Does Hillary do botox?
.
......
Did that yellow jacket with the black detail that she wore in South Carolina suit her?
Yes, with a woman in the running for the White House, the claws are out and looks and fashion are prime topics of conversation - not just for the usual observers of frocks and 'tox, but also for television presenters and erudite analysts.
A photo showing all the wrinkles on an exhausted Hillary Clinton, 60, and a video in which she loses her voice have been the subjects of long, studied commentaries in the media.
The unflattering images of the first woman with a serious shot at the White House were dissected with far more surgical coldness than is ever directed at Republican contender John McCain - 11 years Clinton's elder - or Clinton's rival for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama, a spring chicken at 46.
"The evaluation of appearance has always been traditionally different for female candidates", said Sarah Brewer, associate director of the Women and Politics Institute at American University.
"This is an election, maybe the first one since Kennedy-Nixon, where appearance really does matter," said Tom Kolovos, a Chicago-based style-and-image consultant.
But candidates have to tread carefully - and in the right shoes, suits and accessories - on the road to the White House.
"Here in the US, being chic is not as important as being appropriate. People want their president to look like the chief executive officer of a conservative company," image consultant Sally Steward said.
That means "navy blue suits, white shirts, red tie, not too flashy" for the men, and for women, "feminine, business-like, not a lot of jewellery".
And no scarves.
"A scarf is too chic," said Steward.
John Edwards, who withdrew from the race for the Democratic nomination this week, provoked an uproar with his $US400 ($450) haircut - apparently not because of the cost but because of who did it.
"It was a scandal because the hairdresser was a Frenchman named Christophe," said Columbia University journalism professor Jessica Siegel.
"French chic is not appreciated in the US," she added.
Edwards finished third - behind Clinton and Obama - in all but one of the primaries held so far, and finally quit the race.
Presidential wannabes are advised to go simple, and American.
"You will never see them wearing cufflinks or pocket squares," said Steward.
The suits that Clinton favours come from the sewing machine not of a foreign designer but that of Nina McLemore, a designer with a boutique in Manhattan's upscale upper east side who designs clothing "for smart, confident women on the go".
Clinton also keeps jewellery tastefully toned down and only wears the dreaded political fashion error, the scarf, to protect her vocal cords.
Republican nomination hopeful Fred Thompson, who was an actor before he entered politics, was the object of great tittering and ridicule when he wore leather trousers to a fair in Iowa, the USA Today newspaper recalled.
Thompson withdrew from the race earlier this month, proving in part that you have to dress the part to cut it on the catwalk to the White House.
Obviously the skin has come loose from the meat!
Makes me believe she's done a Pelosi.
No, that’s from sucking blood.
major retouched photo there.
chin, major lines removed.
wants to appear way younger than she actually is.
Oh come on. Is the Pope Catholic?
I wonder if she can be convinced to take it oral.
Anything to avoid doing Bill.
Bingo!!! There you have a new clue as why journalism is in its current state. NO, Siegel, the nationality or sexual orientation of Edwards' hairdresser was NOT the issue, it was a $400 haircut when the typical male in Johnny's "other America" gets his cut for $10 or less. Jeez, and you teach at the premier "J school???" That one example showed that the Silky Pony was full of crap about his class warrior gimmick.
Do bears live in the woods?
Hillary! IS BOTOX!...............
I'm not buying it. I think we'll tolerate pocket squares just fine, if the man is a good man:
I get it! I get it!
"DOES A BEAR RUB HIS CHIN ON A TREE!"
Right?????
She might do Botox but that photo is definitely retouched.
“Does Hillary do botox?”
______________________________________________________
Don’t know and care less.
Not sure about Botox, she definitely does ugly.
Yes, botox and restylane and juvederm and — you name it
Perhaps.
She's already exceeded her physician's recommendation with regard to buttocks.
I do not care if she has had or will have plastic surgery of any kind.
I can not understand why this is an issue at all.
Then how is it that our "presumed nominees" are the nastiest and most unappealing of people both inside and out?
She does a lot more than Botox. This article wants us to think that’s all she does. It’s apparent that she’s had plastic surgery.
And, whenever possible, she stations herself behind a table or chair so that her HIPS don’t show. When she has nothing to hide behind, she stands slightly sideways so that her hips are not seen from the front. When that isn’t possible, and she can’t avoid being seen from the front, she crosses her hands in front and places her arms so that they cover the swelling of the hips from the waist.
Margaret Thatcher had far less concern about her “stylish” clothes. But then, her love of her country showed by her actions, not some frivolous idea of appearance.
Impossible! There is no need to retouch photos of the queen!
The Twilight Zone episode Ann Blyth as Pamela Morris Episode no. Season 5 Episode 143 Written by Jerry Sohl (credited to Charles Beaumont) Directed by John Brahm Guest stars Ann Blyth : Pamela Morris/Constance Taylor Lee Philips : Jordan Herrick Celia Lovsky : Viola Draper Frank Ferguson : Krueger Ruth Phillips : Maid Production no. 2626 Original airdate March 6, 1964
Opening narration: “ Jordan Herrick, syndicated columnist whose work appears in more than a hundred newspapers. By nature a cynic, a disbeliever, caught for the moment by a lovely vision. He knows the vision he's seen is no dream; she is Pamela Morris, renowned movie star, whose name is a household word and whose face is known to millions. What Mr. Herrick does not know is that he has also just looked into the face--of the Twilight Zone. ”
A movie actress is interviewed by a columnist, who learns the secret of her enduring youth, which turns out to be a small scarab beetle jewel that drains the life of others. When he finally begins to question why she tells him this, he becomes yet another of her victims.
Closing narration: “ Everybody knows Pamela Morris, the beautiful and eternally young movie star. Or does she have another name, even more famous, an Egyptian name from centuries past? It's best not to be too curious, lest you wind up like Jordan Herrick, a pile of dust and old clothing, discarded in the endless eternity of the Twilight Zone.
She looked great at the debate. The turquoise was as nice touch, especially after the drapes she was wearing at her New Hampshire victory speech (design by Maria Von Trapp?)
I don’t care what she does to her face — it is still the face of a heinous, hateful RAT/commie. The thought of having to look at that face and listen to that ~~~VOICE~~~ screech for 4 years, makes me physically ill!!
Article is B.S. Kerry was subject to the same questions when his wrinkles kept disappearing and his skin turned orange. Don’t think anyone thinks of Hillary as a woman - eeewww.
Botox is botulism, a poison.
Hillary is poison.
Therefore, if she does Botox, it’s cannibalism.
Did I hear that Hillary does a lot of Botox or that she has a lot of big buttocks?
That top AFTER photo almost makes her look cartoonish. Just a fact. People make fun of men too. They’ve been doing that with president Bush for years. They make fun of willie’s waggly finger. They laughed and poked fun at the greatest President of all time... Ronald Reagan. The laugh at Cheney all the time so...who is hillleree and why should she be exempt? She shouldn’t.
Don’t look at it and don’t listen to it. I won’t be. She is not my choice and therefore, my choice is to turn off the TV or change the channel when she comes on.
I’m pretty sure she’s still doing Dallas. Not Botox.
Folks, this is just wrong...it is ‘Hillary as victim’ mode. Picking on a middle-aged woman’s appearance? In our Oprahified culture, alot of gals who can only afford the drug store variety wrinkle prevention will ‘feel’ bad that Hillary is being ‘picked on.’ She has wrinkles, they have wrinkles (and unlike Hill probably can’t afford the Botox, Juvederm, etc, to make them go away). So what you wind up with? Sympathy for Hillary, the picked on middle-aged woman. Sorry, but we need to stay on topic (health care, our borders, terrorism) NOT ponder Hill’s complextion.
There are many skin products on the market that when applied tighten the face and neck but only on a temporary basis. I’m sure she applies it before her debates. It only last for a few hours and then everything droops again.
“my choice is to turn off the TV or change the channel when she comes on.”
Mine, too! This “campaign” has been going on so long, I am sick of hearing and/or seeing any of it. (Both sides) I used to watch Brit Hume’s news show, but I stopped watching it. Can’t take it anymore.
Same with us and...if we DO watch Brit Hume...we wait until the panel is on towards the end. Otherwise...no. It’s not really the campaigns...it’s the silly TV people. Always talking about this or that with no news at all. Just the same old boring talk just to keep their shows going. Only difference between their shows are the hosts/hostesses.
Hey, fancy seeing you here, beautiful. ;^)
For those who don’t know, Botox is used only on the forehead and for crowsfeet at the corners of the eyes to relax the muscles. If it was used on the cheeks, neck and chin it would cause the opposite effect and the skin would sag even more.
