The Mamie Eisenhower Museum

The saggy tits display.

A Jackie On Assistance pinata.

Collection of wartime bloomers

The recipe for fairy toast.

All the female staff wearing "The Mamie" hairstyle.

A replica of her original Gettysburg bathroom, complete with pink fixtures.

Three dozen #10 cans of parsleyed potato balls, and four cases of instant cake mix.

A fashion gallery of Americanized "New Look" dresses by Mollie Parnis, Trifari, Nettie Rosenstein, and Sally Victor. (If your response is "who?" you are not alone.) With a special section on Judith Leiber (If your response is "who?, turn in your gay card.)

A crystal ashtray Mamie slipped into her handbag during a tour of the private quarters of the White House conducted by Bess Truman. It was the only nice thing Bess ever owned.

"My favorite DL threads center around d..."

A gentle reminder: things center ON, not around.

Plenty of coloreds among the janitorial staff.

You're stuck with the Mamie Eisenhower Birthplace in Boone, Iowa, OP. They even have two of her cars parked in the barn.

But better hurry, just in case. The local history museum wants to sell the place. Interest has dropped, for some reason.

The folding tray tables upon which she and Ike ate their dinner in front of the TV every night

The voodoo doll of Kay Summersby

Enough RIT pink dye to paint a battleship.

Lots of empty vodka bottles

The wheelchair she hid and wouldn’t offer Jackie Kennedy during the tour.

They’d sell Mamies Million Dollar Fudge in the gift shop.

R16, Mamie did run a tab at the Gettysburg Wine and Spirit Shop.

Isn't there a lot of Mamie-robilia at the Ike museum? I know there's quite a bit of Pat Nixon material at the Nixon Library.

[quote] Isn't there a lot of Mamie-robilia at the Ike museum? I know there's quite a bit of Pat Nixon material at the Nixon Library.

I could be wrong, but I believe the Nixon Library was heavily upgraded when it moved into the NARA system. It had previously been maintained by a private organization.

OP, did you ever take a field trip to that "museum" of the human body in Hesston for 'family science' (sex ed)? I can still remember the smell of that place.

My class field trip had to have been in 1989, but it may as well have been 1955.

^^correction: Halsted, not Hesston

Now actually Miss Mamie

She like the Colored gentlemen to be seated in the rear....

Near her

Over 100 lace and satin pink bed jackets. To the casual observer they all look the same, but Mrs. Eisenhower could tell them all apart.

Custom made drapery slips which the WH staff placed across the bottom of the draperies on the family floor of the White House so they wouldn't get dusty over night.

I've been to the Eisenhower Museum, too, on a pit stop during a cross country trip. It wasn't the most interesting or inspiring place. Actually, the Greyhound Hall of Fame and Museum was much more interesting. I had never known that Greyhounds are such placid couch potatoes.

Her camisole collection. Instead of brassieres, that's what she wore hence her low hangers which were far, far worse than Camilla Duchess of Cornwall's foundation garment problems.

Mamie was First Lady when I was born.

This is a Fun Fact for you to know and tell!

[quote] I've been to Eisenhower's presidential library in Abilene a couple of times. It's about as underwhelming as one would expect.

I'd expect it to be very interesting, but I didn't know it was in Abilene.

Nut meats by the pound.

The Eisenhower home in Gettysburg is just as Mamie left it when she died. Open to visit

Abilene, Texas smells like WET DOG, year round. What the fuck is going on with that place?

It's in Abilene KANSAS, not Texas.

"She like the Colored gentlemen to be seated in the rear.... "

And Mr. Ike like the Colored gentlemen. In the rear or otherwise.

Abilene, KS once had the best Pizza Hut lunch buffet, but now even that's all gone to shit.

A saved miscarriage in a formaldehyde jar dated January 10, 1935.

A glockenspiel.

I've always liked Mamie, and I think the Mamie/New Look is the best style of dress woman have had in the last hundred years. Her inaugural gown is one of the most beautiful ones in the Smithsonian.

A complete set of towels, several boxes of matches, assorted stationery and toiletries, two lamps, and a Gideon Bible taken from her room at The Lodge at Pebble Beach.

All I know is it should be an endless maze, the better to lead strumpets who think they are worthy of being First Lady around for hours on end.

This thread is driving me to distraction!

Brilliant conversationalist, too: when Ike was getting ready to drive with the incoming President to his inauguration, Mamie saw her husband put on his top hat, a ceremonial gesture requested by Kennedy.

She piped up to Jackie, “Look at Ike in that hat! He looks like Paddy the Irishman!” Mrs. Kennedy barely managed a polite smile. The faux pas was hardly flattering to the wife of the first Irish Catholic U.S. President.

A big black dildo discreetly hidden in a bed Side drawer. Underneath is the name "ROSCOE " in bold print.

R44 I loved it. I LOVED it! That friggin mick was always putting on airs. And couldn't keep his tiny schlong in his pants.

Her much-fingered issues of "Spree!," "Flick," and "Tigress!."

Mamie loved to spread her Million Dollar Fudge all over her vag

And drink Pink Cocktails while she made Roscoe eat it off...

Ike was a Cuck

Mamie liked to make him watch

Mamie speaks!

Here are some things to remember about Mamie. She hated Republican Senator Joesph McCarthy and made sure he was never invited to the White House, whereas the Kennedy brothers were close friends with McCarthy, to the end. She also made sure that black children were included in the Easter Egg Roll and tour groups, and accepted honorary membership in the National Council of Negro Women. When her friend Rosalind Russell's film Never Wave at a WAC was going to premiere in DC, Mamie was going to attend until she discovered it was going to be held at a segregated theater. She declined and instead had the film be shown at the White House.

Yay Mamie. An example of how the current GOP would be absolutely unrecognizable to the 50s version

"She declined and instead had the film shown at the White House." Honestly, I don't know where the "be" came from.

[quote]She declined and instead had the film shown at the White House.

Mrs. Eisenhower had the film shown in her pink boudoir

While Roscoe poured her Pink Gin Fizzes and rubbed Mrs. Eisenhower's feet

Mrs. Eisenhower reportedly loved the film, as she was heard to exclaim, "Oh Gawd, Yes, Yes!" many times throughout the movie

Over here we have a tube of Ipana toothpaste used by both Ike and Mamie at Camp David. And on this table is a copy of McCall's magazine featuring Jacqueline Kennedy on the cover. The beard and mustache, missing tooth and granny glasses are believed to have been drawn on the magazine by Mrs. Eisenhower herself.

Over here is a half-empty tube of Preparation H that Mrs. Eisenhower used on her...

Well, let's just say she strained herself, shall we?

And here's a postcard from Roscoe to his family back in Mississippi

"Dis ol' white lady 'bout to kill me! Ain't never seen a woman want to get fucked so much. And goddamn if she don't love the butt sex and other kinky shit..."

That film be shown at the White House!

Mamie's "Million Dollar Fudge" was basically the recipe from the back of jars of marshmallow fluff. Plagarist!

Mamie Eisenhower is so cute.

Any woman who wears such a daring hairdo year after year with no fear of criticism is clearly gangsta!

Is there, perchance, an exhibit of Mrs. Eisenhower's "intimate" apparel?

Her Spoolies.....

Lol.....

Saggy titties

Nancy Reagan FORBADE any mention whatsoever of Jane Wyman at the Ronald Reagan Museum and Presidential library during her lifetime, even though Reagan was married to her for several years and had two adopted children with her. I have no idea if that prohibition is still in effect.

A well-thumbed paperbook "gag gift" she was given by Bess Truman when she moved into the White House in 1953: [italic] Whoopsadaisy!: How to Surprise Your Husband with a "Dutch Oven."[/italic]

Mamie wore this tomato red suit along with a dark mink coat for the JFK inauguration on January 20, 1961.

That's as good as I've ever seen her look, R68!
