Hillary: Looking the part
Posted by Rebecca


We had a great photo of Hillary Clinton in the newspaper today, posted here, too. Hillary, as always, is still criticized for how she looks. Publisher Tina Brown kind of called her fat a couple of years ago. And her hairstyle is always a focus. Too young. Too old.

To me, Hillary is looking like the women of her age I've seen in Europe in trips there. Not afraid to be solid in her body, because she is solid in her place in the world. Figuring out the easiest hairstyle, because she's busy. And enjoying herself most of the time, despite the hard work she's doing in the world.

As women, our lives get written on our bodies from day 1. Other people often try to write that story, especially in the teen and young adult years. Hillary's writing her own story now. And it shows.

1. Nobody was so critical of Madeline Albright's looks. She was taken seriously and her work as

SOS was the focus. Hillary more than deserves that same respect, IMO.

I met her a long time ago, the thing I most remember about her is that she was smaller than she seems on TV, and she has skin like a baby's ass--very smooth and fine-pored, and she has some of the most remarkable eyes you'll ever see.

Nothing wrong with HRC at all--she's fine. Anyone who thinks otherwise is the one with the problem.

She is tiny, and her eyes are very blue.

I am trying to remember how long ago that was. I think it was 2004.

4. Quite lovely. Just because she is not a teenager and a women, people judge her by her looks.

If anything, she looks wise and mature. Love her. Still wish she would run for Prez after President Obama's next term.

7. Would you rather have dinner with her, or, say, Miley Cyrus?

I know what my answer is--and it ain't the sitcom star!

As a 48 year old woman I am of the mind that Hillary is making us all look good out there. Girl power!

Every time I see her picture, my own IQ goes up a few points. And I feel a little bit better about everything.

8. Conservatives are image oriented. It's one of their big faults. Think Reagan.

that HRC's starting to remind me of the previous Madam Secretary. Albreight was 200% class act and down to business.
