We Welcome You to Munchkin Land (aka The Treasury)

From this past summer, here is the same deliriously happy couple returning from Fort Knox, with fashion annotations by Mrs. Munchkin.
Tra la la la la la la la la.
My, my…
Doesn’t She look quite the villain?
Oh, yeah. I see that social media are busy observing that they look like villains from a Bond movie. And they do. Especially apt if you consider their summer trip to Fort Knox, ostensibly to watch the eclipse. Or like Goldfinger, are they planning to hoard all the gold? So many details in the photo. The black glove Mrs. Munchkin is wearing. And what’s with that guy in the background? Thanks for the comment.
This is the only place I’ve ever seen these two. Maybe they are just bad photos.
For me it’s mostly her gleefully possessive posture (“mmMine.”), the black glove and that sort of gloating look… and then her strutting off the plane obviously believing herself a queen of high fashion excess and indulgent, aristocratic luxury; looking for everything like a contemporary clone of Cruella DeVille.
I’m sure she’s quite nice, whoever she is, but those pics…
