"She flies in her hairdresser from Beverly Hills. He's responsible for her color."

[Miles Archer]

Melania Trump is preparing herself to move to Washington, D.C. where she will live with President Donald Trump in the White House, according to a new report Wednesday. The first lady has been living in New York with her son Barron as he continues attending private school in Manhattan’s upper west side neighborhood.

“She really cares about entertaining,” a source close to the 46-year-old said while talking about Melania's hosting of “an elegant party” for 46 governors two weeks ago, the announcement about the White House tour and her proactive involvement in the Governors Ball.

“She didn’t want people talking business,” sources told Daily News. “She had a theme for the Governors dinner — ‘Spring Renewal.’ And she’ll be in full bloom when she moves into the White House.”

“She flies in her hairdresser from Beverly Hills, Alen M, who also works in New York City. He's responsible for her color,” another source reportedly said. “They decided recently that she should go blonder. You can see the highlights. The process is called ‘balayage.’”

3. LOL

27. "I wonder what the poor-slob citizens are doing today?" - republican Comrade Casino & Spousal Unit

republicans are just so special.

[RainAndMoreRain]

52. Nice house...

[Maru Kitteh]

63. If you are a gauche 3rd world despot and a Rococo French sex worker, sure.

They are a poor person's idea of the rich; a stupid person's idea of smart people.

[dchill]

82. "A stupid person's idea of smart people."

And that's why it worked so well.

[Brother Buzz]

70. Lots of gold, for sure, but it totally failed the Golden Ratio

[Cha]

2. I don't think she's physically attractive and

she's a birther.. she pushes propaganda.

"she's cares about entertaining".. while the country spirals down to hell.

my contempt knows no limits for these planetary fuckers.

[ailsagirl]

5. As I've said, she looks like a Barbie doll...

and is just about as animated

Hi Cha!!

[Cha]

11. Aloha, ailsagirl!

I think she looks evil

[ailsagirl]

48. Oh, yeah

The narrowed eyes don't exactly help, do they?

[MountCleaners]

80. Her face is so rigid

I think she's Botoxing. Never liked the look of that stuff.

[Me.]

45. THat's Actually Appropriate

As the doll who eventually became Bar*** was originally a German sex toy

[3catwoman3]

53. Like the original...

...Barbie with the squinty eyes.

[SharonAnn]

58. Plastic surgery, facelift, eye lift, cheek implants (that's why so squinty)

And too-large breast implants.

She was actually more natural and prettier before all that surgery, etc.

[MBS]

19. " " " " n/t

[Docreed2003]

24. Too much Botox...

[Cha]

30. Yeah ODed on Botulinum toxin

[dmr]

39. I totally agree, I'm usually reluctant about

commenting on people's looks, but she's always looked plastic and evil to me. I think it's her eyes. No, I know it's her eyes, they just looks empty, cold & mean.

[HipChick]

49. she has had plastic surgery..a lot...so has Ivanka..

[Submariner]

57. What the f**k is she wearing a shower curtain for?

can't she afford any normal clothes?

[anneboleyn]

86. She has her own wind?! She isn't standing on a subway grate like

Marilyn was yet her dress (?) is flinging itself out somehow.

I think they were trying to reference this iconic image (and failing entirely -- Melania does not have any of Marilyn's natural charisma or comedic energy -- she just looks angry all the time):

[montanacowboy]

4. False eyelashes, Botoxed to the Nines

she can barely move her face

Marie Antoinette in the White House

[Miles Archer]

9. Jackie Oh No

She just wants to have parties and talk about how fabulous it is to be fabulous.

Just happy talk, billionaires gushing over how great her hair looks.

And the best part is that she gets to do it all on the taxpayers' dime.

It's the ultimate grift.

Just...fabulous

[MineralMan]

6. That is the second time today I've read the word "balayage."

It's now in my active vocabulary. I love learning new words. I just got back from Googling it. Thanks for showing it to me the second time.

[oasis]

10. Gotta repeal and replace hair color because "gentleman prefer blondes". nt

[niyad]

59. just read the article from marieclaire on this procedure. cannot help but wonder how many

americans know "bespoke".

[MineralMan]

62. I'd guess about 5% of Americans understand that word.

I'd be surprised if it were more than that. Chance would be a fine thing.

You have to be rather a student of British English to have that in your active vocabulary. Since I fancy the British manner of speaking, in all of its dialects, I guess I'm one of those.

BTW, I saw the hair color term first today in a FB post by the millennial daughter of some friends. She said she was having it done soon. I looked it up then.

[niyad]

64. as am I.

[Phentex]

71. I had the process done at least 10 or 15 years ago...

the process itself isn't new at all, not a millennial thing. I'm not saying you were saying that. I'm just pointing out that this is an old technique.

[MineralMan]

72. I had just never seen the word before.

I collect new words like other people collect stamps or thimbles. Every new one is a wonderful find.

It's not often I see a new word twice in one day. Those I make sure I add to my collection.

[Phentex]

74. well we can't all know the words used in every occupation...

and how would we?

We watch jeopardy every night and my husband will say "How did you know that?" And I'll reply the same way he knows some obscure scientific word.

I find that once I hear a new word, I tend to hear it everywhere from then on!

[ymetca]

7. She appears a descendent

of Genghis Khan...

[Hekate]

25. I've often wondered what she looked like at, say, 20. Her eyes are striking...

...but her face is so frozen it's hard to tell what she really started out with.

Different parts of this country have different ethnic mixes, and the ones I grew up with didn't include many of my own Irish heritage, so I was really startled the first time I visited Boston and saw people who looked just like my parents and cousins on every street corner. I hardly know anyone descended from the peoples of the former Soviet Bloc. I only mention this to point out that she might be a common Slovenian "type," or she might have simply had too much surgery.

[JHan]

28. last one I saw was this:

[Hekate]

34. Seriously? Oh shit. I hope she likes the mask she paid for, but this is a sad transformation.

Thanks for the photo.

[JHan]

38. She was 17 in that photo. I got it from the Daily Mail so not sure of the veracity..

but the other photos of her look like a young Melania.

Melania is content to just be an ornament, even her stance on birtherism sounded like an unthinking parroting of her husband's propaganda. She only ever wanted to be a trophy wife.

She's going to be the opposite of Michelle Obama, as Trump is the opposite of Barack - meaning the Trumps are shallow, there's very little substance there. Melania just lacks dynamism and personality.

[bravenak]

37. So she did used to be pretty.

[3catwoman3]

54. Does not even look like the same person.

At soon-to-be 66, I, of course, look older than I did in my high school graduation pic. Bu,t I still look like me.

[mcar]

88. That's her?

Really? What a lovely looking young woman.

[louis-t]

8. She always looks like she's in pain.

[HughBeaumont]

12. She looks like she's seen you before, but can't remember where or when.

[mahina]

69. Right? She always looks really confused.

Confused Steel. It's a look.

[Grammy23]

23. I think she looks like she needs her corrective lens Rx changed.

She usually looks like she is squinting..... which those of us who wear glasses or contacts know is a signal the strength needs to be increased. OR.......Is Melania too vain to wear glasses or squeamish about wearing contacts? LOL.

In any case, her squinty eyed look doesn't make her look exotic or alluring, just like she can't see very well.

[PJMcK]

13. Isn't she Donald's handler for the Kremlin

I mean, she is from Eastern Europe, right?

[Hekate]

29. I wouldn't go that far, but I have wondered lately what Putin has on her family back home. nt

[dembotoz]

14. rich folks live in a differnent world

[OldHippieChick]

15. I am not going to comment on her looks, but I am struck by

her expression and how much it looks like most of Ivanka's expressions. Is that something they take lessons for? Is it meant to look aloof?

[meadowlander]

22. Facial paralysis from too much botox.

[get the red out]

16. As long as hubby pays for it

Out of his own money, I have more things I'm worried about than her hair color (or my own).

[WillowTree]

51. That's what I was thinking. I couldn't care less what they do with their own money.

[Bettie]

17. "Responsible for her color"

Um, medium brown? Wow, how...um, creative.

[jmowreader]

66. It's a little more creative than that

Her color progressively lightens from medium brown up around her ears to dirty blonde at the tips. The real advantage isn't that it looks "natural"...it's that grow-out isn't a problem because there's four inches of uncolored hair between the scalp and the treated hair. Naturally, no one in the National Capital Region (except, of course, all those people in the "Beauty Salons" section of the phone book) can do this so she HAS to fly a guy in from Beverly Hills to do it.

[Bettie]

68. Hey remember people freaking out about the price of presidential haircuts?

What do you think they'd have said about this if the woman in question were the spouse of a guy with a "D" after his name?

[gratuitous]

18. What is something you won't hear complained about on Fox?

Boy, they had a never-ending stream of "outrage" stories whenever Michelle Obama did anything in the public eye, as well as a well-stocked cupboard of insulting nicknames for her. Sarah Palin wanted to make s'mores on a family camping trip because she thought it would piss off Michelle Obama, who was an advocate for better childhood nutrition (the commie!).

Will any popular media outlet dare touch this story? Magic 8 Ball says, "Not on your Nelly!"

[tavernier]

20. She looks like those ppl who go on "botched"

One surgery too many.

[hatrack]

21. Jaw gaping at the deep, nay, profound shallowness on display here . . .

[Vinca]

26. Other than that, I bet she's just like all the female Trump voters.

[Hekate]

31. Filthy rich? Somehow I doubt it. More like Marie Antoinette.

[milestogo]

32. You can tell she likes to entertain by her wardrobe.

[Motley13]

33. introduce Alen M to groper

he definitely needs help with his flaps & transplants

[HAB911]

35. Dan Savage: I f*cking hate Melania Trump

“God knows there’s enough hate in the world and I don’t want to add to the sum total, but forgive me, I have got to get this off my chest: I f*cking hate Melania Trump,” Savage said during his latest installment of his “Savage Love” podcast, the Wrap reports.

“I’m not alone in loathing Donald Trump’s third wife,” he continued. “She’s married to a misogynist after all. Odds are good her husband hates her too.”

“But there are some folks on the left who not only don’t hate her, they view her as some sort of sympathetic figure,” he said. “The pretty princess in the tower locked up by the orange ogre with the bad combover, a princess desperately blinking out distress signals during swearing-in ceremonies and inaugural balls.”

Savage argued that liberals have an “undeservedly charitable view” of the First Lady, insisting they believe physically attractive people must also be pretty on the inside.

[C_U_L8R]

36. Republicans, you're paying for this too.

Let us know when you've had enough.

[procon]

40. As my ex would say, "Looks like she was rode hard and put away wet." nt

[Initech]

41. But... but... the liberals are the out of touch elitists!

[CountAllVotes]

42. Great color alright!

Looks not so hot no matter what she does, color or not!

[NurseJackie]

43. She has made some very questionable choices (or received VERY bad advice).

Her appearance is so unnatural ... it's quite disturbing.

[redstatebluegirl]

44. Coloring my hair was one of the things I gave up to save money.

I hate to think what her color costs her!

[Phentex]

73. balayage is expensive but I'm not sure why...

it's just a different highlighting technique. Maybe it's more subtle than conventional. My hair grew too fast to keep up so I stopped that right away. I bet she does pay a small fortune to have hers done.

[enid602]

46. mel

She strikes me as the type who keeps one eye on her watch, and the other on your wallet.

[MFM008]

47. Her eyes get any narrower

They will look like surgical scars.

[NurseJackie]

61. Too much filler or implants. Her eyes look the same way as Wayne Newton's do...

... I believe she's obsessed with each aspect of her face as individual pieces, rather than how the entire picture looks.

[mnhtnbb]

50. Uh oh. I see some wrinkles in that botoxed face. Crow's feet.

My guess is that she's decided she'd better move to DC to keep an eye on Donnie boy or he might be out looking for a trade-in.

[3catwoman3]

56. If I were her, I would be...

...thrilled and relieved if he went looking elsewhere and never came near me again. Hell, I would facilitate it.

[mnhtnbb]

60. Depends upon the pre-nup.

Might not be advantageous to her. She may be hoping she'll be the last and he'll die and leave it all to her.

And with the way things are going, I wouldn't consider death out of the question for him.

[Ilsa]

65. I hope there's nothing in the pre-nup about things like

facial aging, weight gain, etc. If there isn't, I'd intentionally put on 25 pounds to turn him off, maybe cause him to start a divorce.

[TexasBushwhacker]

75. He was rather stingy with Marla's prenup

She got $2 Million, plus child support. I realize we would all like to be so lucky, but Trump's net worth was $1.6 Billion at the time (1999).

[Jane Austin]

78. Also pores so large

they are visible even with makeup.

And I don't even see all that well.

[MineralMan]

55. That face says, "I'll get you, my pretty. Your little dog, too."

I see only malevolence in it. Am I wrong?

[Kingofalldems]

67. Are we paying for this?

[manicraven]

76. Is this what Melania was going for with the eyes (clearly they've changed)?

[Jane Austin]

79. Acckk!

Who is that?

[MountCleaners]

81. Jocelyn Wildenstein

...fixture in New York tabloid media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jocelyn_Wildenstein

Jocelyn Dayannys da Silva Bezarra Wildenstein (née Périsset;[1] born August 5, 1945) is a European-New York City socialite[5] known for her extensive facial surgeries (which has earned her the monikers "Catwoman" and "Bride of Wildenstein&quot , her divorce from late billionaire businessman Alec Wildenstein in 1999,[3][6] and for her extravagant lifestyle — she once calculated her yearly telephone bill at $60,000 and food and wine costs at $547,000.[7]

[greatauntoftriplets]

77. Too much make up, too much surgery, too much botox.

It takes too much life out of her face. I agree with the others who say she looks like a Barbie doll.

[Rex]

83. She seems as fake as her husband.

[sunonmars]

84. She should stay in NY, They aint gonna be in the WH much longer....

[Skittles]

85. she is so fucking creepy

waxy as a an embalmed corpse

[miyazaki]

87. Looks like one of those disguised aliens on that 80's tv show "V". n/t

[pinboy3niner]

89. Like this?

[miyazaki]

90. Rofl. That's the one.
