I think she is beautiful just the way she is.

Yes they can. But what the OP has done is taken the image of an older woman and made her look younger. My point is that older women, to me, are beautiful the way they are. Young people are beautiful also, every age has its own beauty.

One more step and you'd have Miss Piggy! I prefer the first photo.

Her outward appearance isn't what bothers me.

I think she looks so much more attractive in the first photo. Older women, or any age woman, do not look better with lots of makeup. I have always gone for the more natural look. Why does she need a tiara?

I think she looks fine as she is. I don't understand the OP's reasoning in changing her to a younger look. It strikes me as catty and rather rude...

And no I'm not defending Hillary..I'm not voting.

Some of the 'liked' comments make it seem as if the picture may have been just a way to start a political conversation. I'm glad that no one is taking that bait, I'm sure that 'Hot Topics' has plenty of room for such threads.

Many of us here are older, and we are beautiful in our way. We also are perfectly capable of asking that any political brawls, where feelings can run high, go to HT.

I'm unsure what the op thinks is wrong with how Hillary looks? Why would she need fixing? The after looks like she's made up for a pageant instead of running for president.

The second image reminds me of all of the advertisements for makeup in magazines -- where they take a model, apply their makeup, take a picture, photoshop the picture extensively, and imply that if you buy their makeup, you too can look like their extensively re-touched image of a professional model.

Sure they call it "advertising" but I think that fraud is a more apt term.

Well, Lucille, you probably wouldn't have appreciated what I was going to post on the 'how many baboons?' thread, so I'll be nice, and just say that I think the Donald could put that tiara to better use. ;)

I don't understand the OP.

I don't understand why a man with that much money cannot afford a decent hair dresser? Why does his wife not put her foot down! HAHA!

I think Hillary looks great for an almost 70 year old woman! How many women that are 70 look that good yet people love to make fun of her looks! GAH! If I look that good when I'm 70, I'll be ecstatic!

Because his hair is his trademark and he LIKES it - that's all that really matters. At least he HAS hair!

I think Hillary is very pretty. I think her looks are her best asset.

paperweights -- Is that the equivalent of "Bless your heart"?

Hillary Rodham Clinton has a first class brain.

Good grief. Chill. I was just playing around with an app on my phone. Now that I look at it, I accidentally made her look like Honey Boo Boo. Lawdy.

Wow mama, calling me caddy & rude. Yup. That's me, you know me so well.

Pawprint, I was about to say, "What the heck?!" Until I scrolled up a ways. ;)

Paw.. (Scott) I do know you that's why I can get away with it..Hahaha...

Perhaps Pawprint just wanted an excuse to play with his phone app. Personally, I think Hillary looks a lot better as Hillary than she does as Honey Boo Boo.

Alisanda wins the prize!! I was just playing around with a new phone app that seems to make everyone look like Honey Boo Boo.

I love you too mama! At first I was very hurt that you would say something like that to me because I'm a nice guy with an odd sense of humor. But I know you were just messing with me.

I'm sorry if I upset or offended anyone here at the table. That wasn't my intention.

Plus, Hillary needs a tiera because she's a princess in my eyes. I have nothing but respect for her.

I do like her hair a lot. I wonder if that might be a difficult style to maintain. I'm looking for something different.

I feel like we wouldn't do this with a male candidate.

bingo auntpetunia! I agree with you.

I just didn't understand the reference to the debate going to be a bloodbath and that being the apparent reason for the "before and after ".
