Tinsley Mortimer
Tinsley Mortimer is the career socialite that has it all: a handbag line, a clothing line, a design consultancy, and the ambassadorship of her favorite fashion house. She launched her namesake Tinsley Pink ultra-gloss for Dior Beauty at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship in New York in a multi-tiered event.
Starting at noon, Tinsley joined her Dior make-up artist for a two-hour master class for twenty people in the Eat at Saks restaurant on the department store’s second floor. She then made her grand entrance downstairs to Saks’s main floor to greet the assembled press there and her supportive family members, including sister Dabney Mercer, husband Topper Mortimer, mother-in-law Senga Mortimer, and mother Dale Mercer, who is currently pursuing a graduate degree at Harvard.
The socialite was flanked on all sides by fans, photographers, and camera crews. She then left again for the store’s restaurant for a second session of the master class, this time filled with students from neighboring middle and secondary schools, there to see their favorite socialite in the flesh and to have her autograph their Tinsley Pink glosses. A portion of the sales of Tinsley’s limited edition lip gloss will benefit her charity of choice, Operation Smile.

Tinsley and Dabney look just about perfect here!
Tinsley looks like Barbie! Nice!
I have been a fan of this site for awhile -but have never posted. Just have to say that Tinsley & Dabney look so cute in this post.
Their mom is not so bad either
O H M Y G O D
This must be a joke.
new to the site…what exactly did she teach 5th graders at the ‘master class’? that beauty comes from within?
Dabney, “Marsha, marsha, marsha!”
#5 There must be something lost in translation. Middle school girls wear Dior lipgloss? (And what schools decided to take their students to visit their favorite socialite?) Maybe she talked with them about “Operation Smile”. That would make more sense.
It’s time for the girls to either wear their hair up occasionally or cut 5 inches of it off.
I’m surprised Tinsley didn’t have a pink suit made for Topper!
Tinsley, you’re over.
She’s trying to look like 22-year-old..
Lol Tinsree.. You’re 32.
Why is the m-i-l wearing sunglasses in Saks?
I think she looks great. Who cares if she dresses ‘young’? 33 IS young. If people are going to live to be 100, they deserve to look youthful for at least a third of that time if not more. I am 20 and I intend to be youthful-looking until I am 40 at least. It’s not really that difficult- be healthy, don’t tan excessively, make responsible choices. Get plastic surgery/ botox if you really want to - nothing wrong with that
I think she looks age appropriate. . .the hair is a bit young but it is her signature. Dabney looks adorable in that color. Good job for Tins for making something out of . . .nothing. If you can create an image/idea that people will buy into good for you, it certainly isn’t hurting anyone.
i think tinsley’s dress is very age appropriate.
i think you would be hard pressed to find a 20yr old that would wear that…because it is very conservative.
while im not a big fan of her signature locks….i do think she looks quite lovely here.
(but also agree on the 5th graders…what? yes, i hope it was a talk on her favorite charity, operation smile, that would make me feel much better)
i’m not a tinsley-hater, but i don’t think the dress suits her at all - makes her look lumpy. she should have worn dabney’s dress. i forgot about her mom - social climbing psycho.
Of the three of them I think Tinsley’s dress is the most age appropriate.
Dale looks just like Dabney. They all look so cute.
Personally, I have to say, I’m so sick of people calling her “Tinsree”. Never thought it was all that witty but now it’s just so tired and sad. Someone should come up with a better nickname for her.
Also, while I am sure she did not do it on purpose, I love the perverseness of her mother in law wearing black. Again, sure it was not intentional, but it is funny in the pictures. And, by the way, I do admire Tinsley.
Congratulations for this beautiful family!!! They all look gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Tinsley looks perfect.Mom so beautiful!!!
This girl is unstoppable. Everytime I think she’s finished…
All of the women look beautiful.
Good luck with this, Tinsley!
Does anyone not agree that Dabney looks a tad “Chucky-doll” in the first photo?
Dabney looks like one of the Tilly sisters - Jennifer or Meg. TInsley looks good in the shot with her MIL. she looks natural and not forced or posed. Do you think the MIL wore black on purpose? Not even a pink accent anywhere? And Topper? Shouldn’t he have had on a pink tie or something to complete the “look” of the supportive husband?
Dale- got a B-A-D facelift…..she looks like a witch in that too tight dress. Women of that age, who are not as slender as Anna Wintour (and even Anna usually wears a sweater during the day), need to cover their arms because it is gross for people to look at in the sunlight. All that elephanty flesh- gross!
Tinsley should have stopped putting make-up on 11 year olds and worked on her own mother.
However, the M-I-L was very age app. dressed. Her sunglasses make her look laid back, youthful, and like she is a fun woman and not frigid like tight face in a too tight dress.
I am sure Tinsley was so trilled to be getting so much press, since she was not even at the Costume Gala…. :(((((
D and T look cute - Mom’s dress too youthful, I think, and MIL - ye gads what’s with the dark glasses???? Looks like outfit you’d wear to a funeral at St Thomas -
No one has mentioned at all that this event was held to benefit Operation Smile. Have you people no heart? Tinsley you looked beautiful and kudos to you for being involved in such a good event. The children helped by this endeavor will be changed forever in part because of you.
Dale reminds me of a younger version of Emily Gilmore from Gilmore Girls- the hair, the expression, the pearls…
#24 I agree with you TOTALLY. She is a genuinely beautiful young lady.
Strange too because she is at a lot of the events–wonder why she is conveniently left out…
Tinsley and Dabney, can’t get enough photos of these two blondes!!!
21. Richmond (maybe all southern) women tend to dress a little too young for their ages. While I agree with you about covering up certain body parts after a certain age (regardless of the shape you’re in), to call her arms “elephanty” is ridiculous. And you know, hooray that she feels comfortable enough to wear that and expose herself to all sorts of scrutiny & unkind comments.
Mrs. Mortimer is much more appropriately dressed for a lady of her age but what is she wearing on her legs?
tinsley is in major need of a spanx, that dress is not for her. dabney = gorgeous though.
Tinsley’s outfit was very age appropriate and her shoes were absolutely fierce. Ahh to be a Mortimer!
I like TinTins look here, its her girly thing but not so overdone that its odious. Others- just not a fan of black shoes with magenta.
As for those middle schoolers —–
have you all forgotten ? 6th grade was exactly the time we were obsessed with lip gloss, lip smackers, roll-on gels. In fact, we would shoplift such things at that AGE, it was our first venture into the world of makeup. Eyeshadow was still verboten.
Now, Dior is pricey, but I assume they picked whatever chi-chi school was nearby, certainly don’t want to mingle with those lower class kids.
I do remember in 8th grade buying some Elizabeth Arden eyepencils, cause that’s where mom bought her stuff. Its possible.
I think mother in law may be wearing the gloss, which is nice.
32-amen, I hear you about the middle schoolers digging lip gloss, but I think the outrage comes in the fact that an educational institution took the kids out of the classroom and to Saks in the middle of the day for this “field trip.” I think that’s what’s inappropriate about it, not the fact that kids can’t afford Dior. Perhaps if their “favorite socialite” talked about Operation Smile rather than pretty makeup to kids who were supposed to be in school at that time, it’d be a little more tolerable.
The Marcia Marcia comment…Dabbers must be feeling like the neglected stepchild by now.
Mrs. Mercer looks like Emily Gilmore to me, too. I don’t know Dale but she looks polite enough but might not have the super friendly and serving attitude that Tinsley has. How sweet of Topper to support his wife during his lunch break! His mother is a true beauty. The luscious hair, the great face… that’s how we should all age ladies!! It appears that Senga is also wearing Tinsley Pink lip gloss even if she not dressed in pink like the Mercer girls so that is nice. I cannot get over how Barbie-like Tinsley and Dabney are. Topper could have easily married some blonde wasp bimbo but Tinsley is the girl who turned all of this into something. She is the definition of “career socialite”! Which girl doesn’t love Dior? Now can you imagine being the “ambassador” of your favorite fashion label? I would just about freak out if I had the same opportunity. Go Tins!
Dale and Dabs look just alike.
Tinsley looks very pretty here, but also a little tired. Did we ever figure out why she wasn’t at the Met gala?
Aw, look at the look little middle school girl behind Senga. The look on her face of complete excitement! How she is maneuvering her camera! Rather cute that Tinsley has such young fans. The Mercers are adorable. Dale is very lucky to have such beautiful daughters and Topper is lucky to have married one of them. The Tinsley Pink color actually looks rather nice but I wouldn’t expect any less from the socialite that turned party pictures into a tangible and glamorous career.
Tinsley, Mrs. Mercer, and Dabney look FABULOUS. Seriously. Especially Tinsley. She has a terrific figure, which she obviously got from her mother (teeny tiny ankles etc.).
Did anyone else notice that Mrs. Mercer is faaaar better looking and has aged much better than Mrs. Mortimer? I think Senga’s eyebrows are 3 inches above her dark glasses and she is getting fairly jowl-y. Did she just have an eye lift that morning or what?
The picture of Tinsley standing sideways facing Topper, honestly she has the body of an 18 year-old so everyone should stop saying she should “dress her age”. Nonsense. Now when she has a baby, of course. But until then, why not. And actually, I think she almost always DOES look appropriate.
Well, the 100,000 question is ….. which school actually did this ?
I’d say they participated to get some PR for themselves. Actually, whoever organized the whole event was clever……getting schoolkids involved in the children’s smile charity. Maybe, possibly, the class had
sponsored 1 of the Operation Smile kids ? We did things like that.
Yes, but this event didn’t actually have anything to do with Operation Smile. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of Tinsley Pink go to Operation Smile, which is great, but that’s it. The kids’ event was to teach middle & secondary schoolers how to apply makeup and get and autograph. I’m hoping that wasn’t the only reason they were pulled from school, but saying they were involved in Operation Smile is just speculation. And at my school, we did things like sponsor a child too, but were rewarded with pictures and letters from the parent and/or that child–not by being taken out of school to go to a department store and learn about makeup.
Dale looks lovelyY Tinsree appears lumpy! Yuk! And her hair pulls her face down. ie: horse face
And Dabney is the most beautiful! Tinsree is almost as notorious as Paris. yuk
Keep it up Tinsree
Speaking of “smiles”, Dabs teeth look rather dark, a’la bulimia. (I doubt they were serving red wine that afternoon).
Tinz has it all over on her sister. Now if she could ony break her “need to pee” pose, like Lindsay Lohan and leggings.
Not convinced that one mother has aged better than the other.
I guess if you want to look like Barbie dolls, the two girls are doing well. ( I think they’d both look a lot better with shorter hair.) Mrs. Mercer looks “great” for her age thanks to some plastic surgeon. Mrs. Mortimer looks much more “regal” to me and very appropraite for her age.
Really (#44)? I see Dale Mercer and I see a woman who, sure, she’s had some work done and she doesn’t look as great as her daughters, but she’s fit and trim and has great legs. Even her arms are toned enough. I’m not saying Dale looks 45, but she looks like an attractive mid-50’s WASP. Senga on the other hand is wearing dark glasses indoors (not a good sign), and she is wearing the classic aristocractic European old lady costume (a-line, 3/4-sleeve, below-the-knee length plain dress) with opaque tights (this time of year? also not a good sign). I think Senga is great, but she looks every bit of a mid-60’s Italian woman. Someone could tell me she’s 71 and I’d say “fabulous colorist” and “she looks fantastic” but I’d believe it.
Tinsley does look perfect. Topper is so cute. I didn’t start liking Tins until I saw how her husband balances her out. I like them.
Her smile looks great in the one with her mother-in-law. The last pic is exquisite. Sexy sexy.
have any of you ever been to the upper east side? people wear sunglasses inside all the time. yes it’s really stupid, but people do it quite frequently, so it’s not necessarily an indicator of something horrible underneath.
also, middle school is 6th grade, no? 12yrs old is the average time people start playing with makeup. and let’s be real, we’re talking about manhattan girls here who have probably already had their first taste of alcohol, cigarettes and weed.
For me the only things I really like about these pictures are; Tinsley’s shoes (very sexy), Senga’s Rayban’s (old school) and Topper (he’s cute).
#46 agree - I happen to think DM’s dress is too young for her (but hey look at her girls CUT your hair girls) and SM’s outfit matronly - the glasses have to go or should have for this function -
Tinsley is obviously very very slender with a great figure but that dress give the illusion of lumpiness around the thighs. I think she could have chosen better, but still she looks great. Who knew she had such a cute butt, as evidenced in the sideways shot with her husband…not bad at all!!
Gotta hand it to her, she is realizing her dreams, whether we approve or not! Kudos, Tinsley!
Topper is a very lucky man to have her as a wife. What a hot rear end she has.
This is a post full of comedy. That first pic looks like “Legally Blonde- And Mom!” Quite a picture.
I actually like Tins, but greeting her many “fans” and middle schoolers having a “favorite socialite” verges on satire. Her mom looks charming, if vivid and from elsewhere, nothing wrong with that.
Isn’t Senga Mortimer Peter Davis’s mother? She looks on her way to a Mafia funeral. Nothing wrong with that. Would’ve loved a pic of her and Mrs. Mercer for contrast.
tinsley looks like a goddess in the last picture. the hair, the dress the figure… i love it. tinsley, if you are reading, congratulations on inciting jealousy in me, haha! dabney is so pretty. i thought she looked like carrie underwood at first but i think dabney is even more beautiful than her.
You didn’t have to be there to know this but if you even just read the post you would know that Tinsley was on the floor between 2:30 and 3:30 and the class where all the other kids were at was after that and lasted two hours. Most, if not all schools in NYC, let out between 2:30 and 3:30 PM so there were no “field trips” as many have imagined though a lot of girls from Dalton, Hewitt, and Sacred Heart (my school) came together. There were so many sixth and seventh graders there… Tinsley talked to a lot of them and even signed their lip glosses. She’s going to be such a good mom to a little girl one day, I could tell right then. I know some of you put her down regularly but Tinsley is like a legend, especially to a lot of younger girls, however inane that may sound to the bitchy PAP commenter crowd.
I don’t think tinsley looks lumpy at all, she looks very slim and it is nice to see her in something that actually shows off her shape a little (like that nice behind!) and isn’t a pouff/ bubble / a million layers drowning her
Dale Mercer looks like a nightmare on wheels. The color pink she and Dabney are wearing is possibly my least favorite color, excepting Hospital Green. Harvard grad school? Would love to know what one. Senga Mortimer MUST be wearing black on purpose, and if she did, that is very, very funny.
When are they going to learn that the hair must come off a bit? These girls just look so manufactured with this length of peroxided-hair. Please, it will make you look all the more elegant and help camouflage the Mr. Ed head.
I love how this is ‘operation smile’ sponsored, when probably in reality like .001% of the proceeds (after taxes, and all other payments) actually benefit anyone. Whatever, i guess its good they got something.
Is Senga from Italy directly? What kind of name is Senga? Presuming, italian. But off-the-boat or italian-american?
also, i thought Charlize Theron was the ambassador to Dior beauty.
Lumpy wasn’t the right word. I mean, in that first photo, she looks TINY (look at her waist!), but her thighs look ever so slightly saddlebaggish. I know that sounds ridiculous and I admit I would kill for her figure. I just wish it was a more flattering fabric. I think even Gisele would look less than perfect in that cut and fabric, it’s just so unforgiving…it’s the dress, not her.
Put my finger on it, there’s something really Liz Phair about Tinsley.
I have heard that Senga’s real name is Agnes….Senga is Agnes spelled backwards.
Love Senga’s classic black dress at the pink event.. leave it to Richmonder Dale to don the tacky pink taffeta dress to a daytime event.
HHH are you serious? That is the most ridiculous thing i think i’ve ever heard. give me a break. cheese-y!
Her mother had a lot of work done that’s for sure. For some reason she reminds me of a stage mother
Senga looks her age which is unusual.
Sia, I am dead serious.
Senga (Agnes) and her sister Siri (Iris) both have backwards-spelled names.
Dale is a tennis mom (not a stage mom)… Tinsley and Dabney both were nationally-ranked tennis players as teenagers. Dabney definitely must have had a lot of pressure growing up with over achiever Tinsley for an older sister.
# 65 FYI, without my handy dandy Social Register by my side, Tony Mortimer’s wife is named Siri….is that Senga’s sister??
#65 NO NO NO Siri is married to Tony Mortimer Babe Paley’s son - Senga is Senga - just happens to be Agnes spelled backwards, silly - Senga’s sisters are deceased - wow Topper is a Mortimer and Minnie is a Mucci - Mucci’s from Brigeport, Ct - claim to fame was Col Mucci - Col’s wife Hawaiian
No relation but funny coincidence… Tony is Topper’s cousin. Topper’s aunt Siri is much older than Tony!
WOW! Tinsley looks stunning. She is so very petite. I love her taste in clothing although I agree that the dress does not look like it was cut right.
All you haters are so nit-picky. Geez…give me a break. So what if her hair is dyed and long. She still looks great. In any event, at least Dior thinks so!
HHH, I’ve read your posts before. I am assuming that you are part of this crowd b/c you appear to write from an “insider” perspective. What I don’t understand is why you hang out amongst these people b/c most of what I have read from you is super negative.
Brooke, you are right about their appearance. Topper looks like a Mortimer man (very WASP) while Minnie looks very exotic (must be Senga’s Hawaiian and Italian ancestry). Tinsley, I believe, is as WASP as they could even come so when she has a kid with Topper, I wonder if any of Senga’s traits will show.
tinsley has a divine body. who knew she had a butt like that?! such a tiny frame, too. SAL, i didn’t know dale’s tiny ankles until you mentioned it either. she must have been a looker in her days, just like her two girls. in any case, they are all so adorable here. i think it’s really cute that middle school girls came out to have tinsley sign their little dior lip glosses!
hawaiin and italian> what a cool combo. very exotic
#68 what are you talking about? Siri Larsen Mortimer and Stanley (Tony) G. Mortimer, III have big difference in age? Please enlighten us Missy know it all
No, Brooke, what I said was that Siri Mucci (Senga’s sister) was much older than Tony Mortimer (Senga’s nephew) that it was impossible they were married.
“Career socialite” is the best description of Tinsley I’ve ever read. Isn’t having a Dior lip gloss named in your honor the dream of every little upper class girl in America?
Actually Dale, work done or not, is far prettier than either of her daughters. At least she doesn’t have that nose!!!
PINK - such a Paris Hilton color - no REAL social NY girl likes pink. Barf!
on school trips, we went to the museum of natural history. who knew, that now, they take you to saks to learn to put lip gloss on.
So much of this article, as well as the commentary, is gag-inducing.
The Mercer “girls” look pretty, if over-coiffed and over-dressed for an afternoon event. However, they are hawking a product~~~and themselves. Better to look young and cared-for than dowdy and funereal (hiding mournful red eyes behind the glasses?), although
the MIL appears to have a nice figure under the black sack.
I do hope philanthropist Tinsley personally donates tons of gloss to all those Op Smile patients, undoubtedly adoring “fans”. Sheesh…..
What’s next? Adopting foreign orphans???
tins does have a great booty. who knew? i hope she won’t kill herself to get rid of it. she’s so desperate to stay super-thin… (sigh)
Did anyone see pictures of Lydia Hearst at the Life Ball? Definitely wearing pasties and not much else. It reminded me of all the drama over pics of Tinsley with Jenna Jameson last year. Glad she was doing this in ‘08. The girl has staying power.
Brooke 67: Wrong on many counts, re Topper’s ancestry. Please let this be the definitive statement on this …
(1) Senga Clark Mucci Davis Mortimer is not Hawaiian by a long shot: Born Agnes Mucci (Senga is her name spelled backwards), she is the eldest daughter of WW2 US Army hero Colonel Henry A. Mucci (both of whose parents were Italian immigrants) and his wife, Marion Fountain of Denver, Colorado. Her parents lived part of each year in Honolulu, Hawaii, and part of the year in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Senga attended the University of Hawaii—which must be why everybody thinks she is half Hawaiian, which ain’t the case.
(2) Siri Mortimer is not Senga Mortimer’s sister but is married to Senga’s husband’s nephew Tony Mortimer. Senga had two sisters, Kathleen Mucci and Marcia Marsland, and one brother, William Mucci.
(3) Senga Clark Mucci married 1, in 1965, Dwight Filley Davis 3rd, a grandson of the US Secretary of War under Presidenet Coolidge; they had one son, Peter Davis. After their divorce, she married, 2, John Jay Mortimer.
And if you look closely, Senga Mortimer is wearing a dark brown dress with toffee-color stockings. Not black at all. She looks grand and glamorous rather than frothy and foolish.
Yet another bubble to burst: Siri Mortimer’s name is NOT Iris spelled backwards. Siri is a Norwegian girl’s name, via her Norwegian father, shipping executive H. Irgens Larsen. She was born Siri Aagot Larsen and married Stanley Grafton “Tony” Mortimer 3d in 1971. Her brothers have Norwegian names too: Per Trygve Larsen, Rikk Larsen, Brage Larsen, and Peik Larsen.
wrong on many counts? #81 to update you …3 girls no brother - MF was definitely part Hawaiian - Marsland was Marcia’s first husband she remarried and died of cancer few yrs ago - Kathy was killed in auto accident many yrs ago - the only “count” we disagree on is so silly - so what if she is part Hawaiian? I never said Siri was her sister nor anything about “Iris”
May 21 you are damn busy today - do you normally post????
I think May 21 is James. Or Tinsley. Or both!
#86 A PR Mortimer/Mucci fan - whatever …why does the truth hurt??? Maybe “Petah” (as in Davis)
All of the Mortimers and Mercers look so happy and easy-going. What good fortune they must have. It makes me miss my departed mother tremendously.
I assume the tinsley fawning on this sight and the now the breakdown of the Mortimer family tree must be by Peter
I saw Dale’s dress at Neiman Marcus last night (or at least I am pretty sure it was the same dress.) I’m wondering if perhaps she and Dabney picked up their dresses spur of the moment and thought it would be cute to match. I can’t think of many stores in Richmond that would carry it. Although, really, I guess she probably doesn’t shop much in Richmond.
The colonel’s wife wasn’t Hawaiian … Marion Fountain was from Denver, Colorado … she and the Colonel met in Hawaii when he was stationed at Pearl Harbor … just living in Hawaii doesn’t make you ethnically Hawaiian …
What kind of name is “Topper?” What a Douchebag!
Thank daddy for all that CASH because your wife is way out of his league!
#91 you crack me up why is truth so hard to digest??? - #92 Topper is a preppy name - I don’t think his Papa has much $$$$ left - both Senga and Tinsley work
Tiny Bubbles
Tiny bubbles in the wine,
make me happy, make me feel fine,
tiny bubbles make me warm all over
with a feeling that I’m gonna love you ’til the end of time.
Don Ho singing to all born in Denver
Anyone notice that Tinsley always crosses her legs when she poses?
#95 no really?….gees, i had never noticed that, but now that you mention it……
All I have to say is seriously…the only one that looks cute at all is dabney. Tinsley, wrong wrong wrong. Wrong color, wrong cut, wrong statement. Dabney at least says “young, fun, cute, stylish” .. now for mother… serioulsy girls, you did her a huge dis service by not being honest. Thats just mean..look at her!
#97 DM does look like aging prom queen and at her age she looks foolish - think it is in the cards for her daughters, too -
I just have to say this post made me smile a little. Eh, shameless self promotion, but I think she looks absolutely fantastic, the dress is very age appropriate for her! I am 23, and I couldn’t get away with wearing something like that because even though I have a pretty great figure, hers is beyond fab (even if they are a little skinny) and I could only hope to look so nice in something like that at 33. Plus, it’s nice to see how her whole family came out to support her. So it’s just lipgloss, so what, she is like socialite Barbie and I LOVE that she smiles. Some of these socialites just have this vacant stare into the camera that makes me feel as broke as I am. Tinsely’s is more like…”buy my Dior gloss! And you will be the most fantastic barbie law student EVER!”
No, E, you and Brooke are the ones that are mean. DM looks fantastic for a women her age. She has the figure of a 33 year old and can wear anything she wants. The dress she is wearing is not, however, anything Tinsley or Dabney would ever wear. It is entirely appropiate for a mother of two girls in their 30’s, IF she has the figure for it. Most women that age have thick middles and ugly arms and couldn’t get away with it. She is wearing pearls which are always a plus for a woman her age. She looks like a lady and a beautiful one at that. Also how can you say it is in the cards for the daughters too. It is obviously in the cards for these two beautiful girls to follow in their mother’s footsteps and always take care of themselves and try to follow fashion, and keep themselves in good shape. You two just sound like someone who has not had good breeding and is just a little bit jealous.
How would you feel if your mom came to town and got all dolled up to support your activities and people were ripping her appearance apart? It’s her MOTHER, have some decency, especially since you all know she reads the site. For the record, I think Mrs. Mercer looks fantastic, and it’s not only her body that she hasn’t let go — Harvard isn’t for slouches! These ladies are ambitious, and to me that tops “low-key” socialites who just shop and go to Fred’s to pretend to eat all day.
They all look gorgeous; i’m in love with Tinsleys’ dress! The color & cut of the dress suit her so well! Dabney looks cute!
