So because this is 2016 we are no longer allowed to have opinions on what, or who, we find feminine or masculine, or what traits we find off-putting?

 

Sorry to be so dense...maybe someone can help me out because this makes no sense to me.

Megyn has a lot of freckles that are covered up with makeup when she's on the air. I've heard her say that on TV shows before.

Mrs. O did not start the sleeveless dress trend in cool/cold

weather. That had been going on years before she even came onto the scene.


@Lila Belle  That may very well be, but I never noticed it before.  Mrs. O got a lot of publicity for her toned arms back then and after that I started noticing.  No matter.

That's not what this thread is about anyway.  So pre- or post- Mrs. O I still think wearing sleeveless dresses in the middle of winter in climates where winter is cold  is crazy.

 

Back to the subject at hand.  Forgot to mention that on the Tonight Show last night, they showed Megyn on the cover of Vogue magazine. I assume it's the current issue; Jimmy Fallon never said, he just held it up.

I agree that short hair flatters her.  I used to be a fan, but I don't watch much anymore.  She seems to be on an ego trip lately.  I've suspected for some time that she'd like to anchor a network nightly newscast.  She seems a bit young to write a memoir.


She isn't.  The article - see link I posted - specifically states: "The book isn’t exactly a memoir but it will describe her experiences in the news business.”  She's old enough to have had plenty of experiences in the business.


ITA

She has had many experiences.  I think she's so pretty, but I like her longer hair.

A few months ago, about five women and one man were sitting on a horseshoe shaped couch. All the women had their legs crossed, high heels on and dresses so short, I almost saw things I did not want to see. This was on Fox.


Fox is notorious for that.  They totally go on secks appeal.

Meghan K is smart and attractive!

I tease my husband that Kimberly (The Five panel) is going to swing her leg off one of these days.

 

 


I hate that!  I really wish her producer or director would tell her to cut it out.  It's very distracting and not in a good way.  

 


  I caught the The Five Panel on FOX a few times and couldn't get over how Kimberly is dressed . I had to look her up as I couldn't remember her name ,Kimberly Guilfoyle .

 

See is seated at the end of the table so you get a full view of her. I'm shocked how she sits back in her chair with her legs crossed and her short dress !

I'm no prude but it looks very unprofessional !    Woman Embarassed

She may not of started it but at the time she came on the scence sleeveless she was applauded as a trendsetter.

Oh please she can't have it both ways wanting to be considered a strong journalist (what a joke) and then scream hurt feelings when she is called on it.By Trump. She has all her little minions out talking smack about Trumpo because he called her on her unprofessional manner. She went after him while giving a pass to her employers darlings.  That is not good Journalism. She insinuated herself into the debates and has run with it because her employer and the Rep establishment hate Trump.

Megan was always one of my favorites on TV, until she did the debate, and it seemed like she was filming a tape for an interview to show how tough she could be, and her ego got in the way, IMHO. It has nothing to do with who was debating for me, it was all on her.

Thanks Cara, but I don't think that answered my question. Maybe this was being addressed to prisrob's comment?
