Pretty sure the last shot came from her missing hat. Have a peek at military. com and search remastered. You’ll see pretty clearly in the Zapruder film it possibly came 007 style from her conveniently missing hat. Interesting dream btw. Cheers

I didn’t know this and I am a big Jackie freak. Weird the stuff that vanishes when famous people die.

This is incredible! How did you find out. Who knew that the hat went. I bet it is in a family trunk somewhere as someones guilty secret. It must have fallen off her head on to the roadside. Fascinating.

I read the same article before you posted this and must believe the hat is tucked away by the Kennedy family as part of their grand effort to reign thru mystery, glory, inaction, and salacious airs.

Unfortunately I can’t entertain the cultural resonance of the suit without thinking about Parker Posey in The House of Yes which I watched by accident on netflix a year ago. Big fucking mistake. But no question about it, The Pink Suit’s pepto bismol Pink belongs to the realm of ideal forms!

As for Jackie, she is the best Kennedy because she was not a Kennedy! Fuck the Kennedys. Sorry Taylor Swift, but the true Kennedy allure is their luscious hair. That’s THE secret.

One of my favorite Jackie anecdotes comes from George Balanchine. I studied Balanchine extensively this past year for a poetry series project (to what success, unknown). Balanchine was Jackie’s very first white house guest – and (naturally) became smitten with her during the visit. After the visit, he wrote her a few nice letters. Always obsessed with Americana, Balanchine (to read about their visit, see a page from a good Balanchine biography written by my relative- http://bit.ly/1jwGEcI ).

When interviewed about the experience, Balanchine divulged (with broken english styled with charming french/petrograd accent), … “she looks like a pussycat”.

Balanchine’s letters to Jackie describe his wish that she take on the role of “spiritual savior of America”. Not in a religious sense, but to “distinguish between material things and things of the spirit– art, beauty”.

Maybe you were dreaming about her because National Geographic hit all media cylinders to promote “Killing Kennedy, a docu-drama”. This timely resurgence of Kennedy worship strikes me as a fantastic marketing coup.

Maybe in your dream you were keeping her head safe from movie directors, social media marketers, and hallmark holiday sensationalists– preserving the pink hat in its ideal form, on a head, in a box.

But your dream is not your fault! Blame Marina Oswald Porter! Jezebel wrote compellingly about her the other day with a defensive piece titled, “Hey, It’s Not Too Late to Blame Marina Oswald for JFK’s Death!”
