This is a re-posting of something a good friend posted — I think it deserves wider exposure. Jerry, the source if this, traveled internationally on business including many trips to Russia.

"Friends - I have come into possession of the photo below, taken in Moscow, Russia this past week. It is not a fake photo, because I am aware of who took it, and how it was sent to me to translate. It's a huge billboard on the side of a building advertising an upcoming seminar in Moscow, to be conducted by John Gray. He's the author who wrote "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", as well as 17 other books. The Seminar is titled "Men and Women in Business". It advertises the site for buying tickets: www.johngray.ru.
This is all perfectly legitimate, and this is NOT Russia bashing on my part. I'm the last person to do that - I study Russian language and culture.
HOWEVER, the full length photo on the left of the billboard happens to be First Lady Melania Trump. Underneath her photo it says "Melania's Choice". In full disclosure, neither the person who took the photo, nor do I, know if they are using her image with permission. Obviously, if they are, this is big time trouble for the Administration - a commercial endorsement by the First Lady for a paid seminar is at the very least, troubling.
The photo has been shared with some members of the Media."
