Who is the most homely First Lady?

This whore - inside and out.

Jealousy looks horrid on you, dah-link.

R2 I really don't care, do you?

Martha Washington was no stunner, although I agree with r1 that Melania is the ugliest inside

Melania Trump

/do͝or,ˈdou(ə)r/

adjective

relentlessly severe, stern, or gloomy in manner or appearance

Mamie.

R6 Oooo, chile!

R6 Oooo, chile!

I'm beautiful on the inside!

I'm pink on the inside.

What makes you think I won’t cut you, R6?

Mamie (NOT Mammy) Eisenhower for the win!

Mamie could have looked much better if she'd had her own stylist, preferably gay.

But I'm afraid poor ol Lady Bird was homely to the bone.

Ahahahha! Lady Bird takes the prize for sure!

Don't be trash talkin' my lady! It was Bess Truman got beat by the ugly stick!

Bess Truman and Mamie were homelier than Lady Bird

Jackie was only considered a beauty because she came from wealth.

Well, at least Jackie was young, slim, and stylish. Not so much with Bess and Mamie.

Not one of them was a looker before me. I be best.

Ike and Mamie as newlyweds

Ike was kinda hot.

Ike was a pretty boy. Who knew?

I'm no oil painting, but I beat Lady Bird ... by a nose.

She wasn't the most homely but I never got all the hubbub about Jackie O's supposed beauty.

Bitch looked like a bullfrog.

R20 You can just feel the sexual energy between them in that photo.

I am far from a SJW or something like that, but come on! In 2020 we're still wondering who was an ugly woman while her husband was president? Let's put aside the fact that most of the women -- with a few notable exceptions -- were in their 50s or 60s, had borne children, carried the bigger burden of doing so while the husbands pursued higher and higher office or moved frequently because of military transfers, suffered in silence at the deadly banality of meet-and-greets, all for reflected glory. The fact that many of them -- again, with a few notable exceptions -- did so without becoming crazy drunks, addicts, or lunatics should obviate any discussion of homeliness. I would think that if you see photos of the women when they were younger, you'd see the beauty of youth. Except on DL, where all eyes go to the handsome husband.

Show some respect.

^^carried the bigger burden of rearing them^^

R26 Sorry, Tricia Nixon.

r26 I see DL's frau contingent has weighed in.

Mamie's bangs were a crime against humanity. R12

I have to go with Barbara Bush. Eleanor Roosevelt was unattractive, but at least she didn't look 20 years older than her age. How the hell did Barbara Bush age so prematurely when she's had the cushiest life imaginable? The bitch never worked a day in her life.

Being a political spouse is work.

Bitchy Alice Roosevelt (as played by Linda Purl in "Eleanor and Franklin") said it best: "How could aunt Anna and uncle Elliot put two such beautiful heads together and end up with something so plain?"

Melania before the plastic surgery

Jackie and Uma Thurman are tied for the award of "Celebrities whose eyes are farthest apart from each other."

r35, Brandy would like a word

R26 = the ghost of Mamie

Eleanor Roosevelt was homely but charmingly so - her expressive and intelligent face was not off-putting.

Florence Mabel Kling DeWolfe Harding looked like a cross between Mama on "Mama's Family" and Angela Lansbury in "Manchurian candidate."

Mamie was plain but her hair lifted her to true horror. SHE'S my vote.

Dolly Madison

Dolly Madison

R30. On the list of atrocities to befall the human race, it's Mamie Eisenhower's bangs, then 9/11 is a close second.

Hold my beer!

Abigail Fillmore is rather manly looking.

^^^ as was Barbara Bush

Alice Roosevelt should be the patron saint of DL, r33. Along with St. Dorothy Parker, who learned a lot from her.

💃 I was Lovely and Petite

Liked my Jack Daniels neat

And I could dance on your casket

Without Missing a Beat !

Oh, do please fuck into space, R29.

Mamie's bangs were specifically created for her at Elizabeth Arden in New York. It was the best they could do, They tried their hardest and actually did OK, considering.

^ Mamie was pleased and never changed her look again. Yes, Elizabeth Arden gave her that look.

Was Mamie's hairstyle ever featured in the magazine:

[italic] Fifty Great Hairstyles for Women Over Fifty

Ike wanted to divorce her and marry his WWII livery driver but both Patton and Marshall and all his political advisors told him it would end his incipient political career and he would never be President if he did. So he stuck with the old cow.

Mamie's bangs are too small. They look ridiculous. Why didn't they just give her a nice full wig?

Every example here is of women who looked quite normal for their age in the time period they were living in.

A better thread would be about the First Ladies best and worst style, because that's what most of you are talking about. Mamie's bangs for example, which we once had a fantastic thread on, but which of course was deleted. Someone mentioned that her hair was so thin and her hairline receding so badly that the clip-ons were the best she could do while avoiding a full wig.

Abigail Fillmore looks like a man in a Shirley Temple wig

R4 George married Martha for her fat wallet not her looks

--Dick Cheney?

That's Big Dick Cheney.
