    Apr 21 2025
    In this exciting double Done and Dunne bonus, we explore the life of Betsy Bloomingdale, the legendary hostess and Queen of California, at least as it concerns the reins of power of politics, royalty, and Hollywood. The first part of our Betsy coverage includes all the basics, a bit about her relationship with the legendary designer Billy Haines, and her fabulous style with entertaining too. No one hosted a party like Betsy. We follow on with Betsy Bloomingdale and her fabulous haute couture and jewelry. As for the clothing part, Betsy has so many stories to share from her fashion retrospective in 2009 encompassing 35 years of style. After Betsy passes, a select few of her jewels are auctioned. The details about these pieces are simply incredible and continue to show Betsy's practical side, even if it is high-end practical.
