Why Do All The Women On FoxNews Look And Dress Alike? Republicans Prefer Blondes By Hadley Freeman Monday 20 February 2017 Why do so many rightwing American women have bottle-blond hair, often worn girlishly long? I’m thinking of Kellyanne Conway, Ann Coulter and almost any woman on Fox News.

Excellent question, Jonathan! I was pondering something similar myself recently while looking through Ivanka Trump’s fashion collection on ivankatrump.com, which seems to be one of the only places it is stocked these days. The grimly bland suede pumps, the simpering floral shifts, the just-flirtatious-enough body-skimming little black dresses – welcome, people, to death by mainstream feminine. You know how your mother (or mother-in-law) goes on about how you wear too much black/denim/weird stuff, and you can’t figure out what the hell it is she expects you to wear?

Well, allow me to introduce you to Ivanka Trump. What a shame it seems to be sold almost nowhere these days, as these are the clothes your mother (in-law) dreams of. Oh well, looks like she’ll have to put up with you in your awesome Bella Freud jumper and Topshop wide-legged culottes combo for another weekend!

Very naturally classy. Not cheap nor overly made up/processed to improve her on-air appearance. Her looks stand on their own.

That’s why I like Lee Carter. Just love those brains. Hubba Hubba.

Red heads are wild women, I resemble that remark. Red head in my 60's not a spot of grey. Still crazy after all these years.😀

Is she wearing a night gown?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that....)

I've always thought Patty Ann Brown is drop-dead gorgeous.

Ditto

..................Catherine Herridge,

I think of her as FNC's Audrey Hepburn.......

[trebb]

Yeah - married to a brown-haired (with tasteful graying going on), brown-eyed woman who is more beautiful in my eyes than even Melania...there’s beauty and then there’s BEAUTY and the pure physical version generally leads to serious disappointment if not accompanied by the inner version.

Really got his panties in a wad doesn’t he. Just a bit snippy there

Mustabeen slow news day for the guardian

Have pity on the Fox managers who must hire the talent that shows up for these TV journalist jobs.  Auditioning all these intelligent beauties is tough work!

I live close to the University of Georgia (UGA).  And yes, they have one of the biggest journalism colleges in the country.

Yesterday around 9:00 AM I drove by the university and at a stop sign saw a large group of students cross at the Stop sign in front of me.  They were arriving on campus for their first classes.

And so many of the young ladies in that crowd had intelligent faces and cute smiles -- the vast majority were handsome -- several were stunning.  Certainly most of the women were blondes or light-brown-haired, but not all.  A couple of black ladies there were of the knock-your-socks-off beauty variety.

So what a glorious sight for a transplanted (2016) New Englander to see.  It's the middle of February and it's 70 degrees in Athens, GA.  My relatives up North are shivering their butts off.  But here, the trees are flowering and I'm watching dozens of women wearing gym shorts and showing tanned legs.

So as I say, have pity on the poor Fox managers who must choose among these roses, daffodils, and daisies.

Hadley Freeman.

'nuff said.

[Redleg Duke]

Well, for one thing, other than Shepard Smith, they are real, heterosexual women...with brains.

“I’m thinking of Kellyanne Conway, Ann Coulter ...”

Neither of whom is a Fox News employee.

[MayflowerMadam]

I’m a girl, but I always thought Patty Ann Brown was the best looking of all of them.

[Palio di Siena]

Why? Because they can.

My wife bought an Ivanka dress last week, and I have several bottles of Trump wine coming FedEx. BTW, the dress looks great.

Where did you find the Trump wine? I couldn’t find it.

I was going to a wedding last year and every dress in my closet was very outdated. I found an Ivanka Trump dress in TJMaxx and was so very impressed with it’s simplicity. Now, I’m 70 and my skinny days have long past but I figured ,hey, what the heck try it on for some giggles. To my surprise it was unbelievably flattering, reasonably priced and I was thrilled.

Is that why my 4 year old red (so red its almost orange)haired,freckle faced blue eyed granddaughter is so ornery?! She never stops,won't take no for an answer,is always dancing,running,singing,acting,not afraid of anything type girl. She whips this Pop Pop silly! I call her Bossy Boots. But I wouldn't have her any other way.

This is just a Jewish woman expressing typical ethnic neurosis and hatreds.
