With Her President-Elect Tweeting A New Daily Conflict & Inauguration Boycott Escalating, Melanie Trump Plans Her 'Glam Room'

Is it possible that America's new First Lady Melania Trump hasn't uttered a word in public since her husband won the presidential election? Call me much too serious about the state of our planet, the strong rise of right-wing political parties worldwide, and women's rights generally.

Still, I sighed to read that this week's news about Melania Trump is that installing a 'glam room' -- her refuge presumably -- is a top priority for Melania Trump.

"There will absolutely be a room designated for hair, makeup and wardrobe," according to Trump's long-time makeup artist Nicole Bryl. "Melania wants a room with the most perfect lighting scenario, which will make our jobs as a creative team that much more efficient, since great lighting can make or break any look," Bryl told US Weekly.

Each makeup session takes "about one hour and 15 minutes of uninterrupted focus. If you want the look to be flawless and have it last (all day long), you do have to take a little extra time to make that happen," Bryl explained, adding "I look forward to seeing what she has decided to wear. It's always a treat to be a part of her impeccable beauty creation."

In her WWD interview, Bryl promises Trump-proportioned fame for Melania, saying:

"One thing I am certain about, Melania's beauty and impeccable taste will become iconic."

It will be interesting to watch Melania Trump move from being a diva to her role as First Lady. She has expressed a desire to be a First Lady in the tradition of Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy. Note that neither First Lady had a glam room, but The Cut chooses to put Melania's priority in a 21st century, selfie-absorbed world context:

If things go as planned, high-school students of the future can look forward to touring such historic spaces as the Lincoln Bedroom, the Roosevelt Room, and, of course, the Melania Trump Glam Room.

It's not as if the Obama's didn't want changes made when they moved into the White House. President Obama hated his shower head and had a waterfall one installed. Invigorated by his win with the preservation committee that oversees any changes to the White House's public spaces or historic guest suites, Obama pressed and won his basketball court. President Ford built an outdoor swimming pool and Nixon added a bowling alley.

In discussing Melania Trump's new glam room, Vogue says it best:

"Here’s hoping that following her blowout, Melania Trump will be ready to roll up her sleeves and put her freshly manicured fingers to work."

Or how about The Cut's conclusion from their discussion of Melania's glam room last Friday, Jan. 13th:

"Only one week until we Make America Glam Again."
