'I'll get you, my pretty! Your little dog, too!'

[MineralMan]

That's the message I get from this photo. Does anyone else see that kind of malice in this expression?

[MFM008]

1. very "tight"

far from the carefree kid here.

[MineralMan]

3. Yes, and her foundation is applied a bit too generously,

it seems to me in the OP photo. High-resolution photography is a wonderful thing, I think.

[COLGATE4]

16. Well, when you spend 1.5 hours each day getting

your 'face' put on they have to do something.

[HipChick]

18. It's got a lot of wrinklage to cover..

She past her expiration date, got to lay it on thick...

[MineralMan]

19. Wrinkles aren't what make older women look mean and ugly

It comes from within:

[hlthe2b]

27. THAT woman radiates beauty

She makes you WANT to know her. You can absolutely feel her warmth from within.

[MineralMan]

30. I agree. She'd bring a big smile to my face anywhere.

There's a very nice person there. Can't miss it.

[Raster]

36. Absolutely! That is a face of joy, of caring, of happiness...

...Melania's face reflects none of these things.

[Aristus]

39. Yep. That's a beautiful woman. You could spot it a mile away.

[MineralMan]

41. When I see a face like that, I want to know about that person.

I don't think I speak her language, though, so...

[malaise]

45. Lovely

She's a beauty

[appleannie1943]

51. Just looking at her face makes me smile and feel good. That is beauty from within.

[MFM008]

62. Makes you want

To hug her.

[MineralMan]

20. Here's a woman who is a year older than Melania Trump

I like her better and think she's probably very unlike Melania:

[PearliePoo2]

34. Cate! She's a truly good, kind and generous person

So talented, so smart and just so darn cool.

[MineralMan]

37. I'd love a chance to chat with her, I think.

I'm not sure what we'd talk about, but I suspect we'd find a topic.

Oddly enough, even though they don't look alike much, she reminds me of Julie Christie in the temperament she typically shows. Here's Julie Christie at 71:

[PearliePoo2]

46. Yes, Julie, another beautiful, kind face!

Sorry, off topic from Melania, (and I don't mean to highjack this thread) but I just watched Cate as Mary Mapes in 'Truth'. What a performance.

And then a totally different role for Cate in 'Carol'. Terrific 1950's film based on real-life encounter by author Patricia Highsmith.

LOVED both films and love Cate Blanchett!

[MineralMan]

47. I first saw her in Oscar and Lucinda, one of her first films.

I commented to my wife that I though she would be one of the great actresses after that film. That turned out to be very true. She's very versatile and seems to be able to take on any role, really. Few people saw Oscar and Lucinda, and I recommend it to all Cate Blanchett fans if they haven't seen it. You get a great glimpse into a young actress who was bound to succeed. It's a good movie, too.

I thought her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth should have gotten her an Oscar that year, too.

[anneboleyn]

52. Love that film (Ralph! Loved him for years) and SO wanted Cate to win for Elizabeth. Well, she

has more than demonstrated her phenomenal acting chops with multiple academy awards now and many outstanding films to her credit. Gwyneth Paltrow (who beat out Cate that year for a film I dislike, Shakespeare in Love) has mostly vanished from the serious movie scene.

I guess I am rather interested in Tudor history (haha, I'm an academic who specializes in medieval and Renaissance literature so I should be!)

[MountCleaners]

59. British women age so well

Part of it might be the lack of intense sunlight, but I think part of it is a healthier attitude toward aging.

[anneboleyn]

53. I highly recommend Carol (Cate is fantastic in that film)

[PearliePoo2]

56. Yes, loved it so much I bought the DVD.

The scene when they meet again in the tea room, I could barely breathe.
And Rooney Mara...wow, no words for her acting either. Terrific.

[Tanuki]

48. And this beautiful, soulful lady is 7 years older than Melania

[MineralMan]

50. Score! You Win!

[anneboleyn]

55. Tilda Swinton is also a brilliant actress and a total original. She is 56, and in my opinion more

striking and attractive and brilliant than Melania could ever even dream of being. Her ability to change her appearance and her acting abilities are phenomenal.

[Alice11111]

54. Her eyes look like slits now. Overdone plastic surgery

One of my friends said, she looks like a cat. I said, don't insult Dorothy, my cat.

[MineralMan]

4. I don't know. I'm seeing "What can you do for me?"

in that photo.

[PJMcK]

5. What happened to her eyes?

In the youthful picture, her eyes are far rounder than the slits in the contemporary photo. Very strange.

[Warpy]

17. She's had work done already

and she probably didn't need it but her oaf of a husband insisted on that Miss Universe look and probably thinks that "windswept," over tightened plastic surgery look is exotic.

Dolt45 has never forgiven women for aging, for having their bodies changed by childbirth, or for anything that changes them from barely legal arm candy into real women.

[MFM008]

63. Dolt 45

[NurseJackie]

2. It's unnatural and bizarre. She's making bad decisions or getting VERY bad advice.

[niyad]

6. geez, mel, put on sunglasses, or quit squinting into the light.

[mnhtnbb]

7. It's not the look of a happy woman.

Google photos of Michelle Obama and you'll see her smiling almost all the time.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2014/jan/17/michelle-obama-at-50

[mcar]

8. Seems like her false eyelashes weigh her eyelids down

It always looks like she's squinting or sneering.

Can you imagine the shit fit Republicans and the media would pitch if FLOTUS Michelle Obama flew her hairdresser in from LA? Seriously?

[MineralMan]

11. But see...Michelle Obama is....

you know...black.

[mcar]

23. Yep. And HRC was one of the eeevil Clintons

[bathroommonkey76]

9. Donnie needs to throw Malaria back into her mail-order bride box. n/t

[MineralMan]

10. Yeah...no...I think you may have it backwards, really.

[bathroommonkey76]

12. Naw, I just don't see how anyone finds her attractive.

[forgotmylogin]

13. Does Melania really deserve to be picked apart like this?

She's not the one out trying to deport immigrants or take away healthcare.

Picking apart her makeup technique?

Now here's someone worthy of scorn.



Seriously, 45, get a haircut. Neaten that shit up so it doesn't catch the wind. If that part that was blown over were removed, he'd actually look a lot better. He's 70 years old and should not be wasting time attempting to retain his silky flowing ginger locks. Isn't there a barber on call in the White House or MarLago - the "Winter White President's Dream House" or whatever the fuck you're trying to call it?

[mreilly]

22. Fully agreed...

... I leave Melania alone. She's not the problem and certainly must have her own demons to deal with, such as the one she's married to. I consider her more of a tragic figure than a villainess.

I bash Trump constantly on social media and have already declared her off-limits. Same with Ivanka, but if his sons act like dickheads then I will call them out on it.

[peacebuzzard]

35. "Free Melania"!

Agreed! "Free Melania"! (Sign spotted at women's march in Santa Fe NM) I would say she is not responsible and cannot be ridiculed for the horrors her dipshit husband is spewing out.

[forgotmylogin]

61. Although Ivanka is actually right there in the WH advising her father, from what I understand.

Didn't 45 seek security clearance for her and Jared?

[Goblinmonger]

31. I agree and that corn picture is hilarious

We don't need to condemn Melania for how she looks.

[Submariner]

32. Melania is a racist birther just like her Sex predator-in-Chief husband

so yeah, she put herself on the firing line. F her.

[PearliePoo2]

40. That corn is a keeper!

OMG...laughed so hard, my pup ran under my desk to hide!
Off to my Facebook with this jewel! Thanks!

[Polly Hennessey]

14. Oh, my,

the wrinkles are there and the neck isn't doing well either.

[Goblinmonger]

28. Really? She's 46.

We don't need to stoop to that here.

[Initech]

15. A real life Cruella DeVille.

[OKNancy]

21. look up "the model squint" squinch

She does that almost in every photo. It's a technique of a half squint. It takes practice to look good doing it.


Here are some photos: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2511106/Can-squinching-really-make-look-beautiful-photos.html

[matt819]

24. Another interpretation

She doesn't know what the fuck is going on, but she'll put on a look that makes her look "serious."

[MineralMan]

25. Could be. I can't say, really. Don't know her.

[Goblinmonger]

26. I've read a few articles that "resting bitch face" is just primarily Eastern European.

I think that is a lot of what goes on there. Ethnically, my heritage is totally slavic. So, frankly, I find that look pretty damn attractive. Fully realize she is a horrible person, but she has a very strong, gorgeous Eastern European look to her.

[MineralMan]

29. I'm not seeing it, I guess. I see "High maintenance and

quick to anger." I don't know, though. Never met her and never will.

[Pharlo]

33. Honestly I don't see the Wicked Witch of the West so much

as The Wicked Stepmother from "Snow White" when the mirror tells her that Snow White is the 'Fairest of them All" She looks like she's ready to grab that mirror and hurl it against the far wall.

[Aristus]

38. No. It's just bad plastic surgery.

And too much of it.

[NurseJackie]

42. She won't be able to stop, I predict. Before you know it, she'll be looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

43. I don't see any kind of genuine facial expression.

I see heavy makeup, botox and plastic surgery; it's doubtful she can move her face in a natural manner at all any more. She's already past her sell-by date - previous wives were younger than she is now when he dumped them. If she wants to maintain her lavish lifestyle she'll have to do whatever it takes not to look too "old" for SCROTUS (which seems to be about 35). And have you seen her boobs? Nobody of any age has natural boobs like that. They look as unyielding as soccer balls. They won't ever need to make an effigy of her for Madame Tussaud's; they can just prop up the real thing.

She was rather pretty as a young woman. Now she looks like a Barbie doll that got left at the bottom of the toy box.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

44. Anyone who marries and reproduces with a well-known but rich creep like Donald Trump

Has to be full of vanity, venality, calculation, and ambition. I do think she's capable of malice as well based on her repeating the birther crap.

[JHB]

49. Sorry MM, to me it could just as easily be "Can you get that light out of my face?"

[Blanks]

57. She's looking...

At this and thinking "who the fuck puts scotch tape on their ties?"

[Docreed2003]

60. That is an epic pic! Lmfao...scotch tape!!! So classy!!

[brooklynite]

58. Please explain why Melania Trump's physical appearance is at all relevant.

[cwydro]

64. Thank you.

Seems the OP was looking for a reason to talk about older women getting "mean looking". And making reference to a woman looking like a witch is a not so clever way of calling her a word that rhymes with it.

Comments about her make-up? I do hope the OP is a perfect wrinkle-less man who looks good in every pic.

Smh.
