Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 07:24 PM by Kookaburra
Women with thin lips should never wear dark lipstick -- makes their lips looks like the joker's.
She needs to get herself a new make-up artist.
(And her eyebrows don't go with her hair color -- she really needs a new make up artist.)

53. Delete the word "new" and you have it |
|
That's Self Applied Makeup if I ever saw it.
This is going to sound terrible, but the very best advice I could give Pickles in this department is, "raid Sarah Palin's makeup case." The shades they use on Palin would work really well on Laura Bush.

Just that she didn't pick the most flattering photo of her for her book jacket. I actually think she is what is known as a classically "handsome" woman, if she'd pick a bit more flattering makeup. If that is "hateful" than, damn......:wtf:
Humor is not a bad thing, really...

I think it has a lot to do with the way the others make fun of the Obamas for no reason at all.
It is just hate for the sake of hate fatigue.

63. Yeah, I have a hard time hating Laura, too. |
|
I really appreciated Laura coming to Michelle Obama's defense over the "proud of my country" comment. Laura had been there, and it was classy of her to come to her aid, I think.
But, it's no problem hating his despicable mother. God, Barbara is a piece of work - and a POS.

It wasn't like she was naive to the fact that she was joining a politically powerful family and that her job was to be part wife, part handler, she's the tail wagging the dog.

She needs a new make up artist. I've never thought she was physically unattractive, but her make up -- it's too harsh -- needs softening.

51. Her hair is also too helmet-like--it has no movement. |
|
Add that to the dark lips and her un-even brows (why does one eye look higher than the other?) and the effect is brittle. Lighter pallette, bring some hair a little forward--and for crying out loud, what is with the "Ming the Merciless" collar? She could look less like she ate small things she found outside the crypt to maintain her strength.

20. to Otohara, and any others who compare me to a Freeper |

for having posted this. I am sorry I offended any of you by re-posting from HuffPO. The original post as well as my repost were mild attempts to bring a bit of humor to a Friday night. I added nothing other than my thoughts that the photo was not very flattering of Mrs. Bush. If that makes me a candidate to be compared to FREEPERS and the horrendously callous, cruel and even threatening things said about Mrs. Obama, well, I guess you are entitled to your opinion.
My intentions were innocent, non-malicious, and an attempt to be a little humorous on a Friday night. Having been here since January, 2001, I think most people know, I am anything but a freeper... But, if you wanted to insult me, you certainly succeeded. Crap. :shrug:

I saw this earlier on HP - it's HP who decided to make this photo an issue NOT YOU.
They said it was scary, NOT YOU.
The Bush's have left the building and have yet to criticize Pres. Obama. For that I am grateful and don't feel like dumping on Laura over a picture that seems perfectly fine.
HP is sometimes like The National Enquirer.

A little too much Botox, but what can you do? It's a hazard these days for anyone in public life. Laura Bush looks miles better in that photo than during her husband's reign.

i still hate Bush .
but Laura and her daughters have been ok. i still remember how good they were after Obama got elected and showing Michelle and Obama daughters around the white house.
Laura has also been one of those who has defended the Obama administration on things like Sotomayor and attacks on Michelle.

Is it just me, or can anyone else read the title of her book? The Snuggie they've dressed her in is such a light shade of blue, it's blowing out the words in the title.
I would have thrown a black drop shadow behind Spoken from the Heart. That would look good and be easy to read too.
