.@DrOz and Marina Abramovic date night?
THREAD 🧵1️⃣
On Tuesday night, Oct. 26th 2021 Dr. Oz posted the picture below on his Instagram. On the left is noted "spirit cooker" Marina Abramovic. I assumed the woman on the right was Dr. Oz's wife.

I was wrong.

The other woman is Suzan Sabanci Dincer and she is the co-chair of the American Turkish Society's board of directors. The Society was throwing its annual gala that evening at The Plaza and at some point during the evening she posed for the photo with @DrOz and Marina.

For reference, here is a photo of @DrOz's wife Lisa and she's clearly not in that photo from the gala. But perhaps she was there and just not in that particular photo?

Maybe, but after searching 761 photos of the event, I found no trace of her.

Before I link the the photos of @DrOz and Marina I did find, let's talk about Marina Abramovic for a moment.

She's a well known performance artist who is closely associated with "spirit cooking."

Perhaps some readers will be kind enough to provide info links for others.

At events like this, posing with someone against a backdrop doesn't mean that you went there with them. The co-chair Suzan attended with her husband so she wasn't with @DrOz. But Oz and Marina were photographed sitting next to each other.

In fact @DrOz and Marina Abramovic seemed downright chummy. There were lots of pictures of them sitting together

In this photo you can see that @DrOz has a man sitting on his right so that's not his date. And while Marina does have a man sitting on her left, he's the husband of the previously mentioned co-chair Suzan so he's probably not Marina's date.

His name's Haluk and here he is with his wife Suzan

But back to @DrOz and Marina. They certainly seemed to be paying a lot of attention to one another. Then again, they both have very interesting careers as performance artists and probably have a lot in common to discuss

Let's face it, in their own sinister way @DrOz and Marina sort of make a cute couple.
Not that they are anything more than tablemates but, that body language though.

Not sure why Mrs. Oz couldn't make it that night. Maybe we'll find out some day.

And Marina certainly had @DrOz's ear for most of the night.

There are a lot of fun photos here. I wonder if anyone will make memes out of any of them?

What could she be whispering?

(Off topic: I LOVE the masked help)

Now if I lived in New Jersey, worked in New York, and was planning a Senate run in Pennsylvania like @DrOz is, I sure as heck wouldn't be out on the town (without my wife) hanging out with a spirit cooker like Marina Abramovic.
It just looks bad.

Now if you weren't invited to this shindig, here's your chance to at least pretend you were there.

Just photoshop yourself in front of this backdrop!

I'm sure no memers will misuse this image to produce photos of extra attendees.

Anyways, that's all I've got for now. Here's the link to the whole public Flickr album if you want to have fun digging through it like I did.

Maybe someone will even find more photos of @DrOz and Marina by checking out other social media feeds.
