Hillary Clinton and Her Skin

Can't help but look at Hillary Clinton a lot lately; she is all over the news. Here are some of my observations:

1) She's gaining weight on the campaign trail. They are trying to minimize this by putting her in these single-color pants suits, but it's definitely true.  I feel empathy with her; she's a little younger than I am, and I have the same problem. Don't know why it happens, but that waistline vanishes.

2) She looks like she has had a cheek implant.  Her cheeks don't really look natural. Her skin, however, looks healthy.  She says she eats a lot of water and hot peppers. All that is code for proper elimination.

3) Although I speculate about the cheek implant, it's unlikely, because the thing she really needs is eyelid surgery, and clearly she hasn't had that yet. So my thought is that she doesn't have time for much consideration of her face.

4) Or she doesn't think looking a little more time-tested is a bad thing in a presidential candidate.

She has definitely abandoned all efforts to look like an alluring woman, and concentrated on trying to look like a business-like woman. She looks like women looked when they first entered the workforce. The suit with the little bow. Fortunately, the press has not concentrated on her appearance, but (correctly) on her substance.

On the other hand, there is a natural attractiveness to women that might help her on the campaign trail if she let it through. She seems determined to look and act like a man while talking like a woman. That produces a strange cognitive dissonance for people who follow her.

I know these comments are controversial.  Any comments out there from people who think I'm all wet?

She "needs" eyelid surgery? She "has definitely abandoned all efforts to look like an alluring woman"? Sheesh, sexist much? I'm not even a Hillary supporter, but I hardly think she "needs" any sort of surgery or has given up. She's almost 60. Leave her alone — or if you're going to be this shallow, at least give the same treatment to Obama and McCain.

I don't think anybody NEEDS eyelid surgery, unless the lids droop inside-out (called an ectropion), but she's definitely gained noticeable weight, visibly more this week than last. I wonder, does she ever exercise? I know she's busy on the campaign trail, but I've never seen a picture of her doing anything remotely like exercise. And she's put me off pantsuits for life!

I am one of those "Alluring Women" LOL. I've spent a lifetime to keep it up. It doesn't last. Cheers to Hillary who has spent a lifetime chasing her dream and making a difference. She has earned each and every one of those wrinkles. Intelligence and vibrance come from within. So yes, you are all wet!!!

thanks to all of you who have written in support of Hillary's choice to be a REAL person without all the FEAR that women are taught to feel about the natural process of aging. She continues to lead the way and inspire! I'm sure she sees the lines we see, but her priorities are right on! Let's all take a lesson.

I have taken notice of something about Hillary lately. Not her skin or eyelids. If anyone needs her eyelids done, it's me. I have noticed we see very little of Hillary from the waist down. I did see a full view of her headed to a podium the other day...VERY briefly...and she seems to have put on a large amount of bottom weight. Now if anyone has a big butt, it's me, that's not my issue. My problem is that if Sarah Palin had put on as much weight as Hillary seems to have, it would be on every network and cable news channel as well as Extra, Access Hollywood, The Insider, the Today Show, the Tonight Show...good grief, everywhere. The media really is ridiculous. Talk about lopsided.
