In fairness, I imagine the spiked heels help aerate the soil. Lol.

As she's shoveling dirt, she's making holes to plan seeds. Inside each hole, she will place a French fry and hope for the best.

Melania Trump has been gardening again, planting an Eisenhower-era oak sapling in the White House grounds. It means that her gardening wardrobe has come under further scrutiny. Did she wear 4in Christian Louboutin stilettos to aerate the soil? Did she choose a $4,000 floral Valentino skirt for its horticultural motif? The first lady barely has to lift a gold-tipped ceremonial spade for the jokes to begin.

“Actually, that’s not a spade, it’s a shovel,” says the gardening expert Alys Fowler. “I suspect she was given that in recognition of the fact that she was never going to put her foot on it in those shoes.” Aside from the obvious issues, such as the propensity of stilettos to sink into the mud, Fowler is worried that Trump’s footwear is problematic. “If you are going to lean over and try to lift something quite heavy, that’s a real strain on your lower back.”

Of course, the first lady had no intention of leaning over and lifting anything. After sprinkling a couple of teaspoons’ worth of soil into the hole, she and her companions – also not dressed for gardening – walked off. “Even the Queen stays until the tree is watered in,” Fowler says.

That is the kiss of lovers. Look at the lower lip between his lips. Wow, for a father and daughter, that is a sickening kiss. If I had a daughter, if I kissed her, it would be on a cheek.

Not that I ever look at such websites.

and they were trapping each other's lips. All they needed to do was stick out their tongues. And the closed eyes, look like they have done that lots of times before. That is a heated, romantic kiss, not a parent to child kiss. How can a convention hall full of socalled Christians watch that and not get sickened?

you cannot dig with heels on. At least I can't.
I am a long time experienced gardener who has planned, dug, carried the 40lb bags of wet maure, ect., hoed and planted the gardens in my backyard. Hubby did not do anything except to run and get the Mulch and Manure. Melania's looks like a photo op.

She obviously treats every official First Lady appearance as a modeling event. Stiff poses and unnatural smile, or sometimes more of a pout.

I am not a fan of Melania, but I blame her handlers for this ridiculous photo op.
