Thanks, WaPo. So glad we're repeating the same coverage of the same people from 2016-2020.

Yeah but that whole thing is 100% maga Mar a Lago style. Sixty something year old women with more bondo and plastic surgery than most 57 Chevys. I don’t know who on earth finds the artificiality attractive.

It's a uniform.

WaPo eagerly produces propaganda that advances the eugenicist, white supremacist and segregationist agenda of the GOP.

Stepford wives all the way down.

Is the “Conservative lifestyle publication” WaPo?

Holy shit the picture of the lady putting on the event 😂😂😂

africanprincess7.bsky.social•14 days ago

Did she go out that outfit, or was she dressed for a costume or theme party?

service-worker.bsky.social•14 days ago

I honestly don’t know what this party was other than fucking disgusting from the attire to the cocktails

Amber getting cancelled for the WHCD was a loss for humanity.

We better get her speech anyway.

Great Botox, silicone, ozempic and steroids.

It's a type, and obviously there are reporters out there who like that type. Thinking back to how Chris Cillizza spent 2016 salivating over Ivanka Trump and apparently he wasn't alone.

ilovevt.bsky.social•14 days ago

i just don't see it, she is meh at best, it's all window dressing

jsweetli.bsky.social•14 days ago

that's not what mob wife aesthetic really means tho, mob wife aesthetic is more specific and cult trendy, think like Fran Drescher in the Nanny. Maga style is just like...over the top

eyesontheright.bsky.social•14 days ago

Think the hairdos from "Goodfellas."

jsweetli.bsky.social•14 days ago

kind of

It's the male gaze, metastasized.

"there are conservatives who aren't ugly now"

Still debatable

Inside and out.

Much of this hinges on the preferences / fetishes of Republican men. The things you list are absolutely part of the MAGA female "tool kit," but, Republican men aren't your average heterosexual guys. They have power / masculinity issues. Most men who are NOT "MAGA" wouldn't look twice at these women.

desertdandelion.bsky.social•14 days ago

So many of the women surrounding Trump are literally made of plastic…as is Elon Musk! They are all so very ARTIFICIAL!🤮🤮🤮

grahamclester.bsky.social•14 days ago

I think they meant to say a conspicuous consumption lifestyle and a conspicuous consumption worldview.

thedonster.bsky.social•14 days ago

Idk, it's kind of a mob wife meets porn actress aesthetic. Maybe the author just conflates the popularity or ubiquitousness of a look with actual fashion."Mar-a-Lago lady" is like acid-washed stretch jeans. Everywhere in the country, you can find people wearing them but they still look terrible.

A very interesting piece to be written on why MAGA-fied Guillfoyle/Noem-level surgery is desirable, but transwomen opting for surgery are 'mutilating' themselves.

solvognen.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's beyond bizarre.
A parallel was the '80s fashion for heavy effeminate make-up on hair-metal bands like Poison with knuckle-dragging sexual politics - a contradiction which totally flummoxed actual gay men in metal such as Rob Halford, who had to remain closeted.

kenfinch.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, it makes zero sense.

judithflanders.co.uk•14 days ago

It's a form of control, just as Trump's 'I can shoot someone on Fifth Ave' was: 'I' can, you can't, and 'I' get to decide. Here the MAGAfied can ascribe one form of cosmetic surgery to be acceptable, one beyond the pale, and they get to decide which is which.

fergdawg.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's not hot. It's pathetic and gross.

shelleysimonsen65.bsky.social•14 days ago

Tacky,just like Trump.

stiffelman.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yikes. Them’s some scary looking human people.

I think Amanda Marcotte got it dead right
