The Flawless First Lady

The Conservative Treehouse updates us on the activities of POTUS, but rarely on FLOTUS, so here is his post today on Mrs. Trump herself, Melania, on a "First Lady's" mission to make America Great Again.

When I read TCT's blog post title for today: Melania Trump Liberty University Convocation and Town Hall Discussion on Opioid Crisis… I thought we would see a subdued Melania with less emphasis on her femaleness and more on her femininity coming across perhaps as a good aunt giving advice on her life experiences and how to try to stay on the right track.

And then I saw these photos:







Hillary wore her pantsuits, I'm sure, to cover her thick legs (calves especially). But what about wearing dresses and skirts which go down further than the knees? Not all the way down to the ankles like a 19th historical revival (which would not work anyway without the social and cultural revival of feminine modesty that the era practiced, and which would take a whole revolution to promote in our immodest times), but elegant dresses and skirts which go halfway down those "heavy" calves, which was Hillary's problem but certainly not Melania's? Many stores do carry such clothes and many can be elegant with the right combination of jacket and shoes.

I think Melania wears these thigh-hugging pants to show off her long legs, and to showcase her slim behind.

What does she think people look at when she crosses her legs as she sits down for the interview and exposes more thigh and upper-leg body?

Odd.

Serious conversation is lost and everything is focused on her, and specifically her body.

Maybe she just wants to look sexy?

Well yes, of course.

I googled "Melania Trump Liberty University Convocation and Town Hall Discussion on Opioid Crisis…" without quotations, and sure enough here is The Daily Caller who posts this more close-up photo of her (below) with her makeup masked face which he aptly titles: Melania Wows in Charcoal Grey Pant Suit During Trip to Liberty University, and gives us a rundown of Flotus' wardrobe:

Melania Trump absolutely shined Wednesday when she showed up wearing a striking charcoal grey pant suit during her trip to Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.

The first lady looked flawless as ever during a town hall meeting about the country’s opioid epidemic, as she took the stage in the long sleeve jacket and pants that she paired with a scoop neck black top. (RELATED: Ivanka Turns Heads In Gorgeous Yellow Plaid Skirt Suit)

She completed the fantastic look with loose hair and black and grey snakeskin high-heels.

How about this for Melania? A dress in brighter colors with print that is not too overpowering. Something elegant, serious and feminine.

I found it by googling "A mid-calf dress with long sleeves" (no quotes).

Maybe those desperate young men might just listen to her then.

Broadway Burqa

Billboard at 52nd Street and Broadway in New York City

I usually like Megyn Kelly, who has a program called The Kelly File over at Fox News. I think she is very smart, and often amuses, and surprises, her hosts with her original twists on their commentaries.

In her show a couple of days ago, her lame duck panel all say that the billboard I've posted "doesn't offend" them. One tries to fine-tune it saying that he doesn't have a problem with an American soldier marrying a Muslim woman, but that this full-gear Islamic garb is what bothers him. I.e. the "moderate vs. extremist" debate which should have long been resolved by now.

Kelly tries to bring in the "radicalized," i.e. "extremist" argument in, but she doesn't go far enough. She could have interrupted one of the speakers to make her point, but she didn't, and I can only conclude that she mostly agrees with them.

Muslims themselves have told us in as many words that the Koran is what they follow. A "modern" Muslim woman, wearing the latest from Chanel, will at some point have to confront the Koran. And this usually happens with her children. Whether they grow up in Iran or Canada, these offspring at some point have to accept or reject (there is no middle ground) Islam, even as their mothers disguise their true feelings with Western fashion.

In my mall in Mississauga (Ontario), I see more and more young women, in their early twenties, walking around in groups wearing the head-covering (for now). They try to "modernize" it - accessorize would be a better word - with make up and tight jeans, but they are only one garment away from the full-body garb that Kelly's panel seems to abhor.

Of course, the panelists point is that they don't want to be "racist." But their "tolerance" is only inviting intolerance. Muslims have no choice but to be Muslims. Their Koran mandates it.

Some notes:
- The billboard was rejected initially by the advertising company.
- The couple on the billboard is a "real life" American soldier and his Muslim wife. The wife apparently wore the full Muslim clothing for the advertisement. But this proves my point that under every "modern, Western" Muslim woman is a Koran-following Muslim woman.

Below is the panel on the billboard, at The Kelly File:
