Desirée Glapion Rogers is the descendant of a Creole voodoo priestess named Marie Laveau Glapion. The first time I meet her, she welcomes me into her East Wing laira rhythm and blues tune plays on a white iPod, a potted white orchid perches between two windows, fresh flowers sit on a heavy wooden desk. This is a woman who never sees a wilted bloom. The 49-year-old turns on just enough Southern charm to camouflage an aura of self-assuredness typically reserved for runway models or first ladies. Wearing a crisp white shirt, black patent flats and high-waisted navy slacks that would look terrible on almost anyone else, Rogers talks about her job as White House social secretary.

Determined to move to a place where it snows, says her brother, Rogers stayed up late at night studying, made straight As and ignored the bullies who teased her for being best friends with a little white girl. She moved to Chicago and married John Rogers, a well-connected son of a lawyer and civil rights activist and the great-grandson of a Tulsa, Okla., entrepreneur in the towns Black Wall Street, home of the 1921 race riots that took a thriving black middle class and reduced it to homelessness and misery.

Well, better a voodoo priestess than a radical Muslim.
OMG! What is that monstrosity? Looks like it was supposed to have the “nude” look and at the last minute she decided that wasn’t appropriate and had those strange white patches added under the pearls.
When it comes to fashion, I often find myself asking “Who would ever design such a thing?” But the more important question is “Who would ever wear such a thing?” In the case of this dress, now I know.
*Desirée Glapion Rogers is the descendant of a Creole voodoo priestess named Marie Laveau Glapion.
This is all one needs to know.*
I doubt it. It’s about as plausible as a Louisiana resident claiming to be descended from Napoleon or the Jean Lafitte.
I’m still waiting for the Austin Powers “It’s a man, baby” graphic, sure to come out at some point.
Doesn’t Michelle Obama’s mother (Oba-Hussein’s live-in*, on site mother-in-law) also ACTIVELY practise voodoo/witchcraft in the White House where she is living*?
*Repeat on purpose.
An accolyte to the High Priestess Rogers or the other way round?
Great expression:”humongous heap of human trash”
Is she the one that’s dressing the manchell?
Note the kneepad!
Oh what lovely people. Not since Hillary’s brother Rodham lived-in at the WH ordering whole roasted chickens from the WH mess, eating them in his quarters like a Roman Emperor. Trash, pure whaat tray-ish
And extensive pearl necklace.
"The family has been trying to sell the business because, his parents said, Tareq ran it into the ground, piling up as many as 50 creditors and almost $1 million in debt while he was its president.Among its creditors are the Washington Redskins, for whom Michaele used to be a cheerleader. The couple owes the team $224,000 for season tickets. They also had a $57,000 Carver Mariner yacht, an $80,000 Aston Martin and an Audi that were repossessed.
There is also a $3.5 million fraud suit against the company, plus hundreds of thousands of dollars in credit-card debt and legal fees.
A catering company has sued Tareq Salahi for more than $300,000, claiming he never paid the bill for food for a polo-charity event.
Meanwhile, a purported nonprofit run by the Salahis -- Journey for a Cure, which has claimed to raise millions for research on multiple sclerosis -- was flagged in May by Virginia consumer-affairs officials for failing to apply for tax-exempt status.
Grifters, looters, con artists.
