GemsFromHistoryIn 1862, the King of Siam (as it was formally known) sent several gifts to the American People, and offered President a large number of elephants for use during the Civil War.

GemsFromHistoryDuring World War II, red lips were seen as a bold act of defiance. Adolf Hitler famously “hated red lipstick.” In Allied countries, wearing it became a sign of patriotism and a statement against facism. The American government tapped Elizabeth Arden to create a standard issue lip color for women in service.
