Dede Wilsey has resigned from the San Francisco Arts Commission. Wilsey is on the board of the San Francisco Opera, and among other things, provides the flowers in the hall each opening night.

If you’ve read Sean Wilsey’s brilliantly written memoir, “Oh The Glory of It All!” you know that Dede Wilsey is one of the most evil stepmothers of all time, not to mention a generally nasty piece of work.
New municipal legislation recently went into effect requiring greater financial disclosure for city commissioners which she, along with a few other socialites, declined to provide. Since she is so used to having San Francisco as her own personal Sim City, this must have seemed like the height of effrontery. As to her departure from the Arts Commission, good riddance to bad rubbish, as my grandmother was fond of saying.
I also think her opening night opera flowers are often ostentatious and ugly, by the way.LikeLike

Really need to read that one.
The flowers never seem to be quite right, though tastefulness isn’t exactly the opera’s forte.LikeLike
