Melania really lights up around children.
That is a lot of pitchers.
Two classy women. I’m looking forward to Usha Vance becoming the FLOTUS in 2029 - I plan to vote for her husband.
I LOVE Melania’s outfit!

YES!!!!
Usha ooh la la
Great pics! Thanks for the ping!
Such wonderful picture. Two lovely ladies and lots of genuine smiles.
It is nice for Melania to have a good 2nd lady instead of that fat old prune face Pence witch.
An honest smile has matching eyes.
This is evident in all the photos of these two ladies.
Sour-puss leftist smiles..notsomuch...at all
Question.
I noticed Usha has a skirt length far below the knee.
Same as the into scene of Law and Order (original one) with Odelya Halevi wearing a long dress. Saw someone else,, too. (can’t remember, maybe local news).
Problem.
This is a long time superstitious sign of a bad downturn coming in the US economy. So called Hemline Index.
Long dresses and parasols for the Music Man era.
1960s turned from the long to miniskirts and the economy came out of the mid 1950s recessions.
Roaring 20s -—short skirts.
Depression: long ones, including because baggy clothes were easier to repair repeatedly when people were now too poor to buy new clothes.

In the mid-Sixties, Mary Quant’s brash mini, made famous by Twiggy, marked a booming economy and a new-found freedom, whereas the onset of feminism and a slumping market in the Seventies meant that skirt hems dropped to the floor once more.
By the mid-Eighties, and sported by Cindy Crawford, they were shorter than ever when shares reached new heights, until the recession of the early Nineties when rising interest rates and plummeting house prices gave birth to grunge and Kate Moss started modelling.

No trannies
No tats or nose rings
No blue, purple or pink hair
No ghettopotomi
No fists waving in the air
No protest signs threatening violence
Nothing but fit, smiling faces glad to be there. Made my day.
Melania really lights up with children. Usha just radiates a sweetness I’ve found most admirable, especially for her man. Both are remarkable women.
From a guy who now lives in カラオケ land.
The Japanese are very fond of karaoke and young people come as group to rent a private room for a few hours to sing and eat snacks.
Fifth and sixth pix from the bottom — that guy grinning his heart out at Melania and then taking a selfie with her — he will dream about that days and nights for the rest of his life.
Nice.
