  In this exciting double Done and Dunne bonus, we explore the life of Betsy Bloomingdale, the legendary hostess and Queen of California, at least as it concerns the reins of power of politics, royalty, and Hollywood. The first part of our Betsy coverage includes all the basics, a bit about her relationship with the legendary designer Billy Haines, and her fabulous style with entertaining too. No one hosted a party like Betsy. We follow on with Betsy Bloomingdale and her fabulous haute couture and jewelry.
