Roberta Mccain

Last week we declared Roberta McCain a woman of style, and this undated tour of her Washington home confirms it. Below she reveals that she loves Asian antiques, hates her granddaughter's stilettos, and bought a carpet for $20 at a junk shop.

In her bedroom she shows some family pictures--she can't find any photos of "Johnny," as she calls him, but there is a picture of his wife. "There's Cindy when they were married. She was the prettiest thing I've ever laid my eyes on. I'm just crazy about her."

The cameraman asks what she thinks of Cindy wearing heels while walking around on crutches. "I like that, but I don't like those five-inch [heels] on Cindy--I mean, Meghan. I think they're unbecoming. But, you know," she concludes, "that's youth!"

In this video, the 96-year-old walks so fast that her guests have trouble keeping up with her.

Am I the only one who finds her penchant for commenting on the value of her many possessions tacky?
Lord, I'd hate to be the poor shlub who dusts that place.

She is a hoot. I would love to know her.

I kept thinking, "WAIT, focus on that a little while longer."

Fascinating.

I think I'd feel more comfortable in Marian Robinson's home.

As the wife of an Admiral, Roberta has clearly lived a good life. I wonder if she embraced Cindy immediately when John started cheating on his first wife? I would hope Roberta had a thing or two to say to her son about family values first before he married Cindy.
