Not the PP. This is hysterical. It actually seems like you're writing fan fic about how students look on an Ivy League campus. I actually laughed. These students look just like students on any other campus - not "effortlessly polished." I think it's you who's never set foot on an Ivy League campus. Here, let's take a peek at Yale Law School: ![]() ![]() |
Lol that Rancho Peñasquitos is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in San Diego. |
I sort of agree with this. Every picture of Usha, the first thing I think is “she looks exhausted”. And a little bit miserable even when she is smiling. It’s a valid choice to not wear makeup (we all agree she generally is not wearing any makeup right?) even if it’s an unusual one. But the result is she looks very worn down. That’s totally separate from her features which I think are fine/moderately pretty. I usually think her hair is fine and her outfits are not great but not like embarrassing the country bad. It’s mostly interesting she’s not toeing the line in this one way, but seemingly was fine going along with the rest of the party line and her husband selling his soul pretty completely. |
Certainly no fan of either Vance but I think Usha looks completely fine. Shes professional and appropriately dressed. She doesn’t need to be a fashion icon. I think the gray hair throws people off and it’s a bit surprising that she doesn’t color it but has it occurred to anyone that she could be allergic to hair dye? Who knows why she chooses not to color. |
Is she also allergic to every other hair product, makeup, and nice clothes? We have seen that her hair can look smooth and pretty, grey or no, so we know it’s possible and she just opts out. |
My kid is at any Ivy and kids definitely don’t look effortlessly polished. And I went to Yale law and people definitely did not look great. I remember one of my college friends visiting and basically joking “good thing you guys have brains, cause there’s not a lot of lookers here.” One of my female classmates used to suck her hair all the time and it was a tangled mess. (She was a massive gunner and has a very successful career.). I’ve posted repeatedly that it’s sort of mystifying why Usha can’t dress better, but your post about Yale Law is just way way off the mark—the gunners pretty much look as bad as anyone. I can think of three women in my class who had any fashion sense and they were not gunners. |
I think she’s wearing makeup. She’s wearing the kind of light tasteful makeup that educated lawyers wear but if you’re being photographed you need a heavier hand. I’d guess she’s wearing some under eye cover up and a light lipstick or lip gloss in most pictures and she also seems to be wearing light eyeliner and or light eye shadow in at least some. |
need more insane pictures plz |
DP. I went to Harvard and was not "effortlessly polished." I looked like a homeless Pre-Raphaelite waif, and that's the way I liked it. |
Yes, I have a BA and MA from two different Ivy League schools, and my ds recently graduated from one as well. You sound as if you really, REALLY liked Gossip Girl. You do not sound as if YOU have ever "been on an Ivy League campus." |
I'm the PP who wrote what you're quoting a few days ago -- you missed the part where I said "a late 30s woman" - Karen Pence and Jill Biden were not. |
Oh! I didn't know this - she never lived in Ohio with him???? |
Do a search, we made fun of Gwen for this wrinkled mess. Go start your own thread if you want to rehash this stuff. Been there, done that. |
OMG. Tell me you've never been an Ivy League campus without telling me you've never been to an Ivy League campus. You'll find the same sloppy kids on any college campus, whether it's Harvard or University of Illinois. |
+1 She wears her makeup lightly, which personally, is refreshing. |
