melania and Brigette

[niyad]

(is anybody besides me reminded of Nancy Sinatra doing "these boots are made for walking" in seeing Madam Macron in that outfit? and no, it is not a dig)

and what is that spot on mel's skirt?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. It does have a bit of a '60s vibe.

I think it's a bit too short (it makes her arms look too long) but with a couple more inches at the hem it would be a nice dress. Is that a bug on Melania's skirt?

[niyad]

2. the 60's vibe describes it very well. and yes, I think a bug, because it isn't in the other

pics at that link.

[Heartstrings]

4. Looks like a fly....hmmmmm.....

[LisaM]

5. In that context, Melania's dress has a 40's vibe.

They both look seriously unhappy, let me just add.

[niyad]

8. if I had just been mauled by the tiny-fingered vulgarian, I think I would look very unhappy.

I did notice, in one pic as drumpf and mel got off AF!, she was ahead of him, and he was trying to reach for her hand.

[msongs]

3. the unhappy couple. maybe they wishing they were single again nt

[WinkyDink]

6. Well, it is said that the legs are the last to "go," and skinny-Minnie Brigitte is making hay. (I

think she looks like a wizened old lady, myself. Can't hide the hands.)

[LisaM]

11. She's 64, and she doesn't look the least "wizened".

Apparently the age difference between Brigitte Macron and her husband is the same as between the Trumps.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. I think she looks pretty good.

Her arms are thin, but that hasn't necessarily to do with her age. Personally, I'd wear a dress with longer sleeves and a longer skirt because the short skirt makes her arms look unusually long and thin. (In fact I do wear longer sleeves but that's because my arms are NOT thin.) I'm close to her age (a bit older, and without a cute younger husband), and I definitely could not get away with that dress, so more power to her.

[WinkyDink]

18. I didn't mention the age difference, did I? By the way, the OP's photo

is from afar.

[LisaM]

26. No, you didn't, but really, "wizened"?

You make her sound like the stepmother from the Snow White Disney cartoon when she was transformed into the old woman with the apple.

[B2G]

13. Just stop. nt

[WinkyDink]

14. Stop what? I'll say what I like! Or are only compliments allowed as NOT sexist?

[B2G]

19. Calling a woman a 'wizened old lady'

isn't sexist?

At a minimum it's disgusting. You can figure out the other labels yourself.

[WinkyDink]

21. I'm a 67-year-old broad, and I calls 'em as I sees 'em. :-P (Have you read the comments on

Melania?)

[B2G]

22. And any of that matters how? nt

[jehop61]

29. You are so right

Why are we picking apart two women who have nothing do with this farce? Sexism!!!!!

[MichMary]

32. She probably got way too much sun

back in the day.

[tblue37]

7. Her face resembles Nancy Sinatra's, too! nt

[niyad]

9. that was the first thing I noticed.

[George II]

10. Kenneth Starr better subpoena that red dress!

[ProudLib72]

12. Flies on me, flies on you, but there ain't no flies on Brigette

White for modesty and purity.

Red for... collusion!

[lapucelle]

30. And feminism.

Shirley Chisolm, Geraldine Ferraro, and Hillary Clinton also chose white for important moments, as did House Democratic women for Trump's first address to Congress.

15. Melania looks angry

[Yavin4]

16. The stress on Melania's face always amazes me.

There's never any joy. Michelle was reluctant, but she relished her role.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. If you were married to that pig she's stuck with, I bet you wouldn't look joyful either.

Granted, nobody forced her to do it, but at the time she probably thought she was getting a great deal - a young second-string immigrant model gets to marry a famous New York real estate mogul and TV personality; he might have even seemed charming to her when she first met him almost 20 years ago. She probably did marry him for his money, but I suspect he's turned out to be more disgusting, and life with him is a lot more awful, than she expected. I don't really feel sorry for her, but I'm not surprised that she looks unhappy most of the time.

[LisaM]

28. I stop feeling sorry for her whenever I see that video with Joy Behar

where Melania rants on and on about Obama's birth certificate.

[Tatiana]

23. I hope I look as good as Brigette when I'm that age.

She's giving me a "Twiggy" vibe.

Melania... meh. Still looks angry and depressed.

[enough]

24. And a good time was had by all. NT

[lunamagica]

25. To me it looks like a nursing uniform

[hamsterjill]

27. Good grief! If looks could kill...

Melania would be standing in a grave yard. She looks like she's about to bite someone's head off.

What a scowl.

[MichMary]

31. Don't care for Brigitte's outfit

Very 60's, and every time I see her in something similar, it crosses my mind that she is trying to relive her teen years. Same with the black dress she wore at the G7. She also wore white skinny jeans to one events at the G7, and just looked out of place, with the other women dressed a bit more formally. Her skirts are almost always way too short.

[Grammy23]

33. Neither one of these two women look like they're having the time of their lives.

Maybe someone could kindly insert a thought bubble above their heads via photoshop so we could have a little fun?

I have a swimsuit coverup that looks remarkably like Brigitte's dress minus the extra zippers. I probably paid considerably less for it than she did for hers.

Seems like I remember back at some point long ago when hemlines were well regulated in school. A girl's skirt was deemed legal if the hem reached the tips of her outstretched fingers. So just guessing here.....but I think Brigitte would pass the test.

She is a mature and very slender woman. She has had too much sun exposure, judging by the wrinkling and texture of her skin. Given that she is 64, just a few years behind me, she grew up during a time when we were just learning that too much sun is unhealthy and really hard on the skin. We know better NOW. Nothing (except maybe smoking) ages the skin like excessive sun exposure. Once that damage is done, it is really hard to reverse it. So I can cut her some slack on looking her age---skinwise.

She is also very thin and as a person who struggles with weight now that I am older, I must say it is probably genetic. I try and try and fail to get anywhere close to as thin as I was as a young woman. Most of the women in my family struggled with that, too. Brigitte probably inherited skinny genes. On the plus side, plump ladies tend to have fewer wrinkles.

[niyad]

34. fewer wrinkles is also one of the few benefits of oily skin.
