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.

Regardless of how things ended up between the parents, the three children she gave Donald have remained pretty loyal to dad.
ABC News had a nice piece on Ivana last night during their evening news. It was somewhat long and she and the rest of the (former) and current family were treated shockingly fairly, IMO.
As I recall, the instructors do a lot of skiing backwards as they ski in front of and help the beginning skier.

pretty petty.....personally I don’t care about such things....I try very hard not to follow “celebrities”....
That big NYC Vogue Editor, Anna Wintour, has had the same hairstyle since 1988....I can’t recall a picture with her hair done differently. Ugly old domineering crone.......
Me? I’ve lost track? Is he on to wife number four yet? Kayleigh, Hope, Allison (Steinberg) and Paula White-Cain have a chance perhaps.
I still think he regrets that mistake, Marla Maples. She had no class whatsoever. 🙂
Maybe, but I do not think so. The few times I went skiing, I would see people skiing backwards. I mean it wasn’t down the treacherous part of the mountain, but it still impressed me at that time. 🙂
