Rafaela’s budding interest in fashion and Tamara’s painting techniques give the story, along with its setting in 1920s Paris, a great appeal for historical fiction readers, as well as art and biography fans. I found this to be an engrossing tale, with fascinating period details and excellent character development. Tamara’s character, however, is an intriguing mix of credulous wonder and grudging admiration that has the reader questioning her motives. Mostly told through Rafaela’s perspective, we find in her an honest protagonist, sympathetically portrayed and easily liked. Once La Belle Rafaela was finished and set to appear at the Salon, selling even before the event, two mysterious art enthusiasts begin to vie for Tamara’s remaining works – especially the ones featuring Rafaela. Destitute and nearing desperation, a chance meeting with Tamara turned into a lucrative job, and eventually a relationship between the two women. On her way from the United States to Italy, Rafaela Fano stole away to France to escape an arranged marriage. So the next time someone tries to tell you Polis is a moderate, just remember the governor thought appointing a meat-is-murder vegan to the state veterinary board was a great idea.In this stunningly intimate reimagining of an important year in the life of Tamara de Lempicka, we follow the young woman who was her muse for several famous paintings, in particular La Belle Rafaela. The Fence Post is also circulating a grassroots petition opposing her nomination. The Colorado Farm Bureau, the Colorado Livestock Association, and the non-partisan agricultural publication The Fence Post have all called on Polis to withdraw the nomination.
He cited the 11-member State Fair Board, which now has just one Republican - Coram’s wife, Dianna - and no representation from anyone who lives east of Interstate 25.Ĭoram told Colorado Politics he believes he has “more than enough votes to block Kessler’s appointment,” so that’s good news. Don Coram says the appointment is part of a larger effort by Polis to purge Republicans from state boards and commissions. Kessler said in a Facebook post that the bill was a first step to ending the consumption of chickens and eggs. He also claimed that Kessler’s appointment is part of “the First Gentleman’s agenda.” First Gentleman Marlon Reis is an animal-rights activist who played a behind-the-scenes role during the 2020 session on a bill requiring that all eggs produced in Colorado come from a cage-free environment. Jerry Sonnenberg is Colorado’s First Husband Marlon Reis, a longtime animal rights activist. The real force behind the appointment according to State Sen. Polis certainly wouldn’t stand by an appointee who posted racist content or lambasted liberal constituencies as rapists and murderers, so that explanation is outright ludicrous. When questioned about Kessler’s activity on social media, Polis’ office laughably claimed he doesn’t actively monitor the social media of his appointees to state boards. Kids experience 4‑H in every county and parish in the country through in-school and after-school programs, school and community clubs and 4‑H camps. In 4‑H programs, kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like health, science, agriculture and civic engagement in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles.
Kessler’s criticism of 4-H is especially disturbing given the organization’s long track record of providing youth development programs for kids and teens in rural agricultural communities across the state. Kessler is also a firm proponent of the idea that meat is murder, just look at her Quora account. The state veterinary board oversees the routine practice of artificial insemination and ova transplantation of cattle.īy every indication Kessler appears to be a PETA enthusiast who believes slaughtering cattle is tantamount to murder and milking cows is equivalent to sexual abuse. Polis is getting blasted by the agricultural community for appointing radical animal rights activist Ellen Kessler to the state’s veterinary board, Colorado Politics reports.
