TIL about the “Mar-a-Lago face” a bold plastic surgery and fashion trend popular among American conservative and Republican circles. It’s characterized by “detectable” facial modifications, including exaggerated Botox, visible fillers, extreme tanning, fake eyelashes, dark smokey eyes, and full lips. The look is often seen as a status symbol and a way to signal political allegiance, inspired by figures in Donald Trump’s inner circle. The trend is so distinctive that it’s been described as a “visual shorthand” for wealth, power, and identity within these groups.
I’m all for it. I get it. They don’t want to put a giant Nazi sign on their face.
Then that plastic face look is the next best thing so we know what you are.
I for one support their right to gender-affirming surgery.
there already is very little distinction between gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia, and now to add onto that there is also politica fascistica and body stultitia
Is that like “resting fascist face” or sth?
It’s like straight out of American Psycho.
Huh. And here, as a Canadian, I just always wondered why the most obnoxious Americans I’ve ever met had such gigantic heads.
I guess I just thought it was all the bovine growth hormones or something…
Is there anyone finding it pretty looking? Besides Trump of course.
Looks wierd
It makes fitting the reptilian natural face into a human mask easier.
“Mar-a-Lago face describes a plastic surgery and fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women”
First fucking picture is Matt Gaetz, does that mean he’s (she’s?) transgender?
Is that why noem looks like that?
This is why I think trump had mild stroke followed by a quick surgery to hide the effect.
Melinda Anna Farina, an aesthetic consultant, identified the Mar-a-Lago face as attempting to emulate the appearance of Eastern European women.[2]
Matt Gaetz is very poorly attempting to emulate the appearance of an Eastern European woman.
Gaetz face is s classic pedophile profile.
I had almost forgotten about that pedophile. Almost.
90,000 dollars to butcher your own face so that Trumpists will know that you’re a Trumpist.
It’s like every single day I encounter something and I’m like, “Well, it can’t really get any stupider than that.” And like every single day I am astonished at how stupid things can get.
Noem, karolina leavitt, (KIMBERLY gullifoyle, is the final stage of mar-a-lago face of republican women). loomer is like 32, and leavitt is like 28 only.
In my day we’d just dye our fringe blue and have an earnest belief in human rights.
That article needs more before-and-after photos

At first glance in the top picture I thought they were wearing “The Purge” masks, lmao jfc
Perhaps if one wears the mask long enough, the features transfer to their face:
Tnx, good link!
From ‘normal’ to " abhorrently ugly".
At least they are now easy to spot and forever identifiable.
It’s like the inverse of the lizard people conspiracy theory.
“Welp, time to get into politics. Better go lizard up.”
Lizards as in reptilians. It’s become a bit of self fulfilling prophesy.
Snakes and the likes have a peculiar reptilian smell, iirc…
You made me laugh, tnx. But now I’ll stop thinking of other weird things to say…
It’d explain why they’re cold-blooded. Remember the whole thing about eating bugs as a meat substitute? If I told you Trump was molting, wouldn’t it make a strange amount of sense?
ted cruz goes to a tropical country to shed his skin.
/c/maralagolizards would be a pretty good community name
Be the change you want to see in the world.
At least they are now easy to spot and forever identifiable.
Yeah, that scene exactly. 10/10 points.
They look like titans from Attack on Titan after
actually mostly the smiling titan, dina fritz. laura loomer most represent her.
Spot on.
Ok, but… Is there really much of a difference between this and “normal candid photo/awkwardly-timed candid photo” pairs here? I’m sure if people were taking photos of me everywhere I went I’d have some faces like that and I don’t want to have anything to do with those people.
That’s a fair point, these might be exaggerated to garner attention. Having said that, my lips don’t randomly swell like they’ve been stung by a bee, so there’s definitely a strong element of cosmetic surgery going on here.
Would you like to see Amber Ruffin cackling?
