Well apparently the Grim Reaper.

Yes, we all saw him die at the end of “The Return of the King”

So young.

He had a hot ass, but

The article doesn’t say what his political leanings are.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter, I guess. Since the age of 18 I’ve been buying EL products.

Even now, most of my skin care regiment involves Lauder products. Along with Lancôme and some tiny bit of Chanel.

I met him a few times in the 80s. Pleasant. As was Estée, nee Josephine Esther Mentzer in Queens. She had a big personality. Aerin Lauder has folie de grandeur and is big zero.

Yeah Estée Lauder products are solid.

Well, some of her perfumes are nice enough.

I met his brother in 1980, giving him, an architect, and a black sable coated Lauder model an after hours tour of a museum where I was working while at university. They swept in like a train, but put aside his other plans and relaxed. He was a fast and animated talker but very gracious and attentive, and curious about everything. We were there for hours and he left me with his card and asked that I contact him after completing my degree, offering that if he could be of any help, large or small, including finding a position for me...

He called my museum director and a friend on the board to praise me, and I sent him him a thank you for the thank you. But, foolishly perhaps, I never did follow through on what I believe was a sincere invitation, but I suppose that might have been a big turn in everything.

He talked about his brother quite a bit, and their varied collections and interests.

“Cosmetics Giant” makes me think of a 10 foot tall drag queen.

Isn't he a big GOP donor?

Not any more

Guess he wasn't using any Night Repair or Swiss Performing Extract based upon what I see

He was on Reagen's Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations, does that automatically mean he was Republican or could something like that be bipartisan?

Leonard Lauder, Leonard Lauder

Men have named you

“Could have”, R17? I’m embarrassed for you.

by Anonymousreply 18June 16, 2025 12:49 AM

“Could of”.

R17 is probably from the North of England.

The brother Ronald is a huge Trumper and actually inspired all the talk about invading Greenland. Boycott Estee Lauder!

There are illiterate people from all over the Anglosphere, R20.
