So, just kind of a philosophical question: do you think if Bill and Hillary had been able to have another child, he/she would be like Chelsea in the sense that she doesn’t seem to be a troublemaker and never really has been one? I know in your story Jessica doesn’t really cause trouble necessarily but she’s maybe more rambunctious than Chelsea is in real life but you’ve portrayed Jessica to be really devoted to Hillary? My mom said that both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have kids who are really committed to them and that’s not typical for politicians. Maybe Trump is decent to his kids but still a jackass at the same time lol 😂 people are complicated. I’m just asking that because I noticed that you portray all of Hillary’s kids in the story you’re writing as being committed to her and I don’t know if you’d connect that to Chelsea being committed to Hillary and think that her other hypothetical children would be too. I wish they’d had more kids though because it would be interesting to see what they’d be like in life. 😩

OMG I'm so sorry I didn't answer this ask sooner, anon! I've been meaning to and loved getting it but never found a few moments to sit down and answer it until now!

Yeah, I mean ultimately we'll sadly never know what a second or third child of Bill and Hillary's would have been like 😢 and yeah I wish they had been able to have two or three kids also, not just because we know they love kids and were probably desperate for a another but also because like you said, it would have been interesting to see how they turned out and what they were like.

And yeah, everybody's different personality wise. Maybe their hypothetical second child would have been similar to Chelsea behavior and career wise but on the other hand, maybe that person would have been the complete opposite and had a harder time adjusting to being in the spotlight and being a presidents child, especially since they would be younger than Chelsea was when Bill got elected. We'll never know. There are lots of cases of famous siblings where one is more "troubled" than the other sibling or the rest of the family. But yeah, I sometimes wonder even if the hypothetical child had struggles or issues or something, if they would still be devoted to their parents like Chelsea is or not.

I don't think I've ever discussed this with anyone in the fandom and I think this is the first time I'm getting this thought out of my head but sometimes I wonder if a second Billary child would have been more on the creative side and become an actor or musician or something rather than go into politics or work for the foundation, or something along those lines. But yeah, we'll never know 😥

I don't think I'll ever write it but I've had an idea bouncing around in my head for YEARS that is half canon, half AU taking place somewhere over the last couple of years where Hillary and Bill have a younger daughter who still deeply loves her parents and sister but she isn't as adjusted as Chelsea and has her own struggles and demons. And her behaviour ends up in the tabloids, affects the 2016 campaign etc and puts strain on their family (at least at the beginning of the story lol) even though at the end of the day, she's their daughter/sister and they love her. I don't think I'll ever write it because I don't know how people would respond and I'm worried it would become the OC's story and less of a Billary fic but it's a fic idea I still think of ALL the time, still years later and certain specific scenes I just can't get out of my head so we'll see I guess lol. Never say never.

And speaking of Piece by Piece, Jessica and Chelsea are pretty different personality wise (both real Chelsea and story Chelsea lol) but yeah in the fic, they still love each other dearly despite their differences and are obviously both committed to Hillary. Piece by Piece started when Jessica was a senior in college and she gets pregnant at the beginning but my headcanon is that she was pretty wild and rebellious in high school and college and then getting pregnant caused her to "settle down" and quickly have to grow up. Maybe I'll write a flashback one shot one day where her and Chelsea are teenagers and you'll see Jess's rebellious streak 😝 lol. No promises but maybe one day, you never know. Might be fun to write hehe.

And yeah I think I did write Jessica and the other girls being committed and super close with Hillary because of how close Hillary and Chelsea are in real life and how devoted Chelsea is to her parents. I try to incorporate canon elements into my stories even though they are AUs.

But also with Jessica, don't forget that it was just her and Hillary on their own for the first 3 years of Jessica's life so of course they would have a special and intense bond because of that, compared to Hillary's relationships with her other daughters. But overall, they all deeply love their mother and are committed to her and vice versa.

Anyways, I rambled long enough and don't know if I actually answered your question or not lol but thank you so much for the ask! I absolutely loved answering it and getting some stuff out of my head that has been stuck in there for a while haha. Sorry again for the huge delay in answering and have a great day/night!!

long live the queen!!! do you have any hiatus book recommendations for a starving reader?? 🥺🥺🥺

Ahaha, oh boy. How much time you got?

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the books I have read, am reading, or am planning to read, from about the last 6-8 months. This excludes books that I am re-reading and first read a long time ago, that I have previously recommended, or which disappointed me (because the purpose, after all, is for things that you WANT to read). It would take forever to try to summarise these, but you can probably see what my tastes run to, and do some investigation to see if any of them look like they grab you.

Happy reading!

Open Book by Jessica Simpson: I love her so much!!

The Lady Gets Lucky by Joanna Shupe: WAY more fun than The Heiress Hunt

The Earl Takes All by Lorraine Heath: this book was SO bonkers (twin brother takes his dead twin's place after his brother was killed by a gorilla and fools his brother's widow so she doesn't lose the baby she's pregnant with) and I just loved it.

The Destruction of Hillary Clinton by Susan Bordo: Like, I'm never going to stop being furious that she was forced to change her last name and get rid of her glasses and start dressing more feminine like justice for Hillary Rodham even if Hillary Clinton obviously made some mistakes in her professional career.

Either romance or nonfiction, just the same as every year lol.

Are you going to continue your new story about Jessica?

Yes!! Actually sitting down to hopefully work on it a bit before going to sleep, right now.

I started writing a oneshot and got a little sidetracked and for some reason my brain was insisting I finish the oneshot before starting the new chapter. But then I got stuck and stopped writing the oneshot as well haha. Work has still been super busy the last few weeks so whenever I had free time to write, I either fell asleep before I had the chance to or just had enough energy to watch TV. Things are still gonna be busy the next little while because our new hire quit unexpectedly last week (of course) but I ended up calling in sick on Friday and I think the extra day off was the mental reset I needed because I finally got some ideas and writing motivation again.

I think I'm just gonna incorporate the oneshot as a chapter in the fic since its the same universe and time period. And it inadvertently turned into Jeff and Jessica original fiction anyways haha

I know it's been a while since I updated it lol. I definitely didn't mean to abandon it and leave you guys hanging for this long lol. I miss Jessica and the other characters and that whole universe so I am definitely hoping to get back to writing and updating ASAP.

Thanks so much for your interest and for asking! I wasn't sure if anyone cared about the story anymore tbh so your question definitely gave me some extra motivation to continue it and made me really happy that someone is still interested at least! 😊

Jessica McClintock, 90, Dies; Dressed Generations in Lace and Satin Jessica McClintock, a fashion designer whose romantic, lacy confections dressed generations of women for their weddings and proms, died on Feb. 16 at her home in San Francisco. She was 90. The cause was congestive heart failure, said her sister, Mary Santoro. In 1969, Ms. McClintock was a newly divorced mother and had been teaching science and music to sixth graders in Cupertino, Calif., when she invested $5,000 in a San Francisco dress business called Gunne Sax. (In creating the name, the founders, Eleanor Bailey and Carol Miller, had riffed on the idea of a “sexy gunny sack,” according to Vogue magazine.) Soon after, Ms. McClintock became the sole owner, designer and saleswoman. She had no design training, but she could sew. Inspired by those she called San Francisco’s “flower children,” she began making calico, lace and beribboned pastiches known as granny dresses. It was a style — a little bit Victorian, a little bit prairie — that hippies in the Haight-Ashbury section had popularized by putting together the wares of vintage clothing stores. Gunnes, as Ms. McClintock’s dresses were known, became a cult item, and Gunne Sax became a wildly successful business. By the mid-1970s, the dresses could be found in department stores across the country. For just over $50 (the equivalent of about $250 today), you might score an ankle-length, cinched-bodice Victorian number at the Dillard’s at your local mall. That is what a 27-year old Hillary Rodham did for her wedding to Bill Clinton in October 1975 at their home in Fayetteville, Ark. She had completed her work for the House Judiciary Committee on the impeachment case against President Richard M. Nixon and had moved to Arkansas to be with Mr. Clinton while he ran, unsuccessfully, for a House seat. They both found work teaching at the University of Arkansas School of Law. (He had proposed to her twice before and had twice been refused. The third time he asked, in early October, she relented. As she recalled in a phone interview, “Bill said, ‘Let’s hurry up and do it next week before you change your mind.’”) Mrs. Clinton thought she would just throw on a dress from her closet, but her mother, Dorothy Rodham, said no way: She had to wear something new for her wedding. They headed to Dillard’s. “I saw this dress and fell in love with it,” Mrs. Clinton said. “I felt acutely that it was meant to be. I couldn’t have done better if I’d been looking for a month. It fit my aesthetic and my sensibility. It was a kind of hippy Victorian, I loved the whole look of it, and I felt like the wedding gods were with me when I went shopping with my mom.” Mrs. Clinton is not the only political figure or celebrity Ms. McClintock dressed for a special event. Another is Representative Jackie Speier, who serves California’s 14th District, in the Bay Area. Ms. McClintock designed a wedding dress for her. (Ms. Speier called her “the fashion designer for Democrats” because of her inclusive price points, though Ms. McClintock was a registered Republican.) Vanna White, who has made a career out of elegantly flipping the letters on the game show “Wheel of Fortune” clad in satiny sheaths, did so for a time in Jessica McClintock gowns. But Ms. McClintock’s bread and butter was also in gussying up young women for their proms and quinceañeras and even elementary school graduations, particularly in the heyday of the 70s, as they danced to Fleetwood Mac or Peter Frampton, their hair done in Dorothy Hamill-style bobs. As the decades marched along, so did Ms. McClintock’s styles, from pale Victorians and Great Gatsby-esque satins in the 1970s to poofy silk taffeta in the ’80s to more streamlined dresses in iridescent silk in the ’90s and beyond. In 1999, when her business, a private company, turned 30, sales were at $140 million, according to Women’s Wear Daily. She operated 26 stores around the country, marketed a fragrance, Jessica, and had licensing agreements for handbags, jewelry, china, eyeglasses, bedding and home furnishings. Jessie Earl Gagnon was born on June 19, 1930, in Presque Isle, in northern Maine. Her father, Rene Arthur Gagnon, was a salesman; her mother, Verna (Roberts) Gagnon, was a beautician. They divorced when Jessie was 2. Her mother, before she became a hairdresser, baked cookies and played the piano in movie theaters to make ends meet. Jessie learned to sew from her maternal grandmother, who cared for her for a time. She was attending Boston University when she met Alston Frank Staples, a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After they married, Mr. Staples found work near San Francisco developing a metal used in rocketry, and Jessie earned her degree in education at San Jose State University, taught in Cupertino and had a son, Scott, with Mr. Staples. The boy was just 8 when Mr. Staples was killed in a traffic accident. She married his best friend, Fred McClintock, an Eastern Airlines pilot, and moved back East, but when the marriage failed she returned to California. Mr. McClintock had always called her Jessica, and the name stuck. Ms. McClintock became the focus of a bitter labor dispute in the early 1990s. When a former contractor for her company went bankrupt and did not pay its seamstresses’ wages, labor activists declared her company morally liable for their work, organized a boycott of her brand and took out an ad in The New York Times with the headline “Let Them Eat Lace.” The boycott lasted more than three years, and Ms. McClintock received death threats, said Ms. Santoro, her sister, who was the company’s director of sales. The boycott ended in 1996, when Ms. McClintock signed an agreement with Asian Immigrant Women Advocates, a community organization, to promote fair labor practices and establish an education fund for garment workers. In addition to her sister, Ms. McClintock is survived by her son. Her longtime partner, Ben Golluber, who was chief financial officer of the company, died in 1998. Ms. McClintock retired from the day to day management of her company in 2013, only to return a year later. Since the early 1980s, the company headquarters were in a commercial building in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood, but Ms. McClintock sold the space in about 2016 and thereafter ran the business from her home office. She lived in a Queen Anne Victorian house in Pacific Heights, which she bought from the filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. With a decorator’s help she turned it into a romantic fantasy, with Venetian chandeliers, billowing pink satin curtains, inlaid marble floors and Aubusson carpets — just the right backdrop for the Old World fashions she favored. “I have a romantic feeling about life,” Ms. McClintock told a reporter in 2007. “I like Merchant-Ivory movies and candlelight and beautiful rooms. I like the patina of age.” Source link Orbem News #Dies #dressed #generations #Jessica #Lace #McClintock #Satin
