But if i could just quote this

"There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

Hi,

Just to point out, some of her brooches were crystals, aka fake.
She liked Heidi Daus's brooches. Some of her stuff is beautiful. I have what I call my Las Vegas watch from Heidi Daus, but MA really did like Heidi's brooches.

Madeline Albright was an astounding woman. RIP Madeline

She could definitely pull off wearing those big brooches! Love the dragonfly!

She definitely liked her brooches big! From what I've heard she had a big personality to go with them!

I love that she included the pins in the title of her memoir - “Read My Pins…”

Queen Elizabeth (II) also uses her brooches to signal her sentiments about people, places, and events.

Pity the poor men who are stuck with ties and teensy weensie lapel pins!
