Once better known as the great-grandaughter of the formidable fashion doyen and magazine editor Diane Vreeland, young Caroline is of a different type altogether, and quite worthy of appreciation in her own right.
…and she doesn’t seem to be all that shy, either:
Keats once wrote: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”, and he was quite right.
Here’s a piece from Jamie Wilson at PJMedia, and she has the right of it too:

“We are preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are more aligned with President Trump’s America First Policies,” a White House official told The Hill.
So… does this mean no more government buildings that look like this?
Fire away, then.
This is Madelaine Petsch, who has appeared in some TV show that I’ve never watched before.
