Although I tried to avoid it I did see a picture of Melanie

[moniss]

at the scene of today's crime and she appears to have decided to wear a Buick hubcap for a hat. Must have been for the big old Roadmaster model because they had a deep dish effect and this one is plopped on her head and is just about lower than her eyes. It's either a Buick or an enameled soup pot from a cookware set. But the real hot dish is about Bezos and his fiancee. She showed up in an outfit that is apparently a pair of pants, a white lace bra for the top and a jacket to match the pants. How classy and dignified. Here's a picture of her maybe "working a fallback position" next to the almost life-like Zuckerberg.

13. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[global1]

43. This Is The First Image I Had When I Saw The Pic In The OP....

Thoughts of Boris & Natasha also were suggested. But this posted picture is what I thought was Natasha's.

Melania looked like a female spy in a James Bond movie.

4. Malaria had that Pilgrim look going on again.

[moniss]

29. She always comes off like she saw a picture one time of what

dressing appropriately is and then she described it to someone. But they couldn't cut through the accent and so the designer just cut something out of cardboard and had it painted. Then the designer showed it to her and she pointed and nodded her head. Then he went to work with cloth and made the designs only to find out Melanie really meant she wanted to wear the cardboard creations.

6. Who is the woman with the fake boobs and even faker...

...lips? Yeesh!

[spooky3]

[roomtomove]

[Cha]

14. AFAIK it's Bezos' finance Lauren Sanchez.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Does she fit right in with the Trumper women?

[Sparkly]

8. Ooops, LS forgot to put her shirt on. Must have left in a rush.

[question everything]

9. I saw a picture where whiny was trying to kiss her, for the camera, but the hat got in the way

[usaf-vet]

17. It should remind anyone who has gone through boot camp. Where the drill Sgt. is threatening you with the bill of the...

.... hat while screaming at you while only inches from your face.

Apologies to all those who went to a boot camp where the "hat" was "cover."

[Dale in Laurel MD]

35. I was wondering...

...if the hat was strategically chosen to make kissing impossible.

[usaf-vet]

12. What body part on Bezo's guest gets the most plastic surgery? Lips or chest? Are they in a size competition?

It's not very classy for the occasion. Oh, wait. It's a Djt gathering. What was I thinking?

[Cha]

15. Fiance and she's trying to Steal the Show.

[moniss]

26. Fiance is the masculine.nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

34. Financee?

[moniss]

36. According to the reference sources

fiance is the masculine and fiancee is the feminine.

[spooky3]

37. Increasingly, gender neutral usage is becoming common.

As in the case of host/hostess, actor/actress, fiancé is used regardless of gender, per this source:

https://quillbot.com/blog/commonly-confused-words/fiance-vs-fiancee/

[moniss]

39. It depends a good deal on

who is using it and what era they grew up in. It is similar to things like people who interchange the words fewer and less. They are not correct to do so but it is more and more accepted. There are other examples of course. I don't believe in changing from what one was properly taught unless there is a discrimination component to it. I don't see one in this case and so to me the idea that it needs to be made "neutral" is excessive and unnecessary. I believe the two forms I referenced describe a clear difference between two things.

[spooky3]

40. I disagree that it is similar to "fewer" and "less." The reason

People are increasingly using “fiance” regardless of gender is to overcome sexism. People of all ages must learn to adapt to social change in reaction to unfairness. There is no such bias to overcome in the example you gave. People who do not understand the correct usage of “fewer” vs “less” may be many, and the language experts may or may not throw up their hands and give up trying to fight the misuse. But this is quite different from eliminating unnecessary gendered usage.

[moniss]

44. Some people are too limited in their thinking to understand that they may be applying

a label to something in a language that is misplaced when discussing language and how it works especially in things that cross from one language to another. For example there are feminine or masculine variations of words in Spanish. The words in question of fiance or fiancee aren't English language words anyway and are simply words that came over from French.

But some people go so far as to feel that even in pipe fittings that we should not describe things as male or female. Maybe we should change an entire industry and commonly understood terms and just use "innie and outie" or something. But when it comes to languages words can have masculine or feminine application and the intent of the person is where any malevolence in use resides not in the word itself. I don't see a harm in saying a host or hostess for example. If I am having a conversation about being served at a restaurant and I'm complimenting the experience from the time I walked in I feel being able to say that a hostess saw me to my seat and checked on me gives the person I'm speaking to an immediate understanding of the scene. I think it is clumsy and unnecessary for me to say a "female host" or "male host" attended my experience. It also eliminates someone in a conversation needing to ask if the "host" was a man or woman.

My feeling is that people can get carried away with supposedly "correcting" things where there is no discriminatory intent and actually is only a difference that they disagree with. I could find any number of instances in language where things could be changed but I don't because I discern whether the words have a derogatory intent or not.

16. Zorro

The wife was cosplaying Zorro.

[The Blue Flower]

20. The Baron looks like Bela Lugosi

Creepy

[Polly Hennessey]

31. My first thought was Dracula. To quote B. Davis, "buckle up".

[Baitball Blogger]

21. She looks like she's the spiritualist for an exorcism.

[drmeow]

22. Second time Bezos' fiancee

has attended a state event in a wildly inappropriate outfit. She acknowledged that the lace corset dress was perhaps inappropriate for a White House dinner but apparently didn't internalize the lesson. I guess when you snagged the billionaire by cheating with him on his wife, you have to make sure he's constantly reminded that you are "sexy." Classless.

[question everything]

33. These people will not recognize class when they see one.

[Nixie]

23. I thought I saw Pam Bondi giving Lauren Sanchez a disapproving

glance. Lauren always walks around like she shops at teen stores. She cheapens herself so much. Looks like she forgot her turtleneck under that suit.

[Dulcinea]

24. I thought she stole the hat from a Hasidic man...

...and put a white band on it. I was also wondering if that's the outfit she's planning to wear to the Fascist Felon's funeral.

[LeftInTX]

27. Kentucky Derby!

[Xoan]

25. Baron reminds me ...

Of Lurch.

[Liberal In Texas]

32. When I saw it I thought, look there's a Flying Saucer Hat.

[Conjuay]

38. I think the hat is fine

She needs a bigger head or a ski cap underneath it.
Who wears a hat over her ears?

[bdamomma]

41. spy vs spy

no class at all.

[UTUSN]

42. Bwah-HAH!!!!!
