It's fitting that someone like Ezra Merkin would think that Mark Rothko is worth collecting.

I just hope she has to start turning tricks.

But will Ruth ever find anyone willing to repaint her highlights and cover her grey again? And who will deliver her take out? Just waiting for the Times followup piece on who finally breaks down and starts accepting crumpled twenties out of that $2.5 million nest egg...

In reply to Ruth Madoff: Innocent Victim
Since the whole scandal broke, her face has taken on a pinched look of martyred beatitude. It's the look of focused suffering for God from Catholic paintings of tortured saints.

If you read the excellent article in Vanity Fair from Madoff's secretary's POV, you will see Ruth knew what was what. She's getting off easy here. The whole thing was so orchestrated and premeditated, it's shameful.

@JenniferAJones: that was actually a really good article, especially considering the amount of fluff in Vanity Fair in any given article.

I already don't remember her face but that's because she looks like most upper east side, Long Island and Palm Beach wives. I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a line-up with lobster bibs and white zinfandel.

@therealgoogle: Judging by her resemblance to my mother, I'm going to go with Sauvignon Blanc as the correct answer. But cheap. For some reason, ladies who look like that drink cheap Sauvignon Blanc, which is I guess good for Ruth since that's one less lifestyle change she'll need to make.

Her face looks...bumpy. Is this what happens when you age? Are those botox bubbles? I'm confused. She looks like if the kid from Jerry Maguire had a baby with Mickey Rourke.

@Helennellieforsythe: No, that's what happens when people who used to fight aging with knives and needles can no longer afford to do so. The age pops out in the most interesting places. I hope she stays in the press long enough for age's grand finale. I also hope the press stays around long enough for that, too.

@Helennellieforsythe: Close, but I think she looks more like Gwyneth had a Benjamin Button baby with the kid from Christmas Story.
