatidis - who stood out in a plunging red dress to match her husband's tie.
"His Andrea Castimatidis"? How many other guys get an Andrea Castimatidis? Are the other Andrea Castimatidises that the nongrandsons-of-Presidents get also daughters of billionaires who want to be mayors? And do they all look that weird?

Do all these couples stand hand-almost-in-hand and pose with the image of Chairman Mao between their 2 heads?

ADDED: So, the missing word in the linked Daily Mail article is "wife." The strange looking pair is actually a marital unit. Here's the NYT "vows" article on the occasion of their wedding. 
Throughout the summer of 2008, Ms. Catsimatidis and Mr. Cox kept seeing each other at political events. “We’d have these great conversations,” Mr. Cox said. “We think about a lot of things the same way.”

The more she saw him, the more she, too, became impressed. And as she did, their 11-year age difference seemed to melt away. But she did not always see him as a potential boyfriend. “I was always drawn to him,” she said. “But it didn’t cross my mind until a whole bunch of my friends said, ‘You should date him.’ ”...

“We knew from the beginning we wanted to marry each other,” Mr. Cox said. “We believe in love at first sight.”
And love at first girlfriends saying "You should date him." But why did they say that? She wasn't even 18 when she met him. She didn't think of him as a potential boyfriend. And her strict father had never permitted her to date. Now billionaire dad is running for mayor and the couple is in China posing around the same monuments once posed around by Pat and Dick Nixon.

Thankfully he isn't named Dick Cox

Amy કહ્યું...

I cannot believe this woman was on an official trip of ANY sort (other than for Penthouse) and would wear a dress like that. Does she have NO judgement? Does her husband have NO judgement? Do they have no advisers? This is beyond ridiculous. She looks like a caricature.

TML કહ્યું...

Good Lord, what's wrong with her face? What's the name of those puppets that look like her?

Sorun કહ્યું...

The Catsimatidis family is a bit odd-looking, but, whoa, look at that rack!

MrCharlie2 કહ્યું...

Face ?

Michael K કહ્યું...

She looks like her father except for the tits. They look expensive. Nice job.

TML કહ્યું...

Not Fraggle Rock...ummmm....

Pastafarian કહ્યું...

Why do you people have to be so boorish, objectifying a woman like that? Let me just click through...

Holy shit, get a load of those sweater-monsters.

Eric the Fruit Bat કહ્યું...

While the guy's over there, maybe he could stop over at Hong Kong and pick up a couple of decent suits.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

bad suit,

overdone tits

bad taste all around

edutcher કહ્યું...

They did manage to slip in the word, "wife", in the caption and, yes, that's what you mean when you say, "Trophy wife".

Rob કહ્યું...

The photograph of Andrea Catsimatidis and her father John is going to haunt my nightmares.

Charlie કહ્યું...

They're real....and they're spectacular!

I feel so dirty right now.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

This is my Andrea Castimatidis. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

TML કહ્યું...

Not Peppermint Park...no...c'mon, she looks just like one of those over-earnest puppets from a kids show (probably PBS). Just look at her face. It's on the tip of my tongue...

Tibore કહ્યું...

"How many other guys get an Andrea Castimatidis?"

I don't get an Andrea Castimatidis :( . But I'll "settle" for a Kate Beckinsale, if one's available.

It's her father's face. She's actually doing much better with it than he is.

That is quite a rack though. Not exactly Pat Nixon.

I was glad to see some of the earlier photos of the Mrs. Shows that she did not dress in red just for the China trip.

The Mao-Nixon handshake photo is one of my all time faves. Two mega alphas in a perfect standoff. I think they were actually enjoying it.

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

The drapes don't match the carpets.

Calypso Facto કહ્યું...

If the dress, chest, and shoes are any indication, polls were important in her last career as well ...

Rabel કહ્યું...

Let's not be so cruel.

I bet she has a wonderful personality.

Calypso Facto કહ્યું...

Just look at her face. It's on the tip of my tongue...

a) Your tongue is on her face?

b) For the eyebrows alone: ALF.

Steve કહ્યું...

Clearly money can't buy taste.

It should be able to buy clothes that fit though.

Anthony કહ્યું...

"his Andrea..." is probably an editing slip, where they accidentally deleted the word "wife". The Daily Mail is not known for its copy-editing.

She has her father's face, which is a greater misfortune on her than on her father.

VanderDouchen કહ્યું...

I want a pair of those.

William કહ્યું...

All that, and she'll inherit millions. He could have gone farther and done worse. They do seem a bit mismatched. She looks exuberant, and he looks stifled. Opposites attract, and put anyone opposite that and they're attracted.

VanderDouchen કહ્યું...

Adding: I did not know they were called that. I learned something today. Andrea Castimatidis. I only knew them by their lay term - tidis.

Freeman Hunt કહ્યું...

This is too strange.

dbp કહ્યું...

It is one of those quirks of biology: An unattractive but successful man marries a beautiful woman.

They have kids who inherit her intellegence and his looks.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

That woman is only 23!

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

"It is one of those quirks of biology: An unattractive but successful man marries a beautiful woman."

Where?

Cody Jarrett કહ્યું...

Should make Althouse happy--Nixon's grandbaby in a gay marriage!

Cuz there's no way that's not a drag queen.

And a pretty low rent one at that, you'd think the grandbaby of a POTUS could get at least a middle shelf DQ.

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

"Pasty legacy-admit poses in China with his favorite blow-up doll."

Cheryl કહ્યું...

There are so many things money can't buy.

RecChief કહ્યું...

looking at their pictures, the only thought that came to mind was "Russian Mail order bride". That isn't fair, but there it is.

SteveR કહ્યું...

That Jet Lag can play hell on some folks

VanderDouchen કહ્યું...

I see the womenz are looking at her face. I didn't notice her homeliness, only here castimatidis.

Titus કહ્યું...

The woman is a billionaire.

She should be able to pay for a better look.

The make up is hideous. The dress awful.

But those tits, my God. You know he has titty fucked her with that rack.

tits.

X કહ્યું...

I think she's attractive. why is althouse acting weird about her looks?

I Have Misplaced My Pants કહ્યું...

Well, I was raised in a sophisticated kind of style.
Yeah, my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild.
Mom and Dad had a plan for me,
It was debutantes and celebraties,
But I like my music hot and like my women wild.

Yeah, an' I like my women just a little on the trashy side,
When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed.
Too much lipstick an' er too much rouge,
Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused.
An' I like my women just a little on the trashy side.

You should've seen the looks on the faces of my Dad and Mom,
When I showed up at the door with a date for the senior prom.
They said: "Well, pardon us, son, she ain't no kid.
That's a cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig."
I said: "I know it, dad. Ain't she cool, That's the kind I dig."

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

That woman is only 23!

I think that explains some things. A lot of women don't grow into their looks 'til they're 30 or so. Hadn't realized she was so young -- her face looks young, the rest of her not so much IMO.

I hate to be judged by how I looked -- Jesus-like! -- at 23.

Crunchy Frog કહ્યું...

Billionaire dad couldn't spring for a nose job to go along with the rack?

Chip S. કહ્યું...

Althouse, have you considered the possibility that dbp is referring to the parents of the people you're writing about?

dbp કહ્યું...

Yes, I meant her parents.

I just call them Richard. :D

Methadras કહ્યું...

I can see why he married her. It was for her personality and that amazing hair.

FedkaTheConvict કહ્યું...

Dude's suit makes him like look like a casino pit boss.

And what's with the caterpillars crawling above his wife's eyes?

William કહ્યું...

She's the granddaughter of a billionaire, but that's not an old money look. Her very crassness makes her attractive. She looks like she enjoys her money and her sex appeal. She's got a lot of life force. She doesn't look like she would go down with the Titanic. In contradistinction, Cox looks like he's inherited his grandfater's discomfiture with his own skin. They're an odd couple. One wonders about their backstory and the durability of their marriage.

Butter Face!!

Everything but'er face!!

They can still find Mao in the building across the street from where the picture was taken.

Sayyid કહ્યું...

"Do all these couples stand hand-almost-in-hand and pose..."

That's one way of describing 'his hand is planted firmly on her ass.'

અજ્ઞાત કહ્યું...

Money buys her boobs but not class. She looks even worse than Mrs. O's thousand dollars outfit when she visited the Queen.

How many New Yorkers will vote for a Nixon in-law?

Smilin' Jack કહ્યું...

@ TML: Cabbage Patch Kids.

I hope it's just some kind of allergic reaction. If it's permanent it makes the boob job kind of pointless.

Chip Ahoy કહ્યું...

TML, Lazy Town puppets?

Crunchy Frog કહ્યું...

@Chip

How long before Stephanie starts showing up in Skinemax features?

ampersand કહ્યું...

John Catsimatidis look's like Thomas Nast's drawing of Boss Tweed.

Dark Mediterranean women should not go blonde,this girl would look a lot better using her natural assets.

He's heir to one of America's longest political dynasties

I don't think the author understands the meaning of dynasty.

Maybe this is part of that new 'Dennis Rodman' Asian diplomacy blast.

Unknown કહ્યું...

Somewhere in the Bible there's a verse about the sins of the father being visited on the next generations.
First Malcom X's grandson now this!

FleetUSA કહ્યું...

She dresses like a bimbo. What taste. Is that the only red dress she had?

Belial કહ્યું...

Mao to RN: "I just had a vision of your granddaughter."

JAL કહ્યું...

The reds don't match.

The dress is grossly inappropriate.

Did she have a mother?

Her father was overprotective?
