Something amish about Melania

Scottacular @Scottcrates Jan 9
Poor Melania, she was so tired after churning butter and feeding the men who were erecting the new barn out back.

Alice Kramden, please don't take this as disagreement with your sentiment. I think you are correct.

I hope this post merely expresses my disdain for the person who really doesn't care if children are locked in cages.

Almost 10 years have passed since she first made the scene. She is looking a tad haggard in photos I have seen of her from the Carter funeral. Her hairdo makes her look older and tired.

In the photos from NYE at MaL wearing that black dress that nearly exposes her right kidney, she appears to be thicker around the waist and hips. Or perhaps the camera angle is doing that. We know the DonOLD likes his women tall and svelte. Svelte and glamorous so he looks glamorous.

She just got a $40 million deal with Amazon to make some crappy documentary about herself and she’ll grift even more no doubt.

No sympathy for her – “I don’t really care do you?”

Odd choice for the occasion.

https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/melania-trump-dress-jimmy-carter-funeral-1236797951/

..."Melania embraced a somber look for the occasion, wearing a black trench coat dress by Valentino with a belted waist and a contrasting and dramatic collar. The collar featured a black and white print of a couple kissing among roses and butterflies. The print was presented in multiple pieces from Valentino’s fall 2019 collaboration with Undercover."...(more)

However, she's in a pew with other women - Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush - who are also aging but aging gracefully. Her hair looks like mine on days I'm just planning on staying home and doing some work - unstyled and just pinned up out of the way.

As for channeling the Amish - AFAIK printed fabrics are not often used among the Amish. Aren't they considered vanity? I'm sure Mel's outfit would be.

so he’s kind of obligated to show up at such events. But being the narcissist that he is, he revels in the opportunity to be present.

Which goes back to Melania’s mom death anniversary. I know I am too damn logical, if I were Melania’s spouse, would have paid more attention to her than chatting up Obama…
