(25,944 posts)Looks like servants would have to bring in pre-loaded plates of food. Oh & BTW...that monstrosity looks like 10 pounds of shit in a 5-pound bag.

But throw a few of those mini "pumpkins" and pinecones in and you can make ANYTHING into a Thanksgiving table centerpiece. OR you can use your just-completed turkey masterpiece that YOU spent all day cooking. That's a pretty doggone great Thanksgiving table centerpiece, too.

(60,010 posts)They photograph like statues...Jared esp. has the same bland facial expression in every pic I have seen of him. They come off as distant, stiff, and downright cold.
reminds me of those Christmas trees that are flocked all white and have only solver and gold bulbs on them.

(23,738 posts)Decorative gourds should be fucking colors of Autumn! And what the fuck is that fucking log doing there? It's taking up room that could be filled with decorative fucking gourds!
I don't get the clamshell either.

The giant clam with gourds looks ridiculous as does the tiny white pumpkin on each plate.

I think Miz t. picked one up at the Lutheran yard sale.
Know what though?
Instead of puttin' all them punkins and stalkey lookin' things, we'll just put the damn turkey in there.
Yessir!
FURST CLASS!

(7,242 posts)If the whole Trump family dies of virulent food poisoning as a result of the load that pile of overdressed beach junk is carrying, will the day after Thanksgiving become a new national public holiday?

(115,735 posts)It's like Martha Stewart's evil twin went mad at the beach and then picked up a few odds and ends at a farmer's market and maybe an abattoir. Are those antlers, and are those clumps of some kind of fur or hair? Did Jeffrey Dahmer take up interior decorating?
That's spectacularly horrible.

A punch bowl?
Or turn it over and use it to cover the traditional Thanksgiving Clam.
Don't worry, dear, the dinner will be a fantastic success. People will talk about it for years. Can you write out my check now, please?

(35,687 posts)It's all mixed up. What do seashells and pine cones have to do with each other? The pumpkins are all piled in there with no artistry whatsoever. Oh, and is that driftwood? Well, then, what do pine cones and driftwood have to do with each other? What are those green things?
OK, here's my new theory. Ivanka knows her dad is circling the drain and she's looking for a new career. This is actually her work and she's sending it out as a trial balloon for Ivanka Trump Floral Design.

(32,712 posts)And even if the point was that the island bar would have the food on it, which is often done, there's no room between the plates and the gaudy centerpiece. It's not practical. Either the plates would need to be stacked or the food would have to be on yet another serving table. I guess that's not a big deal when you're living like a fake billionaire.
