Today is the tenth anniversary of the Clinton Foundation, and former President Clinton’s 65th birthday. (Happy retirement age, Mr. Clinton!) The William J. Clinton Foundation works to protect the environment, increase economic opportunity, and improve global health and agriculture; and to commemorate its decade of service, the Clinton Foundation is hosting a gala dinner and live auction at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
Among the items up for bid is this one-of-a-kind, 18 carat gold pendant and black walnut box designed by fine-jeweler Waris Ahluwalia’s label, House of Waris. “I’ve always seen HOUSE of WARIS as a platform to create and collaborate with people I admire,” said Alhuwalia, who has a wide choice of friends and collaborators to celebrate. The designer’s first encounter with our 42nd President was in his college years, when he worked with the Secret Service (another surprise career for Mr. Ahluwalia!). “That should have led me into a nice career in politics—how I ended up in fashion is beyond me,” he says. Clinton must have been impressed.
The piece was made entirely by hand in New York, by a goldsmith, an engraver, and a furniture maker for the box. “It makes me proud that craftsmanship still exists here in our city,” he says. The message, “Omnia Vincit Amor” (”Love Conquers All”), is “something I believe is true and corresponds to the incredible work the Foundation has done over the years.”

Designer used to be a ... Secret Service Agent.
There’s a photo at the Twitter feed above that appears to be a blurred picture of him between two teenage girl.
Another photo of him on the thread with Ms. Spirit Cooking herself.
The pendant he designed and Clinton Foundation Sold said
“OMNIA
VINCIT
AMOR”
Amor Vincit Omnia means “Love Conquers All.” Not sure why the words are reversed.

This is the designer/former Secret Service agent who apparently was with Bill Clinton on the Lolita Express Trips - if that actually happened.
Turn out Eric Braverman, former Clinton Foundation CEO might be in FBI PROTECTIVE CUSTODY right now..!
And the FBI was so freaked out about his safety that they spread the rumor that he’d DEFECTED TO RUSSIA..!
Can you believe this...?
