“I want you in the ads, and I want your face in the ads,” Noem recently recalled Trump saying, referring to a set of new taxpayer-funded ads celebrating the immigration crackdown. “I want you to thank me. I want you to thank me for closing the border.” 🤮
No, because they never did. Back in the 1960s, they were mocking women who preferred little makeup, more natural hair, & no girdles. No real change ever since; their preference has always been for over-the-top artifice & maximum discomfort for women. The Mar-a-Lago look is just more of the same.
I do. I was there, & I've been studying the topic for decades
You're comparing apples & oranges. Those women were middle-aged-to-senior upper-class wives; they weren't *supposed* to be sexy. Especially not as 1st Ladies.>>>
But conservative women who aspired to "glamour" always had much the same overly made-up, overly styled, overly artificial vibe. Details varied with the decades, but the overall effect was always the same: a fake & performative version of femininity.
Fair enough. I know there were a few televangelists who had that fake nails, fake hair, and garish make-up, e.g. Tammy Bakker. I assume televangelists are conservative, though the 80s seemed to be people embracing the synthetic and artificial, generally.
Do you have any examples?
Not to their point, but I really like facial surgery.
It’s saved my life (trans).
For cis folks there are different connotations, but we all probably would like to be able to augment a little if it were affordable.
Obviously, you can wind up botched, but I don’t think most of us would.
I know why the "Botox Faced" succeed in Trump world. It's not the look. It's the inability to make any facial expressions. Trump says some crazy fucking shit, some stupid shit, some offensive shit, their face is so paralyzed it just remains expressionless. They don't offend Orange man with reactions
