She'd look younger and less harsh in softer colors and a looser hairstyle. The tightly pulled bun and red lipstick really accentuate the sharpness of her features. Michelle Obama's much younger so you can't really compare them but Silda Spitzer is still quite slim and always looks great so it can be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-62372614112931624482008-06-25T17:55:00.000+01:002008-06-25T17:55:00.000+01:00re the comment about cindy McCain looking brittle ...re the comment about cindy McCain looking brittle rather than weak...I kind of think that amounts to the same thing because the dictionary definition of 'brittle' is 'hard and breakable' and the Thesaurus lists 'fragile' as a synonym...pennyarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12200885982645028867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-60288403297008715162008-06-25T11:38:00.000+01:002008-06-25T11:38:00.000+01:00I couldn't get passed Patricia Field's voice--a sm...I couldn't get passed Patricia Field's voice--a smoker for sure.

Personally when I'm a stone heavier my face really puffs out and ages me and when I lose that stone I get so many compliments on how good I look, even from my mother!<BR/><BR/>I know what Patricia means about personal style though. I don't like her clothes particularly but I can see they really work for her, as does that amazing hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-61033065027386790692008-06-25T02:50:00.000+01:002008-06-25T02:50:00.000+01:00A very interesting juxtiposition between the candi...A very interesting juxtiposition between the candidates' wives, how they dress, how they move and so on. I think she's right about Mrs. McCain, who exudes the essence of right, white matron who is chasing youth through thinness. I'm not sure I would describe her look as 'weak'; I think I would use the word 'brittle' to describe it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-61288401011510803112008-06-25T00:00:00.000+01:002008-06-25T00:00:00.000+01:00Umm, a remarkably conservative look compared with ...Umm, a remarkably conservative look compared with what Ms. Field typically wears. She's usually wears much crazier looking stuff. <BR/><BR/>Personally I think both Ms. Obama and Ms. McCain look great. However, I wish Ms. McCain would stop with the tightly pulled, matronly bun. If anything ages her, it's that.NancyDaQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609215745927535353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7424698162327097126.post-78029404062556486622008-06-24T22:41:00.000+01:002008-06-24T22:41:00.000+01:00She's kind of twitchy, isn't she?
