When the first family arrived at the Senghor International Airport in Senegal to kick off their tour, first lady Michelle arrived wearing a $1,295 designer dress. It goes right along with the trip's $100m price tag

Isn’t $1,295 Senegal’s GNP?

That’s a $1295 designer dress?

I’ve seen better on the clearance rack at K-Mart.

It looks like she tripped, fell, and rolled around in some soot that caused smudges all over the dress.

When I see the first couple all tricked out like this and giving/attending extravagant events...I remember reading about the coronation (yes, coronation) of Napoleon I.

He forced his generals and Marshals of the Empire to attend in full court regalia... many of whom began their careers as (and SOME of whom remained) staunch Republicans.

I believe it was Marshal Ney who said out loud: ‘Two million people died to put an end to this s%$#”

Looks like something one would wear on Halloween.

I am not dress conscious, and don’t know one designer from another, but that is one ugly dress!

I found my throw rug!!!

“but that is one ugly dress”

You could’ve said “BUTT-ugly dress” and been more accurate.

Isn’t $1,295 Senegal’s GNP?

Close.

The GDP per capita of Senegal is $1,096 according to Global Property Guide.

Don’t worry about it Bubblegummer. Go back to trolling the elementary school hallways.

You have to love the symmetry.

The poor woman’s and her prison-garb. How humiliating it must be for Mrs. Great Leader.

[molson209]

I still say her dress designers are blind

[Kenny Bunk]

BTW, WTF is with the Reggie-Barry-GW-Michelle-Laura $100Million African Adventure Tour and Lovefest?
Does GW really think that preaching Gay Marriage and Global Warming to Africans is a worthy use of his retirement time?

[Buckeye McFrog]

I wonder what the per capita income in Senegal is these days.

According to UN figures, just a smidge above a thousand bucks a year U.S.

[Kenny Bunk]

Pan-African Ping

[SMARTY]

Nah... they are just cashing in or the lack of refinement of SOME women.

I always say fashion is the industry that markets ‘style’ to women who have none of their OWN.

Do you know HOW hopelessly stupid, ill-bred and laughably insecure you have to BE to want and WEAR a $2700 garment that looks like a rag?

[Albion Wilde]

As opposed to the absolute crap outfits she and her daughters wore in Ireland. This is a family that has perfected the art of sticking it in people’s eye.

He's following in the steps of 'brother' BJ in hopes it will improve his after-presidency image on the world stage.

His judgement regarding many things were questionable.
