My husband Thomasson pointed out to me that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer declared that any attack on Ivanka Trump’s clothing line is also a “direct attack” on the U.S. president. I could not agree more. Shame on everyone that impugns the good name of Ivanka Trump and her many, many branded products. She can’t be held responsible for derivative works that proudly feature her brand. Ivanka is merely upholding a bold family tradition of copying originals and making them their own. Like her stepmother’s speech that heavily borrowed – some would say plagiarized – from Michelle Obama. . We would never dream of attacking Ivanka. She’s our sister. No, instead we choose to celebrate her ability to copy what other people create and make it her own. We think it’s wonderful that she chooses to be so derivative in her business activities—it’s her unique take on quality that just screams “Ivanka” or “Trump.” . We love our two-tone Chanel slingbacks, but we are aware that not everyone can afford to drop their weekly coffee budget on a gorgeous pair of shoes. Lucky for everyone else – the few people remaining in the heartland of the U.S. with fulfilling lives in whatever it is heartlanders do – Ivanka was “inspired” to “create” these questionably okay slingback pumps. (Obligatory imported.) The color block toe looks accurate? And that color of natural leather looks like a perfect match to Ivanka Trump eau de parfum. What’s the word? Office safe. Yes, a perfect description! Now you, too, can be safe for the office in these slingbacks. . And wouldn’t you know it? These shoes are on sale! What are the odds? Oh, how these shoes flaunt their unique quality. . #ivanka #trump #shesoursister #quality #inspired #borrowed #derivative #imported #likemelania #likespeeches #likefashions #likeeverything #officesafe #gorl
