I'm seeing a lot about the Jeff Bezos wedding, but how do we know he's really getting married?

There are motivations to put on this big show that are separate from any reasons to enter a marriage in the legal sense.

Consider this: "The embarrassing truth Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez haven't revealed about their $20m 'wedding'" (Daily Mail)(reporting that a Venetian official supposedly said no registrar had been appointed for the ceremony).

And here's the NYT: "What to Know About the Wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez/The second marriage for both is taking place in Venice, Italy, under a shroud of secrecy and amid a swarm of speculation": "Italy has a variety of rules surrounding marriage rites, which can involve religious ceremonies, often performed in Roman Catholic churches. The Sánchez-Bezos wedding, however, will be nondenominational, likely of a ceremonial nature."

What I want to know about that couple is why, with all their money, they have, both of them, engineered their face into that post-human fright mask?


Why would the wedding be any less fake than the faces?

And here's Tina Brown: 
The Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sánchez (circa $56 million) Venice-sinking nuptials, tying up every tender on the Grand Canal (and 90 private jets expected), is the big beautiful buster bomb of high-net-worth exhibitionism. Now that the 55- year-old bride Sánchez has proved that landing the fourth richest man in the world requires the permanent display of breasts like genetically modified grapefruit and behemoth buttocks bursting from a leopard-print thong bikini, she’s exuberantly and unapologetically shown that the route to power and glory for women hasn't changed since the first Venetian Republic.

It's amazing that Musk is the most restrained of the hyper-billionaires in his personal life, and he runs a seraglio.

Now that there is some damn good writin’!

Make that a Coke Zero, but I'm in that camp.

Everyone has a kink. Somehow she does it for him. Not my style by any measure.

That woman is a ghoul. It is a shame the world's richest man can only attract a 3.

from the linked article comments-

"Genius. For months now I've been trying to put together a jumbled, poorly written sentence to describe this romance and you did it so brilliantly."

Too funny!

Oddly, she plunks his magic twanger.

I think the Divorce is also going to be of a "ceremonial nature" as well.

And God created “Woman”!

I wonder what the return policy will be…

Tina ... MEOW!!

When you're a billionaire, what do you hope for out of a marriage that takes place well after you made your billions? I mean, it can't be great sex - that's way cheaper than marriage. It can't be a "helpmeet" - that's what all your employees and household and body servants are for. Companionship? Again, can't you just pay someone to listen to you and make thoughtful comments? Or, since you're a tech billionaire in this case, why not just talk with your pet AI?

I guess I'm glad that hope springs eternal, but I don't see what the upside is for Bezos.

One Eye said...

That poor bastard. His best days were early/mid Amazon. Would not trade places with him now.

"Glory"? I notice she never leveled these strange thoughts at Lauren Jobs or John Dingell's widow or "Doctor" Jill or Hillary etc. etc.

Tina didn't get an invite!

gilbar said...

so, let's assume..
let's assume that YOU are one of The Richest Men, in the History of the World.
You have uncounted BILLIONS of dollars..
You decide to get married.. AND YOU PICK THAT THING??
you decide to have sex.. AND YOU PICK THAT THING????

what am i missing here? why? Why?
WHY? WHY WOULD YOU PICK THAT THING?
can anyone help me? i'm at a loss

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

When I think of Ms. Sanchez (ne Bezos) I am reminded of the old Tom Lykis term "butterface." And even then the unreality of the rest of her body, well, it repels me. I've seen nice fake breasts and horribly disfiguring boob jobs and they generally feel more like grapefruit than a woman, so I'll agree with that much of Tina's rant. I just generally assume a case of "look-at-me-ism" took hold of people who choose to upsize and display like that. And that is exactly the kind of woman I avoid associating with.

gilbar said...

"55- year-old bride Sánchez "

seriously... WHY? This man could have his pick of
19 year olds
29 year olds
39 year olds
49 year olds

and he doesn't JUST pick a 55 year old..
he picks a 55 year inflatable sex doll, from Frederick's of Hollywood?

Does he just NOT LIKE humans?
if so.. Was THAT the best robot he could get?

If *i* was one of the richest men in the History of the World..
and *i* was going to marry a non human..
I'd pick a Marilyn Monrobot.. Not what EVER that thing is

gilbar said...

DON'T DATE ROBOTS!

Humperdink said...

At least he didn’t pluck a young babe from the cradle, he being 61, his bride-to-be 55.

The wedding is not a cheap ride, but how much did the pre-nup cost?

Humperdink said...

gilbar beat me to it.

R C Belaire said...

All these comments slamming Bezos' choice. Could it be, simply, love?

Leland said...

Tina realizing others made better choices in life.

RCOCEAN II said...

Venice-sinking nuptials, - what does this mean?

tying up every tender on the Grand Canal (and 90 private jets expected) - why are these two different things jammed together?

is the big beautiful buster bomb of high-net-worth exhibitionism - what is a "buster bomb" ? And how do bombs and exhibitionism go together? I thought bombs were bad, as in "Box office bomb".

RCOCEAN II said...

I cant think of anything i care less about than Jeff Bezos or any billionaire leftist. Whats striking about Trump isn't just that he's MAGA and ran for POTUS, but that he's one of the few Billionaires that is actually... interesting.

Most billionaires are boring, because their only claim to fame is being lucky enough to make a lot of money.

Yancey Ward said...

Put me in RC Belaire's camp- since Bezos literally could have chosen from millions of potential mates I think he is getting married to Sanchez simply because he loves her; and, as far as I can tell, there is nothing about Sanchez that screams she isn't worthy of being loved. Tina Brown, on the other hand......

Aggie said...

I don't begrudge Bezos' wedding or Sanchez's good fortune, but I note that it's really, when you think about it, a public service to humanity, that they're doing it so publicly. The great leveler, the Human Spectacle.

You can witness all of this tomfoolery, this outrageous display of ostentation, and still be able to feel a bit of pity at the inadvertent show of human weaknesses.

She looks like a blow-up sex doll from 90's

Rocco said...

…behemoth buttocks…

I just did a Google images search for “Lauren Sanchez bikini butt shot”. There are not a lot of images, but the few available show Lauren as have a butt in the normal range, if on the small and slightly flatish side.

She’s no Nicki Minaj.

Jupiter said...

What he said.

She was a beautiful woman pre-surgery. Now she just looks creepy.

Howard said...

I agree Rocco, but here's where we have to give Bezos some credit for not demanding that her plastic surgery makes her look like a 14-year-old girl supplied by Jeffrey Epstein. In that way he's the anti Bill Gates

Smilin' Jack said...

“I'm seeing a lot about the Jeff Bezos wedding, but how do we know he's really getting married?”

At $20m, this is probably just a preliminary dress rehearsal.
Bezos better spend a lot more than that on the real thing if he doesn’t want to look like a cheapskate.

Ice Nine said...

$20 million wedding? There are some really sick needs being met there.

Were I the richest man in the world, my wedding would still cost less than my prenuptial agreement.

Charlie said...

Her fake lips have their own zipcode!

rehajm said...

...the rumor is at least Elton John, Lady Gaga, Matteo Bocelli will perform. Did you know you can order celebs off a menu for your function, too? We get the lists...

rehajm said...

I'm inclined to believe I'd be happier around the people going to the wedding than the people shitting on it..

Anthony said...

I thought she was an actress from a while ago (actually Roselyn Sanchez) that I thought was stunningly perfect and was all "Yeah! You go, Bezos!" but alas, this is just a botoxed bimbo.

JAORE said...

One must assume the Bezos carnival ride rocket is well pressurized. Else the interior would have been splattered with inorganic material from her exploding lips and chest.

PM said...

Toasting with Dom Perignon Rose Gold and stomping John Calleija glasses. Mazel tov!

Birches said...

Agreed that her plastic surgery is bad. Lots of beautiful women ruin themselves with bad plastic surgery. I thought that something looked off the last time I saw Ivanka. Melania must have an incredible surgeon.

I'm afraid what is happening now is a change in the standard of beauty, where people — not me, but Bezos — have come to think that the completely exaggerated and frankly artificial look is impressive.

A similar thing is done, on the cheap, with makeup — exaggerated contouring, lipstick drawn way outside the lines, oversized false eyelashes, and dark penciled eyebrows.

I remember the "natural look" of the mid 1960s. It lasted about a year and a half.

Caroline said...

Jeff bezos is marrying Jessica rabbit. She is definitely trans human.

Smilin' Jack said...

“I'm afraid what is happening now is a change in the standard of beauty, where people — not me, but Bezos — have come to think that the completely exaggerated and frankly artificial look is impressive.”

He’s preparing us for the introduction of the Amazon RoboWoman next year. Eventually they’ll look like Anya Taylor-Joy, but that will take a few more years.

Biff said...

It is interesting that we're expected not merely to accept without question all sorts of kinks, predilections, and body modifications, but to celebrate them and take "pride" in them...

...except when they might be seen as catering to the interests of cis-hetero men. Then they are the worst thing ever.

Sure, I get the argument that if a woman modifies herself simply to please a man, it may be a reflection of an unfair power differential. At the same time, if you criticize a woman's plastic surgery, there will be no shortage of moral arbiters standing by to shout, "How dare you!"

(For the record, I am not a fan of the pneumatically injected and implanted look, but if someone decides to go for that look, it's not really my business.)

Ron Winkleheimer said...

“I'm afraid what is happening now is a change in the standard of beauty, where people — not me, but Bezos — have come to think that the completely exaggerated and frankly artificial look is impressive.”

Or maybe they've been replaced by aliens who can't quite mimic humans correctly? Cause I would think that with Bezo's money they could afford a good plastic surgeon.

Jim at said...

My wife (from her work circles) actually knows someone who's going to this. It's insane the amount of money being spent.

I mean, the guests are given a five-figure clothing allowance and are being flown in on private jets. And that's just for starters.

Kakistocracy said...

The one thing even Bezos can't buy is class. Too much is too much.

"Fare bella figura" means getting it just right. And his wedding will be a good example what not to do.

Birches said...

You might be right, but some women can pull off plastic better than others. Kim Kardashian is 44 and though she's entirely made of fillers and Botox, she doesn't look as grotesque as Sanchez. Maybe that sort of thing will catch up to her in her 50's. Maybe that's Sanchez's problem. Still, whoever does Melania's work is very good.

Lazarus said...

Women with all the money in the world often end up looking that way. See Jocelyn "Catwoman" Wildenstein, a.k.a. "The Bride of Wildenstein" for an example.

I note in passing that Jeff's first wife, the one with the ridiculous first name of "McKenzie" and the third richest woman in the world, is back on the market after her short-lived second marriage to a high school science teacher. She might make some lucky guy who can put up with her nonsense very happy.

Oso Negro said...

I'm with Aggie on this. Whenever I see photos of those two, I always feel a flash of pleasure. I do not find her appealing in the least, but she always looks extremely pleased with her present station in life. And apparently, Mr. Bezos is deeply smitten. Oh, the humanity!

Marcus Bressler said...

When my Chinese GF visited me in April, she surprised me with new breasts. She was an A cup and now she is a B cup. I liked her the way she was but it was her choice and she picked a nice size for her frame. They did a very nice job also IMHO (in my horny opinion). I am not a breast man, but a leg man. But I did compliment her on them. She said her and her GF decided to go get boob jobs together and that her GF also got her butt done. My GF, Qin, said she did not consider that and I am glad she didn't. They take fat from other parts of your body and inject it into your buttocks and things can go very wrong. Qin doesn't have any fat to redistribute and she has a "pleasant" derriere. BTW, she didn't have her tiddies done for me.
I have been with women with fake boobs and most are too big. One must have had hers done years earlier as they were the size and shape of children's bowling balls and just as hard.
