"'It’s a timeless bridal look,' says hairstylist Xavier Velasquez—who met Biden through her longtime brow artist Azi Sacks—of the sculptural bun look he crafted. "

That's just 2 of "All the Details Behind Naomi Biden’s Timeless Wedding Day Beauty" (Vogue).

Imagine having a "longtime brow artist." Imagine "crafting" a "sculptural bun look." It's not just a bun. It's a crafted sculptural bun look.

In Vogue. Which also has "Exclusive: Naomi Biden on Her White House Wedding."

 

I would not have posed Jill like that. Too evocative of Joe Biden's hair-inhalation propensities. But I mainly wanted you to see what longtime brow artistry and sculptural bun look craftsmanship can do. And I wanted to set up the laugh you'll get when you read what White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said

"The wedding of Naomi Biden and Peter is a private family event. Naomi and Peter have asked that their wedding be a closed to the media and we are respecting their wishes. This is something that the couple has decided."

Elite fashion stylists protect their profit margins through flowery language, even though one can get 'eyebrow threading' at a stall in the mall.

The elite White House inhabitants must protect their profit margins by limiting access to exclusive story vendors.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I wonder if the nightly rate for staying in the Lincoln Bedroom remains the same as it was in under Clinton in the 1990s.

Quayle said...

We want it at the Whitehouse - the peoples house - but we don't want all the people.

We live in a time of unabashed public displays of excessive and exclusive privilege. But I fear for what may be coming. In my view, this is how you get to a raiding of the Bastille. This is how Versailles gets raided and the gilded furniture broken up and burned as mere firewood.

Dave Begley said...

The Vogue people duped Jill into that pose. All part of the conspiracy to get the Bidens out of the White House.

Seriously, how stupid and clueless is Jill? Doesn't she know about Joe and his hair sniffing?

And what about her staff people? Are they idiots too?

"10% for the big guy" goes along way...

"I wanted to set up the laugh you'll get"

Yes, thanks.

They really are completely shameless, aren't they.

No Laptops Were Harmed During This Photoshoot.

Looked at the Vogue cover. Gag me with a spoon! The Valley speaks.

Lurker21 said...

Jilly has a "longtime brow-artist"?

Dr. Jill doesn't look bad in this picture, but this making of Democrat First Ladies into fashion icons is ridiculous when one considers some of the outfits Michelle and Jill wore and the way they wore them.

I would not have posed Jill like that. Too evocative of Joe Biden's hair-inhalation propensities.

On a good day, Joe also got away with a little discrete boob-touching.

It looks to me like she's feeling her up.

Narr said...

Back last night from the American Heartland (KC MO and environs), and first check this morning finds me looking at one of the creepiest magazine cover story photos imaginable.

(I admit that I'm a little jealous as I think what I might have accomplished in life with better eyebrows.)

Is Hunter the groom?

"Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush…"

Leland said...

The wedding of Naomi Biden and Peter is a private family event.

If that's true, then why is it being held in a public venue? If you want privacy, don't use a taxpayer funded venue for your event. I'm sure it is expensive to have secret service to protect another site, but if you choose the White House, you don't get privacy.

mikee said...

I wish the new bride and groom all happiness in their life together, and also hope they can deal with their demented elderly relative with as little pain as possible.

Leland said...

I also like how the private wedding begins with posing for Vogue and that Vogue found the matching sofa for Jill's dress. They don't want a private wedding. They want value for their sale of the exclusive rights to the wedding.

Mr Wibble said...

If they wanted a private event, they should have held it somewhere other than the White House.

Will Cate said...

I weep for humanity that there is a profession called "Brow Artist." But setting that aside... Naomi has a very sheepish look on her face! I'm not sure she's quite on board with this whole thing.

gilbar said...

Private.. on the front cover of Vogue

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Is the bride sitting or lying on her back… it’s kind of a loafer look… I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♂️

RoseAnne said...

It shouldn't have been a surprise that some media outlet got an exclusive on the wedding. One way or the other I don't care that they did despite what the White House staff said.

What I found interesting was how much of the article is spent on Dr. Jill Biden and how little on the mother of the bride. She was only mentioned in that she had Hunter walked the bride down the aisle. They even included that Jill was teaching one of the days. I never tire of hearing how Jill, 70 year-old multi-millionairess, is trucking to campus, with her entourage, to teach a class that could have been a job for a someone just starting out and/or who could have used the money for rent.

The Breyers reference was unnecessary but has probably prompted some high level meetings in Breyers headquarters. You actually can praise one thing without denigrating the competitor.

Iman said...

Naomi Biden and Peter Doocy… suhweeeet!

JK Brown said...

"Too evocative of Joe Biden's hair-inhalation propensities."

Perhaps that is one of the thing Joe and Jill enjoy in common. Sniffing the hair of the young that fall into their clutches.

tim in vermont said...

One more 'fuck you" to Trump supporters.

I hate that the phrase Prima Nocta came to mind when I read your summary.

Elliott A said...

If they didn't want press there are two questions. First, how did Vogue get in and disallow others< and why the hell should "we the people" have paid for the grounds and security!? m Even with the brow artist she is rather homely

Gracelea said...

How Harry and Meghan: we must retreat to get the privacy we need! Now buy our book, watch our interviews, subscribe to our podcast and pay attention as we attempt to insert our issues into pop culture (Racist!)

Caroline said...

Having just gone through my daughters wedding…I became well acquainted with the luxe beauty services many, many millennial women consider routine: weekly mani, bi weekly pedi, lash extensions, brow tattoos. Not to mention how many of the youngsters are already heavily into Botox.
I had a long time to chat with my brow artiste, since the treatment takes around 3 hours and costs $350. She was shocked, shocked! That I was not a consumer of these essential services. (It was a wedding splurge, not a lifestyle.) she also mentioned that her young clients considered buying/saving for a house to be out of reach. Ok they’re not all like that, but it’s definitely a thing. Same cohort tends to be oppressed by student loans. Loan forgiveness is Justice for the People!

PB said...

Why do they get to decide to have a private event on publicly owned government property? Biden should have to pay a $250,000 fee for the use.

Temujin said...

I'm sorry. Who is Naomi Biden?

On a serious note, someone could, and I sure someone will photoshop Joe into the image, replacing Jill, sniffing his granddaughter's hair. I don't try to be provocative. I just predict obvious things about to happen.

Jupiter said...

She has my sympathy. I would not want to be Naomi Biden.

Robert Marshall said...

I guess "closed to the media" doesn't mean what it used to mean.

Robert Marshall said...

Is this high-brow, low-brow or uni-brow artistry?

Joe Smith said...

Too bad Naomi doesn't have a cock to suck (of course nobody is sure these days) because 'Vogue' and the rest of the media would be strapping on their kneepads.

But at least they can suck Joe's dick by proxy, so not all is lost...

donald said...

What’s the over/under on the number of family members that have molested her?

Jupiter said...

You know, looking at that picture, and considering that's the look on her face as she contemplates getting married, I'm glad I'm not the guy she's marrying.

wendybar said...

Where's Vogues coverage of Tiffany Trump?? We all know THAT answer. I wonder if she showered with Grandaddy before the wedding?? Sorry, not sorry, but these grifters should NOT be celebrated when they are selling out America to China and the Ukraine.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

It's Vogue - the Democrat-gush is a F-U to Melania. She was snubbed by all the leftwing Fashion mags. because all the leftwing fashion mags are all owned and ran by leftists with agendas.

Yo females - stop buying that crap.

tim maguire said...

Jill Biden looks like Carmela Soprano. Which is fitting.

Birches said...

What a weird picture. She's Hunter's daughter right? Because mom had enough self respect to tell the truth about Hunter, she's been pushed aside in favor of Grandma Jill? Or is it the media just trying hard to make fetch happen? Either way, it's weird.

tim maguire said...

PB said...Why do they get to decide to have a private event on publicly owned government property?

Because it's Joe's home. People have weddings at their home. It's a thing.

wendybar said...

Temujin, Don't know if you can see it, but here's the first photoshop picture I've seen. Pretty funny too. https://mewe.com/api/v2/photo/sCQlhta5fcnSLTBA_ILw0X4c-JZibpi9l66n_rud1spjfPIZt-viSjRkuHA/800x800/img?static=0

realestateacct said...

I think it's great how a middle class Joe can spend like a billionaire.

Rusty said...

I think it would be worth it if one of the catering staff smuggled in a video camera and got some footage of bumbling Joe making a complete ass out of himself.

Lawlizard said...

There is a meme comparing Jill Biden’s clothes to upholstery, as in who wore it better, Jill or the couch. This plays into that.

Kevin said...

It's a crafted sculptural bun look.

If Tiffany Trump had wanted that look, should he have been forced to give it to her?

Ann Althouse said...

Jill seems to be wearing some sort of highly ineffective chain mail.

Incest is their thing, it reminds me of the picture of Oprah introducing that frightened young actress to Weinstein.

So that's what's keeping malls in business nowadays.

Lurker21 said...

Or is it Naomi who has the "long-time brow artist"? She ought to have a better one. She has thick manbrows.

We don't have the guest list for the wedding. Security reasons I suppose. It's a pity. It could have been a bit like the reviewing stand at the Kremlin's May Day parades. Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug weren't there. It looked to me like Gavin Newsom was there, but now I think it's just another Biden relative with Gavin's signature haircut.

Leland said...

Oh my, another picture of a Biden wrapping their arms around and sniffing a young girl's hair. What is with this family?

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Is this a tax payer funded wedding?

Martha said...

It appears that Naomi’s actual mother was excluded from all the wedding preparations. Sad.

What's emanating from your penumbra said...

How the hell does anyone think it's ok to host a private family wedding at the white house? If that's what they're really doing. I didn't read it because the Bidens suck with or without hosting a private family wedding at the White House.

Michael K said...

No problem with the bills for wedding, I assume. Brandon has lots of Chinese dollars stashed away. Plus the free house.

Breezy said...

Gotta love these impromptu tender private moments between a grandmother and a step-grandchild. Only they know what’s just been whispered….but we can guess.

I see Jill's dress and all I can think of is Pinhead from Hellraiser...

Last time I checked, the White House belonged to the people of the United States.

Joe just happens to live there...

Avian said...

In the meantime,...Joe has a little grandaughter in Arkansas who will never be subjected to a creepy caress from Jill.

Amadeus 48 said...

"Jill seems to be wearing some sort of highly ineffective chain mail."

Jill's normal attire evokes sofas at their most floral--a comforting conceit on her part, but mutton dressed as lamb for sure.

We need to talk about Anna Wintour. Can she be trusted at the controls of Vogue? Has she taken a cognitive assessment recently? Vogue is too important to be left in the hands of a senescent editor-in-chief and global chief content officer.

Michelle Obama stands ready to stage an intervention, I am sure. She is ready to bust out that Afro for which she has yearned ever since high school. I saw recently that she said that she straightened her hair to get Obamacare passed. Curious, that. Only Democrats voted for it. So who was she trying to please? But then, the Dems are the party of slavery and Jim Crow, so there you go. One would think that all those college-educated, suburban folks would be embarrassed to vote for such a crew, but bigotry doesn't care what zip code you reside in.

Readering said...

That's some wedding dress train. She does look lovely in that Grace Kelly (my fav) dress. But WH should have seen carping coming. Unforced error.

What a strange and awkward pose. I don’t know a whole lot of 28 year old women who lounge on their grandmothers like that.

Is that Hunters daughter? I wonder if that little preschool half-sister she has from the stripper in Arkansas was at the wedding.

That whole crew is such a trashy bunch

Kate said...

The kid has Hunter for a dad. How many times has she seen the photo of him drugged in his underwear? I wish her happiness.

D.D. Driver said...

Ah yes! The classic bride and step-grandma photoshoot. I guess we can't have a bride and mother photo now can we. ��

These people need to stop preaching to me about the patriarchy if you need to appear on the cover of Vogue with your dad's step mommy instead of the woman whose life he ruined.

Jason said...

Is this parody? If so, it's brilliant.

Mutaman said...

"I would not have posed Jill like that. Too evocative of Joe Biden's hair-inhalation propensities."

Althouse space cadet gibberish at its finest. Not "but the letters "NIG" are set apart by a fold in the fabric", but its up there.

She likes her cage gilded. And it's "Dr. Jill" to you, mere Professor.

i thought, Joe's home was in Delaware? WHEN did he purchase the White House? What'd THAT cost him?

seriously Naomi? TWO WORDS: Tweezers

It looks like the promotional materials for a new sit-com on NBC.

Kind of like having a wedding at the apartment clubhouse.

JML said...

A private affair? Sure. Then why are there all these fracking pictures of it!? Anywho, is she the daughter Brandon used to shower with?

Martha said...

It was a wedding to end ALL weddings and even given the free venue—the White House—it must have been very very expensive. The wedding was far more splashy than daughter Ashley Biden’s wedding held in Joe Biden’s backyard in Wilmington, Delaware when Joe was Vice President in 2012. Unlike daughter Ashley, granddaughter Naomi had a made to order dress for the rehearsal dinner, the wedding ceremony, AND 2 different dresses for the reception the night of the wedding.
So how did Joe Biden—long the poorest member of the Senate—pay for such a wedding?
Big influx of $$$$$$$$$$$ from 2012 to 2022.

walter said...

Private wedding in the public's house.
Perfect expression for a scheming Biden.
Bless her heart.

walter said...

Mutaman experiences exposure to Biden the child sniffer meme for the first time.
Enjoy!

donald said...

I’m sure she’s seen him (Hunter) without underwear on many occasions Kate.

There is no way she hasn’t been sexually assaulted by members of her family.

Tina Trent said...

Pretty dumb time to draw attention to Biden's dysfunctional family. And ridiculous wife.

LBJ's daughter's White House wedding was televised. Nixon's daughter's wedding was also covered by the media. Both events were open to the public that way.

The Bidens sold their grand daughter's wedding to Vogue Magazine. What don't they sell?
