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.
Instead, Ivana had to observe some sense of decorum and watch from the sidelines — and largely succeeded.

Don Juan the Yawn?
I always find it interesting how badly some people age. Maybe it was all makeup to begin with?
No, it’s usually genetics.
i have a stereotype of eastern european women not aging well but Melania is doing pretty well
Women who cling to the same hair and makeup styles of their youth end up looking ridiculous no matter how pretty they are. A nice update to one’s style every decade will help a woman age gracefully even if she is average looking.
Melania is only 52, check again in 20 years.
She was a world class skier and ski instructor. I’m sure she could ski backwards.
Steve - obviously you don’t ski.
Stop commenting about skiing.
She was a champion skier and a ski instructor before she met Trump.
Is there any evidence of this? Who can ski backwards, much less an amateur? And how could you catch and pass someone if you were skiing backwards?
Boy, don’t you feel like a dummy, posting that….after all of the evidence posts, to you. 🙃
Weird that she would spell it different than her name.
richard branson has a story that Ivana got mad when he flipped her upside down even though her beehive stayed intact. She said she would never fly his airline again.
Great reply! :)
No, nobody on Dennis Rodman’s team caught that they spelled her name wrong. I think Melania was pretty diplomatic about it when she saw it but the advisers and Trump nailed Rodman for it.
A message perhaps.🤔
I think it’s individual genetics. Some women win the genetic lottery and some, even in the same family, do not. I have a cousin who took meticulous care of herself all her life, she’s my age but looks 90.
your probably right, it’s just funny that some women like Betty White obviously age, but they still look like themselves just older, while others COMPLETELY CHANGE. And are unrecognizable.
I dont think so. She was pretty frail. She had to be supported when she was out walking. An accident waiting to happen
It is blunt impact trauma versus blunt force trauma. M.E. said it was from falling down the stairs.
