There was just one thing that would have made the brash and chaotic circus of the Trump presidency complete — his irrepressible first wife, Ivana. Unlike shy and glacial Melania, whose heart never seemed to be in it, the Czech-born former skiing instructor and fur coat model would have been the perfect, larger-than-life First Lady for the bombastic president.
Her outrageous hairdos were as bouffant as his, her wit as caustic and her personality just as egocentric and competitive. The formidable Ivana was also a detail-obsessed workaholic who played a key role in the Trump business empire.
She became an unlikely hit with British viewers in the 2010 series of Celebrity Big Brother and would surely have relished every second in the White House — although heaven only knows what the queen of kitsch would have done with the decor.

Marble stairs and high fashion footwear are not a good combination.
I know it’s bad but I love this story—great visual and she had spunk.
Point taken, but skiing backwards and CATCHING UP with someone seems a real stretch. Did she put her skis on backwards so the curved, raised end would be on the downhill side?
I can see her doing it. Her husband was cheating on her. Marla confronted her as mistresses sometimes do during that trip. I could see her flipping out. There were plenty of witnesses to what went down.
Whether or not she was skiing backwards...she was pissed enough to do it.
It isn’t the most aeordynamic way to ski, for sure.
I’ve seen people turn themselves backwards for short periods.
Look up twin tip skis.
Read before posting. There are a lot of people who can ski backwards, BTW. 🙂
This story came out when it hit the magazines of a cat fight on the slopes. A witness said Ivana skied backwards telling off Donald as he was trying to get away from the two women...
Who was the other woman? 🙂
She musta had spunk. She bested Donald by two marriages.
marla maples.
One of my favorite stories was how Trump took Don Jr and said Ivana couldn’t have him back.
Ivana called his bluff and said keep him...I have two other kids to raise. trump returned Don Jr. LOLOL
Pere et fils.
She was a near but not quite Olympic level Czech skier before the Donald
In my day I could ski backwards on medium slope
It’s not that hard honestly
Lots of people ski backwards
Marla Maples was a big mistake, and I’m pretty sure he regrets that move, to this day.
That was crass of me wasn’t it.
he was openly flaunting her
