...when I saw her sitting in front of those shelves was a short story I read years ago titled "The Grey Ones" by J.B. Priestley. The story is about a guy who is talking to his therapist about how he suspects that the world is being taken over by a certain kind of person who sucks the life and joy and energy out of everything and everyone they come in contact with. I don't remember a lot of the details of the story but DeVos would have fit right into it, especially with this image. A true "grey one".

John Heilman’s place is easily the winner of the TV backdrops. He has several that are really impressive.

The flip side to DeVos is this guy

Are color coordinated and are so generically uncreative. Boring.

She has all that money and all she can do is boring.
