Do get a different beautician, dear
The Prime Minister's skin colour seems alarmingly to change by the day. One minute he's chalky white, fuelling the speculation that he's at death's door. Then he turns up at his press conference glowing with a deep tan. The tell-tale streaks give it away. As Ann Treneman writes in the Times: 'Surely it is now time for new Labour to start its very own brand of cosmetics. I, for one, would be willing to queue for a tub of Peter Hain Golden Glow'. Hmmnn, yes: how about 'Blair's Blusher' for those shameless moments; or 'Without-Foundation' foundation for those claims of improvement in health or education. Posted by melanie at December 3, 2003

Dear Melanie, My wife uses something called Redken Extreme. Should I be worried about this? Posted by: Guessedworker at December 3, 2003 11:50 AMIs this possibly a result of his heart condition? Posted by: Discoverer at December 3, 2003 11:59 AMI liked him best when interviewed about the Ecclestine Affair - all rouged up he said "I'm a pretty straight sort of a guy" - and I thought that about said it all Posted by: John of Gaunt at December 3, 2003 12:45 PMYou see how different we are!? The Americans loved Reagan "all rouged up" with glistening brown hair and the Euros seemed to love him too. Frankly, a lot of the English could use a bit of rouge. Must be the food. ;-) Odd that London is considered the gastronomic capital of Europe these days. Perhaps he needs to eat out more? I recommend Prawns Vindaloo for instant colour. Actually, be thankful that Blair doesn't have a potato face like Schröder. Neither rouge nor hair-dye will help that. Lili Posted by: at December 3, 2003 02:52 PMWho cares what Blair looks like? This catty posting is unworthy of Melanie. What's wrong with looking "too white" anyways? (Or "too black"?) Has anybody ever noticed how ironic it is that whites often try to look more "colored" and non-whites often try to look more "white"? Skin-bleaching creams for non-whites and tanning beds for whites. What a nutty world we live in. Why can't we all be happy with what we've got? Posted by: Susan at December 3, 2003 06:34 PM"Why can't we all be happy with what we've got?" Because, Susan, it goes against Nature. Even animals preen. They "prettiest" one with the best dance gets the mate. ;-) I'm all for a prez next time who does not resemble a simian at every photo-op. Lili Well, if that's your preference, Lilith, then you should be getting ready to ditch Abe Lincoln's portrait from your pocket change. He looked more like a simian than G. Dubya. Posted by: Susan at December 3, 2003 09:50 PMAh, but you see, Susan, the difference is that Lincoln could think and express himself eloquently, whereas the simian Doppelganger cannot do so out of a paper-bag. I don't know about you, but I'll take an ugly guy who can think any day. But, an ugly dude who can't think isn't worth spit! Lili They're concerned Blair might have circulatory problems...still we'll find out after he steps down which cannot be far off now.....6 years is about the limit. Posted by: Trace at December 4, 2003 10:00 AMIt;s TV makeup. The lights make it run a bit. It's not in the least unusual for any celeb or politico to wear it when being klieged by the media. Naturally, he wouldn't wear it to walk around in. Posted by: Dave F at December 5, 2003 11:44 AM"Naturally, he wouldn't wear it to walk around in" I believe that is just the point, and why the media commented ! Wearing it in the House of Commons makes him unique - rosy cheeks ! Posted by: Trace at December 5, 2003 12:23 PMWoaw Melanie!! This is a little beneath you! You are surely not implying that our dear, beloved PM cynically uses different shades of blusher as part of his personal spin strategy so as to encourage sympathy among viewers? Hehehee..
