China.

Mr. Personality, Xi Jinping, has escaped Beijing and the insufferable business of greeting Americans

and is on his first road trip abroad with his significant other Peng Liyuan. Here the PRC's First Laddie and First Lady are getting off a plane somewhere.

Somewhere cold. They went to Russia, maybe it's there. Is her hand bigger than his?  Xi looks panda bear-huggy there, Peng looks like she's taking some oath of office, like Pope Francis. Other right hand, Peng.

The media have been captivated by Peng, a former star singer in China. 
                                                                           

                                                                        So attractive.

Vivacious.

Glam.

It all reminds me of Wang Guangmei's trip to Indonesia with hubby/prez Liu Shaoqi in 1963.

Wang charmed President Sukarno in her form-fitting dress and pearls.

                                                     That glam came back to haunt Wang. Never forget class struggle, Peng.

 It reminds me of "the Jackie Kennedy of China," Gu Kailai.

                                                                        Ditto.

And, speaking of being in the dock, it reminds me of Madame Mao her ownself. Before:

                                                                          And after.

Hazardous job being First Lady of China, hazardous job. Take care, Peng. Avoid pearls.
