On the cover of Vogue, she looks like she is smiling and sneering at the same time. Or she just smelled something really bad and is “trying” not to show it.
Unfortunate that the airbrush can do nothing about that horrible overbite.
Great.....another magazine I’ll have to turn around or cover with another in the checkout lane.
Thought I got caught the other day, but the old gal just smiled and nodded when she saw me do it.
Got my Sharpie ready for my Dr. appointment next week. I like to provide footnotes in his Time and Newsweek rags.
[she looks like she is smiling and sneering at the same time]
She always looks that way.
The first lady the world has been waiting for?!? BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Day-um Shaniqua...is that you stankin' like that?"
[Great.....another magazine Ill have to turn around or cover with another in the checkout lane.]
Ha! That’s what I do! But now I am considering carrying yellow post-its to put on the front of magazines saying “Vote the Commies out!”

the woman has some mean chompers
This is nothing more than guilt-ridden liberal whites with
their arcane “ black is beautiful” paternalism!
I have to admit Hillary looks stunning in the Vogue shot.
This one.....**shudder**.... she needs someone else to pick her clothes. She seems to be quite talented at picking the opposite colors that work for her skin tone
Brilliant photoshop job. She hasn’t been that thin since... well, whenever!
A real face for radio
Where’s the BARF alert for this post? I have to empty my garbage can now. Thanks.
Ditto - and ENOUGH of this kind of stuff!!!!! Too much of it else where - don’t need it here!
