I gotta say, the piece really gave me the ick about the NYTimes. I get that there’s something there as far as Trump’s comments on women and how all of the women he employs kind of look the same, but I hate framing it about one woman who happens to have changed her hair over the years. They provide zero quotes from her or about her saying yes, she’s doing it for Trump. So on the one hand it seems obvious and arguably newsworthy but on the other hand, for me as far as Kristi Noem they really didn’t “have the story” as it were.

This was discussed in the Political forum because of her crazy politics and the Texas connection and simping for free dental care.
But from the purely fashion perspective, yes, there are ladies who age of all political persuasions and they want to look more "polished". So many threads on here for just us norms that say teeth are important for looking polished. The biggest difference is that it truly seems to be a republican thing or a housewife thing to want to add hair hair hair and length. DCUM agrees that aging hair is best kept age appropriate. We loved Ivanka's bob! So I think it's fair game when a woman wants to change her hair *in that way* that we all know is Trumpy/housewifey vs. just changing her hair. Y'know?
This is beyond Noem, but also Noem - the problem is that no one just sort of keeps their teeth looking nice. They make them BLINDING WHITE. With HUGE VENEERS. It's the same with the injectibles and stuff - it's not just, hey let's just smooth and fill a little. It's LET'S TURN MY FACE INTO A MASK THAT ONLY VAGUELY RESEMBLES A HUMAN BEING. The boobs, too! Not just, hey let's get a little bit of fullness - but LET ME HAVE TWO BOWLING BALLS STRAPPED TO MY CHEST AND THEN DISPLAY THEM ALL THE TIME FOREVER MORE.
Sorry for yelling
And obviously with Noem being a sitting governor, her shilling for a Texas cosmetic dental biz is super weird - even weirder than what she's done to herself physically. She was a good looking person, who was also within the real of looking pretty normal. Now she looks like she's been replaced by a wax figure. Maybe all these people ARE being replaced by wax figures and we're just too busy judging what we think they've done to themselves to really notice!
