The First Lady participated in a tree planting at the White House yesterday, using a golden shovel and wearing a $4,000 dollar dress. Not to mention the 5” heeled Louboutins.
Pop quiz: circle the most surprising part of that sentence. Darling, this is how you garden. The plants don't respect you if you don't serve them fashion as well as fertiliser. Everyone knows that. You think Monty Don stomps around the countryside wearing a nice dress and a crown? Of course he does! Your look better be flawless if you're out in the forest. Nothing shames you like a disapproving apple tree.

I was responding to the headline not your post which I agree with.

That’s ok

I agree Maw and think we women have taken a backwards step by continuing to wear ridiculous shoes and sprayed on dresses, with long, long hair, very Stepford Wives I think.

MawB... Saint Kate ??

I think she always looks fabulous and seems to be a very classy lady.

I suppose Melania's fashions are thought up by public relations department who advise which style will win most votes for her husband.

I think Melania was a model in the past so she is used to posing for photographs wearing stylish clothes and shoes.

I think she always looks very glamorous when she dresses up. I wish I had her figure and ability to wear high heels.

I expect that a lot of Americans like having a glamorous First Lady, as they did going back to Jackie Kennedy. MIchelle Obama also looked very smart in the photos I used to see of her and wore very elegant dresses.

In these difficult times a bit of glamour can relieve the doom and gloom.

lemongrove I am very envious of how you look, very Jessica Rabbit. envy
Honestly, I would never believe you are a woman of mature years, although I suppose in those heels you need to keep yourself propped up at the Argy Bargy bar.

lemongrove Sat 01-Aug-20 13:36:00

Oh those are my Argy Bar clothes only Callistemongrin
And the long, long hair is a wig.?

Callistemon Sat 01-Aug-20 16:11:06

Oh, you fraud!

But I did notice they were high heeled sparkly green wellies under that slinky frock.

rafichagran Sat 01-Aug-20 19:46:35

I think she looks lovely as well.

Can you imagine being married to Donald Trump? That poor woman. No amount of money could possibly make it tolerable. She was probably wishing he was at the bottom of the hole. Do you reckon she has her own private life outside the marriage where she has boyfriends?

Blinko Sat 01-Aug-20 20:07:44

FWIW, stylewise I think she looks like she lives in 1950s Hollywood.

Nothing wrong with that.

Round of applause for MawB. (Saint Kate ) and for lemon grove (Stepford Wives)

Melania could be a good looking woman if she didn't frock up and wear such heavy make up. Look at Michelle Obama, a real beauty with great dress sense. There's a kind of dressed down drag queen look going on with some women.

Callistemon Sat 01-Aug-20 20:32:44

Michelle (and Melania) have the advantage of being tall.

I wish I could be stretched.

Callistemon Sat 01-Aug-20 20:33:44

I think Melania looks fine.

She has those high Slavic cheekbones.

Lucca Sat 01-Aug-20 20:35:32

She seems to lack facial expression the few times Ive seen her ?
( nickname apparently is the Slovenian Sphinx...)
Ok so she’s smartly turned out, but nothing really interesting or stylish IMO, (my own dress sense being impeccable of course?)

Callistemon Sat 01-Aug-20 20:43:40

Wouldn't you have an inscrutable expression if you were married to Trump?

She's biding her time and I bet she's writing her diary!

If you were facing going home to bed with the trump wouldn't you be lacking facial expression? I'd be catatonic.

Or perhaps a grin is not appropriate.

I can’t imagine why Melania married Trump. She was a successful model so it can’t have been the money. She speaks several languages I believe, so she’s more intelligent than him (is it actually possible to be less intelligent than him?) I’m certain she never wanted to be First Lady of America, because the day of his inauguration she didn’t seem at all happy. She does her duty to her adopted country, and I like her. I also feel sorry for her as she’s married to him, but I guess that was her choice. I think she always looks nice when she appears in public.

Chewbacca Lie back and think of your country dear??
