Satin Doll

Millicent Rogers, circa 1940, wearing a small something by Charles James—and a lump of the barbaric gold jewels she designed and made herself.
In a cosmos where brass-plated tackiness rears its noddle with alarming frequent occurrence, it is always reassuring to see wealthy people lay out their money with veritable panache and incontestable style. I'm talking about special environments here, so don't get started about nobler causes; liberty that to another blog, okay?

Rogers, looking fashionable, as always.
A dependably in fashion intersection of specie and chic was any dwelling lived in by Millicent Rogers, an pointed blonde who worked molten gold into heavyweight, faux-prime jewels admired by connoisseurs but who was known to the masses as a much-connubial heiress to the Ensign Oil fortune. Whether a chalet in the Austrian Tyrol, a historic Virginia plantation abode or an adobe parsonage-house in Taos, a Rogers inward was always a mindblowing copy of nose-thumbing special style. Whatever Rogers was collecting, you could be comely sure that nobody else in her set was—when it comes to decorating, nothing's worse than being a copycat. Idiocrasy is always better, don't you meditate?
