In January of 1993, two weeks before Bill Clinton’s first presidential inauguration, Hillary Clinton asked Robert McNeely to be their official White House photographer. McNeely captured the family’s public and private moments for the next six years. In 100 previously unseen photographs now showcased in the collection The Making of Hillary Clinton: The White House Years, published this month by University of Texas Press, we see the former First Lady host Princess Diana and Anna Wintour, decorate the White House Christmas tree, and pose in a stylish fur headpiece in Moscow.

“Despite having been in the public eye for so long, Hillary Clinton is often described as the least-known, least-understood famous person in America,” McNeely writes in the book’s introduction. “I hope that in taking readers behind the scenes and showing her from new angles, these photographs might provide greater insight into the making of this extraordinary woman.” The candid photos give a glimpse into the family’s private life.

Photo 10 looks like she loaths Bubba.

That was her first attempt to impress the Russians.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

They aren’t that flattering. She looks downright ugly in the one. I bet she probably didn’t want these to see the light of day.

Reminds me of Beatrice (Bea) Zeeck. She was Hillary long before Hillary was Hillary, I promise.

"Photo 1:...How do I look as Czarina?"

I thought it was her hipster-dufus attempt at an afro....

Before she morphed into a hoover vacuumn cleaner bag. :-)

These were taken back when Hillary actually looked reasonably good in the early 1990's. But she did NOT age well, as we've seen from pictures from 2014 on.

Where is the mandatory “BARF!” Alert?

With that overbite, you could pop open a bottle of Beer.

She did loathe Bubba (because of his extra marital affairs .. he was just the price she had to pay to get to the WH .. but then her true self showed up .. and nobody wanted her anywhere near the WH again.
