notice how her end of the rope stretches out straight behind her instead of dangling down like Fallon's end.

They're obviously just playing anyway. Very little real pulling going on there.

But I have to say that she handles and carries herself well whether she's attending a formal function, planting veggies, or doing something fun and/or funny like this or when she did push-ups on Ellen Degeneres' show. She doesn't lose her dignity, but she also doesn't come across as unapproachable.
