That is a thing of beauty, Raster! WUNNNNNNderful! Did you come up with that? It's WUNNNNNNNderful! Mind if I spread it around?
Or, when his lips are moving.
Yeah, I know what you mean. But shit - it's frickin' January.
WHY would you want to go outside, barelegged, in the first place?
And there's therapeutic stockings and then just plain ol' tights or leggings or SOMETHING - that is purely cosmetic but conceals or minimizes the problem. Hell, she does that for a living (or tries to) having to bend reality to cover for trump. One would assume she'd obfuscate on looks, too.
I've noticed that sometimes she appears on camera looking just absolutely wretched - no makeup, the techniques for deemphasizing flaws - makes me think perhaps she got a phone call or something: "Get your ASS out there NOW!!! You gotta fix this!" or some such. ("But I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet, I'm just waking up..." "GET YOUR ASS OUT THERE NOW!!!"
Heck, I've had a few times where I got a call at home at an inopportune time, had to throw something/anything on and grab the car keys and GO, NOW. Like the "alternative facts" moment with Chuck Todd for example. No makeup (particularly, under-eye concealer or foundation and/or face powder because you could not avoid noticing the bags under her eyes - maybe she doesn't get much sleep), stringy hair (not much time to allow for grabbing a hairbrush). She looked like hell. Evidently got dispatched to do trouble-shooting either by trump or Bannon maybe. She's supposedly also managing a family and her husband is working, as I recall he's now under consideration for a big job in the White House, too, if he hasn't already been tapped for it.
I noticed that yesterday, she was on camera with a pale blue dress, a statement necklace of pearls, hair well-behaved and brushed and smoothed, makeup on, AND, as actresses have told me - properly lit. Which means they had a few extra moments and a proper studio so that they could light her in a flattering way. She looked like she was on her way to the wedding party. I tried to book an interview with an actress on a little public access show I had, years ago, and her first question was - how's the lighting? Because if you're not LIT well, carefully, strategically, you can look like death warmed over.
Seems awfully superficial. Certainly. But when you're on camera and you KNOW your looks matter, you're forced to take that into account. You want what you SAY to be what people talk about, NOT how much older or scrawnier or hag-like you looked on camera. In her case that time, though, the "alternative facts" statement was SO outrageous that it eclipsed everything else. Nitpickers like me notice all that stuff, but the "alternative facts" misadventure just sucked every molecule of oxygen outta the room. As it should have, frankly.
I would LOVE to see Miss Kellyanne "Alternative Facts" Conway face Joy Reid in an interview.
Joy would shut her down, and HARD. What do you bet that Miss Alternative Facts NEVER accepts an invitation to be interviewed by Joy Reid?
And I hope people don't get tired or give up.
Or distracted. Or apathetic! Now that we've started, it needs to continue! And hopefully keep growing. Remember, the teabaggers didn't fizzle out. They made damn sure they STAYED a force to be reckoned with.
If I recall correctly, the author here
Jennifer Rubin, is a CONservative.
Probably won't make much difference, but it's a drumbeat. And it will be bery helpful for a drumbeat to get started. I hope it continues until it drowns out everything else!
I cannot tell you how many times
in how many different newsrooms back then, someone would address me with "hey, MAAAAARE!"
Safe passage dear lady.
