“And Congressman Tallmadge, well, you know I never stop talking about him.” - Abraham Woodhull

You can paint it in any color, but it’s unlikely that anything will change.

Con man and princess get their wish, and fairy tale comes true. Funny, the one small part I never knew… With everything to win, the only thing I lose is you.

Congressman Benjamin Tallmadge

it’s very fine to meet you mrs. woodhull. i seem to remember your husband as a much quieter man.

You will always be my beloved.

during the vietnam war, many vietnamese refugees came to america, a lot being women and their children. an american actress, tippi hedren, flew to sacramento, ca. to visit a refugee camp. she wanted to meet the women who were living there and figure out ways to support them. many of them had lost their husbands in the war and were now left without an income and many had no knowledge of how to begin to provide for themselves and their children. while there, tippi noticed that many of the women were fascinated with her manicured nails. tippi had gotten the idea to fly her manicurist to the refugee camp to teach the women how to do nails, in hopes of giving these women a way to support themselves and their families. tippi had paid for 20 women from the refugee camp to attend beautician school and help them get their licenses & eventually find jobs. about 51% of manicurists in the u.s. are vietnamese and many of them are direct descendants of these 20 women who were given the chance to go to beautician school at the courtesy of tippi. so next time y’all want to mock and make fun of hardworking nail techs and treat them like shit, just remember that this is all because of the labor and the persistence of their ancestors who came here with nothing.
