  1. Amal is a great speaker and answered the questions intelligently. She’s right about the fact that Trump perpetuates a stereotype by insinuating that all Muslims/Mexicans (a.k.a.”they”) seeking immigration are a danger to the US. (That would be equivalent to a Syrian political candidate warning his citizens that Westerners are likely to shoot up their schools.) I thought Amal was very kind in her description of Trump’s racism… I don’t think I could be near as tactful.

    Also watch for the (not so) subliminal imagery in Trump’s first political ad (“Cut the Head Off Isis”)
    he shows two portraits, a man and a woman in a turban and hijab, looking sinister, and as their images fade, destruction from a bombing appears in their place… the portraits and horrific scene are actually overlapping for a second. This literally attaches all “Muslims” with terrorism. He also perpetuates fear… the same ad shows a hoard of illegal immigrants (which I think we are to believe are Mexican) charging the border. The footage was actually taken from Morocco.

    As well, he tweeted “statistics” which is totally false. (Note the way a black person is portrayed.)

    I could go on and on about his backward beliefs (like it’s okay for a husband to rape his wife) but this is a style blog, so I’ll say this — Amal looks ever more pretty on video than in photos!

  2. Great texture in this Oscar de la Renta skirt & jacket. Nice top, as well. (but slightly “scary” to see the top of her arm near her shoulder is the same diameter as her wrist/forearm. Kind of scary thin). Pretty hair style & make up. Who can ever go wrong with Oscar de la Renta?! Classy. 🙂

    1. Jacklyn- I’m not seeing what you are seeing. Which photo shows her shoulder and wrist so we can see what you are referring to? I am not able to take a measurement from two different static photos of the circumference of the upper arm and the wrist.

  3. Fascinating interview with Amal:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03sb75q?ocid=socialflow_twitter

    AMAL: “I just step in when they can’t really speak for themselves”

    She knows she has power and pull of a very unique kind due to the media attention generated by her marriage. Whilst this opens up a hornet’s nest of ethical, moral and legal issues, I just hope she remains on the good guys’ side!! And after this journalist is released, I hope she starts working on bringing attention to the other 19 women political prisoners on Samantha Power’s “FreeThe20” Campaign (Khadija Ismayilova is one of the 20). Imagine Samantha Power and Amal on the same team….wow!!

    1. Thanks for sharing this link Anna. Its really very interesting her interviews on radio ( i think this is what this was) vs in person on camera. She is more relaxed – and less tense then she appears when on camera. I dont think she is really into all the lights and cameras- she has a job and wants to do it. the fact that she is pretty, has a great fashion sense and oh lets not forget shes married to Clooney catches the attention. It was interesting listening to her tone and expression without seeing her on camera.

  4. Anastasia, i fully agree. As a German i will be grateful to America for the support After world war II forever , but due to Trump a lot of Friends and myself don’t have the interest in visiting that wonderful Country again. It is a shame, that he Can make These hate speeches (incitement of masses). Mexicans are good enough to do the Dirty work of a very rich society. Read the Book from T.C. Boyle, America. Sometimes he reminds of somebody who convinced the Germans centuries ago, that jewish people are rats. The results are well known i hope. In regards to refugees, especially from syria, he should keep his mouth, too. Due to the wars initiated by America, e.g. Iraq etc. the middle East is that instabile and which Country tries to be human? We Germans. We try to cope with the masses of refugees and Trump says: our chancellor is stupid and naive, that we help these poor people.

    Sorry, that man is very dangerous
