Margaret Thatcher wears Ferrgamos

I mean, I guess if you are a former British Prime Minister, the first women to lead a Western Country, and BFF with Ronald Reagan during the Cold War years, you deserve some expensive Italian navy blue flats.

She stopped by the Pepperdine house tonight, on her way back from Parliament's opening ceremony where she still sits on the House of Lords, and spent an hour greeting students and letting us take photos.

She asked questions, and listened intently. When asked if we were studying British law, Ben replied that we weren't and stuttered a bit. He stuttered because his European Union Law teacher had only just warned him NOT to mention that he was taking EU Law because Margaret Thatcher hates the EU and would freak out that people were not only using, but also teaching EU law.

She was gracious, and funny. Old, but still beautiful and impeccably dressed. One student remarked that she is "still rocking a wicked perm." About half way through, Professor Popovich had to run up to his flat to grab her a glass of scotch and water so apparently she is still rocking in general.
