Imagine the response if Michelle had worn an inaugural ball gown with

an "insanely plunging slit"?

http://hollywoodlife.com/2017/01/20/melania-trump-gown-inaugural-ball-dress/

We are dying over Melania’s insanely gorgeous, off-the-shoulder white gown by designer, Hervé Pierre, Carolina Herrera’s former Creative Director. The gown features stunning ruffles on the bodice. Around her waist was a very thin red ribbon bow belt that highlighted her amazing figure and on the side of her leg was an insanely plunging slit that showed off her fabulous legs.

There is not one original thought, idea or design among these scumbags. The cake was a copy of Obama's cake.

Getting a ton of shite against her for wearing a French designer to a state dinner. I can't remember which one, but I am positive it happened.

Obama did not run around saying he was going to bring all the jobs back by hiring only Americans like Trump has. It just bothers me he talks about American hire only and his wife gets a dress from an outside source.

but I did not think the dress was "stunning".... it looked like something that failed in a fashion line-up.

that the slit on MT's leg seemed tame in comparison.

I have to admit that her dress was gorgeous and very tasteful. Her designer did a great job.

Good Gawd. It was pretty, but not THAT pretty. Ditto for Melanoma's nipped-and-tucked figure. It's amazing what spending a small fortune can get you in that department.

But this isn't fucking "Project Runway," it's running the government of the United States of America. I'm more concerned about the hit FHA mortgage holders took yesterday and the prospect health care is being pulled out from under sick Americans.
