That the "beauty is only skin deep" concept, from a poem in 1613 is flawed:

It's not "beauty" that's only skin deep, it's prettiness. For true beauty to exist, it must come from the soul.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, indeed, beautiful.

matter of fact, i used to look like her when i was younger

just kidding!

ok--maybe a slight resemblance (like the long straight dark hair. and, you know, being a woman)

If anyone wants to know what the next generation of progressive leadership looks like -- we're looking at it.

She's the real deal.

dress since she went to an exclusive event and is showing it off, so she does want that attention about how she looks.

An unattractive woman could wear the same dress. What would be the response?

in politics.

Justin Trudeau comes to mind, for example.

Emmanuel Macron of France is another.

There are others.

I still do ...

A few years ago, a website held an annual "Hottest Senator" contest. However, in 2009, they had to make an adjustment - "Hottest Senator Besides Obama" - to give all the other Senators a fighting chance.

You've done it before.

Yet I just asked a question. You act as if I thought the answer was something else.

Someone will come along and agree that it's a bad thing and only aimed at women, too.

She really is stunning but I wondered if I would get called out as sexist for acknowledging that.

She looks great casual too.




I don't always agree with her but she is brilliant AND beautiful

I think she looked lovely and activist in that dress.

To me action speak louder than words and tonight’s “statement” fashion was fantastic.

As long her value is not being judged based on her looks or her other qualities aren't being diminished, I have no problem with people noticing she's a beautiful woman.

It’s simply stating the obvious. What I like is that she seems to be oblivious to the fact that she is stunningly beautiful and doesn’t use it to manipulate people.
