Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wears a dress calling for ‘taxing the rich’…but she forgets to pay her bill

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the face of the American Democratic left, has created a sensation by going to the Met Gala (Metropolitan Museum) on September 13, 2021, in New York. The slogan “Tax the Rich” was embossed on her stunning white dress created by Brother Vellies designer Aurora James. Scorn is observed at this legendary Manhattan reception organized by fashion pope Anna Wintour, a patron Vogue magazine (Condé Nast Group), and where the all-American elite rushes, on the condition that they pay 35 thousand dollars (32,865 euros) for their place.

“Tax the Rich”: The AOC was very proud of its information campaign. The message is the medium., then she tweeted. So much so that she forgot… to pay her bills. The New York representative to the United States Congress, who is in the motion of progressive Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders, is now in the crosshairs of the Congressional Ethics Committee (Office of Congressional Ethics, OCE) for his de facto wrongful admission. Gifts I paid for only when said committee, independent, looked into the matter.

Details of the investigation were revealed Thursday, March 2. Among the favors she received, AOC benefited from transportation from her home to the Carlyle Hotel, a posh establishment where Woody Allen played jazz, near the Met, to prepare; room in Carlisle; Make-up and hairdressing service. dress, shoes, jewelry, and handbag courtesy of Brother Vellies; and transportation to the Met.

The hairdresser’s bill, $477.73, was sent to the “AOC” team on September 30, 2021. It was not paid until the hairdresser on February 23, 2022 threatened to file a complaint the next day. Effective: On February 24, the invoice was settled. The makeup cost $344.85 and was only paid for on March 16, 2022, despite several reminders stating that the bill was “too late”.

The issue of the “Tax the Rich” actor’s costume is even more complicated, as Aurora James and Brother Vellies have refused to cooperate with the Congressional Ethics Committee’s investigation. What is certain is that the designer sent a first invoice of $2,283.93 (for renting the dress and handbag and purchasing shoes) as early as September 19, 2021. September 20, after discussion with the parliamentary team, an invoice was sent, reduced to $990.76.
