However, Senator Harry Reid, who represented the state of Nevada – home to Area 51, believed there was a mystery to be solved

⭐Monica Geller ⭐

📌 Signature style: Polished, timeless, practical

🛍️ 2021 go-to brands: @YSL, @Prada, @alexachungLDN

📸 Her 2021 style muse: Katie Holmes Image
By season 10 Monica’s wardrobe erred on the elegant and smart end of the style spectrum, and I’d hope it’s the aesthetic she’d stay true to now she’s in her 50s.

I’d like to think she would love that velvet and corduroy suiting is considered a classic option now Image

This week’s chaotic and contradictory advice on travel is all part of the growing use of fear to control the public, she believes.

⚡️A tactic which has been supercharged by the Covid pandemic.

"It’s like a torture scenario”
