I cannot imagine how tired our Secretary of State must be, but she was wide awake and very effective in London today while looking lovely, as always. We see her at 10 Downing Street with David Cameron, William Hague, and U.S. Ambassador to Britain Louis Susman. We also see her at the conference itself as well as at the press briefing that followed. Remarks (video and text) from the conference and the briefing were posted here earlier and can be found by clicking on the title of the previous post just left of the title.
Posing while talking on the phone. Love it!

She should be proud! She looks gorgeous from behind. Perfect figure 8.
(We’re not all meant to look like sticks. I would not mind not looking like a stick. But even if I bulk up, I just look like a FAT stick, so I am stuck looking like a thin stick. Would not mind being that curvy at all!)
LikeLike
Yes, but I think, if she were asked, she name some things about her figure that she’d prefer were less curvy. Ask the same question of the gentlemen at that conference and they might have a differenct answer. Her squire probably wouldn’t want to answer that question for fear of getting the answer wrong, but he could be asked as well.
LikeLike
When she is asked certain questions, she answers that she will not pretend to speak for another, and I wouldn’t DARE try to put words in her mouth.
Taking off of my usual glasses and donning objective ones, I see curves that are very pretty, and to hell with what she thinks! They are a feminine ideal (among many – my stick-thin form gets its hits too, but I see why guys are fascinated by hers).
I will not pretend to read her mind, but it looks like she knows she is hot.

One could say that it isn’t putting words in her mouth when she’s made comments about losing weight or trying to lose weight or dieting for years, but that’s just my theory.
LikeLike
Well, dieting is one thing, but that doesn’t change your basic shape. She is a figure 8. I am pretty straight up and down – maybe I am a triangle. Some women are apples. Hillary is curvy with a small waist. Whether she gains or loses that is her shape.

Hmmm, I don’t know. Who says that he was late? Maybe those are the pics that he wanted. Late in the primaries Hillary was going to appear at some place in FL. Before her arrival an older woman started berating the media, yelling at them to stop filming and photographing Hillary’s a$$. She found it disrespectful. So, the point is that photographers and cameramen have been focusing on her backside for years now. LOL!!!
LikeLike
I think it is disrespectful, but media is a business after all. There would be no need to supply photos like those if no one were demanding them. For a while there you could count on at least one shot of the Secretary ascending the stairs to her plane. Someone must like the look of her from the back.

I don’t know if it’s disrespectful. Hague also has his back to the camera in this shot. No one seems concerned about his butt. If you snap Hillary from behind you are going to get curves.
