so here's the story. Madeleine Albright, first female secretary of state, which makes her kind of a badass anyway, was called an "unparalleled serpent" by saddam hussein. she decided to strike back (get it?) in what better way? vintage brooches. that's right. badass. she went to meet Iraqi officials donning a pretty little vintage snake brooch.
all of a sudden, wearing a brooch, got very deep.
my favorite?
"hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" pin worn to meet vladimir putin.
so, she decided to write a book, "Read My Pins: Stories from a Diplomat's Jewel Box."
and, her pins were displayed in the
Smithsonian this year.
and I love it.
