Melania Trump Is Fashionable, But She's Unlikely To Become A Fashion Icon Like Michelle Obama

Today, America gets a new First Lady. She’s beautiful – a former model! – with an impeccable wardrobe and the money to buy all the couture she wants. So why, when President Trump and his family are long out of the White House, and his administration is enshrined in the annals of history, will Michelle Obama – a woman with no connection to the fashion industry before she came into public view – be remembered as the more iconic of the two?

Certainly, First Lady Melania will break down in tears over this assumption. /s

These clowns never give up, do they? They’ll be cleaning their red nose soon; it’s being up others rumps so long a time.

Note to faux fashion icons....
GIVE IT UP!

It is amazing how many wonderful posts about her have been posted on FB. Of course some of the comments are very negative. I think some are just jealous.

They can print that a transvestite is a fashion icon while keeping a straight face?

I’m willing to listen.

Perhaps ICON is French for Dodo.

That was Malcolm Forbes that reportedly went gay in his latter years. Good friend of the gay Jewish Russian commie Armand Hammer.

Wikipedia MSF entry says Trump didn't allow to MSF to bring two underage males into the Plaza bar, leading, according to Trump, his not making the Forbes 400 the year of MSF's demise.

Back in the day, I liked Forbes, and MSF, but I saw the clip of MSF being a bon vivant a-hole visiting China, iirc, cutting loose his balloon near a restricted PRC military installation.

Some guest..., giving, imho, Trump the benefit of the doubt on MSF's underage, at least drinking age, boy toys.

Perhaps some people at the magazine have long, but irrational memories?

The then-wife had a distant relative that worked at Fortune at the time of MSF's death, and I remember him saying that the Forbes family had MSF cremated ASAP, with stories of AIDS whispered about.

Michelle Obama is a fashion icon for those who appreciate expensive circus tents.
