Is The First Lady Portrait Really A Jewelry Ad?

[lame54]

The Giant Rock is on the side of her finger, facing the camera -


- instead of the top of her finger where it naturally would be.

1. More of an ad for cosmetic surgery

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but my word! She has the unlined face of a six-year-old. Or maybe it's just airbrushing? Not that there's anything wrong with that, either, but goodness! I've seen china dolls with more expressive features.

6. Her face photoshopped bigly. EOM

[Girard442]

13. The eyes look artificial.

Sort of like:


On edit: To see what she used to look like do a Google image search on "Melania Trump young."

2. I think you are on to something.

It seemed reminiscent of something. That's probably it.

It also makes me think of the hilariously huge "diamond" Lisa Douglas wore in 'Green Acres'.

[Atman]

3. Well, it's certainly Photoshopped to hell like an advertisement.

Anyway, it just looks stupid.

[Angry Dragon]

4. When is she going to start her bully campaign??

[sheshe2]

9. When she divorces her husband perhaps!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. I just assumed she was just a news anchor for 11 Action News. nt

7. Clever. Whose idea his or hers or neither?

[GentryDixon]

8. It may be, but I just looked at my ring finger

and the ring is heading south! My little stone is not near the weight of what she is showing.

I will admit the ring is one of the first things that caught my eye in the photo.

10. Her comment on photo

"Was gift from Moose and Squirrel"

20. Thanks

11. The placement of the ring on her finger means nothing....

I have a square cut diamond, nowhere near that large but it slightly big on me and it tends to seek it's own level because it's heavy. Right now, typing, that ring and the one on my right hand are both laying to the side.

That said....

I do not like her...

[Fast Walker 52]

14. yeah, I was gonna say, the rock is heavy enough so that the ring slides like that

still-- gross to display such wealth in an official portrait

[gratuitous]

16. But if you're sitting for a formal portrait

Wouldn't you (or the photographer) make sure your clothes were all properly draped, your hair was in place, and your jewelry was arranged just so? The placement of that little bauble isn't by accident.

[Ms. Toad]

22. Having it prominently displayed is not by accident,

But having it roll toward the ground is inattention to detail by the photobrapher.

[gratuitous]

24. Well, maybe the Trumps couldn't afford to hire a really good photographer

He's on a fixed salary living in government housing, after all. Gotta cut back expenses where you can.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. It's not fitted properly

Doesn't bother me.

[NightWatcher]

15. Just be glad she's dressed.

It's baby steps and low bars with this crowd.

[Fast Walker 52]

17. actually, it's not a great picture of her

her smile looks bad... I've seen her look much better

[Vinca]

18. Good catch, but it's probably more of an ego thing for Don.

He wants everyone to see what a big rock he bought his wife. The biggest rock. The best rock. (And if it's as phony as he is, a cubic zirconia rock. LOL.)

[onenote]

19. since there is nothing to indicate who the jeweler is

how is it an "ad"?

It's a airbrushed photo. As if in the grand scheme of things, this is what we should be concerned with?

[Ms. Toad]

21. Have you ever worn a ring with a heavy stone

or, perhaps a class ring heavily weighted in the same area?

The constantly roll in the direction that gravity pulls them.

[lunatica]

23. It's an ad showing a sample of the joys of learning Photoshop

Especially the miracle of using the Gauzian blur tool!
