I love this pic!

1. I like their blue outfits.

I am colorblind.

[ChazInAz]

2. To quote George Takei

"OH myyy..."
I adored Psaki because redhead, but I'd never seen the rest of the crew!

[PatSeg]

7. I recognize the girl to the right of Psaki

She was an MSNBC contributor for many years, Karine Jean-Pierre. Very smart lady.

[niyad]

8. Woman, not girl.

[PatSeg]

10. Sorry, I'm old and to me

she is a "girl". No offense intended. All things are relative.

[duhneece]

11. I try but I still tell my husband I'm going to lunch

…with the girls.

[PatSeg]

15. Yes, rather like when the men

say I'm going out for a beer with "the boys" or "the guys". A lot depends on context and intent. Meanwhile, we cannot please everyone, all the time. Personally, I am not about to tell other people what words they should or shouldn't use. It has a way of shutting down any meaningful conversation.

[twodogsbarking]

19. Where I live "you guys" can also mean women.

Also, yoons guys.

[PatSeg]

23. Oh yes, same here

God, I wonder if THAT offends someone!

[elleng]

28. We're all 'guys' around here!!!

[PatSeg]

30. I can hear Rita Moreno in my head

yelling, "Hey you guys!" I watched a lot of Electric Company with the kids when they were young.

[usedtobedemgurl]

47. It does!!!

I was a waitress a lifetime ago. I greeted tables, asking how you guys were today. One woman sharply spoke up and corrected me as to ghee gender!!!!

[PatSeg]

49. But of course, sigh

It would seem that no matter what one says, someone is bound to take offense.

Meanwhile, "you guys" has not been a gender specific phrase for decades.

[calimary]

17. Yeah. I'm actually going to lunch with "the girls" later today.

Two of my Indivisible pals. But first, they want to see the kittens.

[PatSeg]

24. It really does depend on one's intention

When we refer to our friends or acquaintances as "girls", it is more about camaraderie and is not meant to be demeaning or insulting.

Kittens? How old are they?

[calimary]

26. Roughly three-and-a-half months.

They don’t look so little anymore.

[PatSeg]

29. How many are there?

Do they have prospective homes to go to yet? I've rarely seen anything quite as entertaining as a bunch of kittens.

[3catwoman3]

31. "I've rarely seen anything quite as entertaining...

…as a bunch of kittens.”

That’s because there isn’t anything as entertaining as a bunch of kittens -

[PatSeg]

36. There is always something to look forward to

[DENVERPOPS]

44. On a scale of one to a million.........

As Dems are walking down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, they are oblivious to the herd of stampeding elephants......

A lot of ladies that I talk to who are over fifty, appreciate me calling them girls.......

[PatSeg]

50. Brilliant visual!

I am going to store that one away for the next time someone nitpicks about superficial things.

[DENVERPOPS]

51. Thx

The herd of "ELEPHANTS" makes it perfect, don't you think??????LOL

[PatSeg]

53. Oh yes, absolutely

[AllaN01Bear]

3. ohm myyy.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. Do they not look like America? Yes. Imagine that same crew under Dump.

All white, blonde, hateful.

[Unwind Your Mind]

13. I also like the variety of dress

Several wearing pants, all in shoes you could jog down a hallway in.

As a woman who has been dressing for the office since the late 80’s it says something to me that they don’t look like they’re wearing a uniform. They have individuality I guess.

[calimary]

18. And plastic-looking.

[Wounded Bear]

5. K & R...nt

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Does this mean purple is a universal Republican irritant?

[Probatim]

9. I feel hopeful just looking at that photo.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Wow.

What a fantastic pic!!!!

WTG Team!!!

[Irish_Dem]

14. Purple is a hard color to wear for a red head, but she has exact right shade for it to look fabulous

(I am from a family of red heads.)

[2naSalit]

33. I was noticing that too.

Redheads have a serious color issue with certain shades. Everyone has a tone that works for them, she seems to have a good sense about that or a great fashion consultant (which I would most certainly need).

[Irish_Dem]

35. With redheads, we usually have the very pale skin with freckles thing going on.....

And it is so easy to look like Casper the ghost or just a kid.
And then a lot of colors are not flattering or outright clash with the hair.

Early on Jen wore some colors that did not do her any favors on camera.
But she probably got a stylist because she has been making much better fashion choices.

You can see in this picture her dress looks recently hemmed without being pressed, so I assume her stylist did that last minute to make sure the dress length went with the boots. I probably would have worn heels with this dress, but since she is usually on camera only from the waist up, maybe the stylist doesn't worry about shoes.

[Pacifist Patriot]

39. As a ginger, I have found it is not that difficult if you do one thing...

Go with purples that lean towards the blue cool side of the spectrum. Avoid the purples that lean towards the red warm side of the spectrum.

Ooooo wait a minute. I see a touch of symbolism in that.

But no. Seriously. Blue tone purples work great for me (typical pale skin-green/hazel-freckled ginger here) and red tone purples make me look like I'm about to puke.

[Irish_Dem]

40. I am pale skin/ red head/ green eyes/ freckles too, but the blue tones make me look like a cadaver.

I need warm tones to look like I still have a heart beat.

So if I go with the warm tones, I will be OK.

My skin is very pale with gold/pink undertones....

I am classified as a Spring if you are familiar with that schemata.
You sound more like a Summer with blue undertones...

[soldierant]

42. Interesting, because Springs aree supposed to

lean to periwinkle, wich is quite blue with only a lhint of red.

I am a Summer and would look terrible as a redhead no matter what I were to wear. Very fair, purple undertones, blonde (now silver) hair, blue (actually more gray than blue but my Dad wanted a girl with blue eyes, so that's what I was always told I had) eyes.

The ones with straight blue undertones are usually Winters, but there is a little overlap.

[Irish_Dem]

43. Periwinkle is one of my favorite colors and the only blue I wear well.

It needs to be a warm periwinkle with some gold or pink in it...
The key is that the color has to be warm, not cool.

Oh I have always been jealous of summers, their colors are classic and readily available...
You can wear blues...... and the blond hair/ blue eyes is such a classic American beauty.

[soldierant]

52. I love my colors and would never want to be anything else, but i would point out

that peach and camel are also pretty classic colors.

My mother (who died in 2000) was a spring, and once we ficured that out, I used to love picking colors and knitting fr her.

[Irish_Dem]

54. Same here

I love being a spring, and love the colors.

That is so neat that your mom was a spring. That is great you made clothing for her.
Because the colors are hard to find usually.

[packman]

16. Looking good

[George II]

20. Badass staff!

[jmowreader]

21. The one standing next to the columns...

…looks like she was chosen for her desire to kill and eat OANN, Newsmax and Fox News reporters.

[iluvtennis]

22. The diversity in the Biden admin is so heartwarming and refreshing - you go gurls!! n/t

[CTyankee]

25. That is so nice! I have a grandchild who is transitioning at present and she is lucky to be in a

community in Hollywood that is welcoming and happy for her. It shows the importance for those kids, particularly, who are finding their true selves in late puberty, to have a supportive community in their homes, schools and relationships within their families.

[NBachers]

27. My heart smiles with this picture.

[Hekate]

32. "Fierce & fabulous" -- that pic makes me smile

[onetexan]

45. +1 -K&R

[LakeArenal]

34. Love love. 💜💜☮️

[llmart]

37. This picture makes me happy.

It's so refreshing instead of the all white, men in suits and ties on the GOP side (for the most part). This truly is America and what it stands for.

I'll wager a bet that a picture like this just irritates the hell out of GOP men (and some women too, but mostly the men).

[Pacifist Patriot]

38. We gingers can rock the heck out of the right shade of purple.

Just sayin'

[Blue Owl]

41. K&R

Lookin' good, ladies!!!

[twodogsbarking]

46. Great smiles.

[CommonHumanity]

48. Real!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO SISTERS!

As a woman, it does my heart good - SO MUCH GOOD - to see these real healthy looking women as opposed to the silicone, plastic, overly made-up, lip-fillered, fake eyelashed, short-skirted barbie doll style women in the TFG's administration. Real women forever and ever and ever!
