Hey, Claire!

The Robinson/Berlinski interviews over at Uncommon Knowledge have been great so far, part two especially. To hear Claire articulate Thatcher's moral approach to free markets should be enough to make the scales fall from even a liberal's eyes - which, if nothing else, would be cheaper than plastic surgery.
But answer me this, Claire: what on earth is that you are wearing around your swan-like neck? I mean, inquiring minds want to know!

Curses Klavan! You beat me to it by about 5 minutes.

Re: Hey, Claire!
Being a big fan of Uncommon Knowledge (marketing note: it's why I subscribed to Ricochet without thinking twice, since Peter Robinson was involved), I've been watching too, and wondered the same thing. My guess would be (especially given her pets) it's a big cat, such as a tiger or panther, but I'm not sure.
Trivia note: She earned special mention in the history of UK -- this is the first UK interview I can recall (including the PBS television series which ran for years) where the interviewee (Berlinski) asked the interviewer (Robinson) questions -- so far several, in fact!

I think its fabulous, and I hear you might be able to get one like it for 10
lira or so.

I like it too. Whatever it may be, I'm certain it has nothing to do with witchcraft, given recent sensitivity in the body politic on that issue.
My guess is that it's Turkish in origin--perhaps symbolic of the natural hegemony over the world's affairs to which Americans are entitled. [Previous sentence intended to be ironic].

Put her in a potato sack and clodhoppers, she'd still look like a Bond girl.
Re: Hey, Claire!
I believe it's a swan.

Certainly better than an albatross. And the amulet of Salazar Slytherin is accounted for. So it's either a fashionable taser, or it gives her +3 Dexterity.

Re: Hey, Claire!
My guess is its volcanic in origin.

A Black Swan?

Re: Hey, Claire!
It's obviously a cat.
Though, I admit I hadn't even noticed her jewelry until I came upon this post. I was too busy listening to her words and playing tetrus to pay any attention to such trivia.

Re: Hey, Claire!
It's definitely a cat of some sort. Specifically, I believe it's a leopard. Trust me, I'm an artist. We know about these things.

I'm a cat, and I definitely know about these things. I've noticed a distinct lack of dogs at Ricochet.

I don't like to show pictures of my basset hound (Cavea Trifecta Smith), as she has three heads, which some find disturbing. She's awesome at Halloween, however, and could easily handle even Claire's cats.

A close-up. Purchased at a local junk store. Interpret it as you will.

Just remember this the next time all you men are tempted to sneer at Christine O'Donnell. I called it.

Hah! Told y'all it was a leopard!

Nonono, Katie. Near as I can tell, it's a victim of bubonic plague being harrassed by a monkey. Which is frankly unexpected. Don't think anyone had that in the pool.
Re: Hey, Claire!
Alright, alright, since none of you are on the ball--it's a free-market leopard. Obviously.

That gives you +3 Dexterity. Everybody wins!
