She’s starting to look like the Michelin Man.

she is oblivious to ladylike decorum with this perpetual stance and legs wide open that she continues to carry about.

FLOTUS needs to have someone record her body movements for her to view as she is not aware nor conscious of her body language.
She is disconnected from the fact that she can’t be her little old Alpha female as she used to be.
This kind of stuff could have been passed off in the Univ of Chicago Hospital workplace but when you are on the world stage everything counts.

She’s a disconnect of her current self and btw,
thanks for reading this post.

I have tried but words escape me. Totally unbelievable anyone in their right mind would pay $450. for a pair of sneakers and then distribute food at a food bank.

It is absolutely idiotic to spend that much on a pair of sneakers. She could have bought Barry some grillz for less!

Only if you spend your own money.

My bet: they were either freebies, or Michelle got a discount. I doubt she paid full freight.

That said, her wearing those things to that photo-op was pretty tacky.

LOL. There is another consideration here. If the Os are accepting freebies, is it in violation of ethics rules that govern gift-giving? Not to mention tax laws since those freebies add up.

Are those grey anklets she has on? If she was going to wear those hideous sneakers she should, at a minimum, have skipped the anklets. They just reinforce the whole ugly look. Perhaps those $540 tennis shoes are uncomfortable as h3ll?

Is there any doubt by anyone, anywhere, how this would be reported if it were a Republican first lady?

The headlines would scream “Queen of Mean”, “Mari Antoinette” etc.

****************

Particularly since they appear to be at least a full size too small.

You’re right. I’m wondering how many “Let them eat cake” moments the dictator and his family will have. Why aren’t Americans recognizing the stunning similarities between these people and dictators world-wide, current and in the past?

Thanks so much for the ping! I love these threads. It's so good to know I'm not alone in thinking this woman has zero taste when the media is telling me 24/7 how "beloved" she is.

Speaking of shoes, does anyone have a photo of those green boots she wore? I wonder how much they cost?

MY DAY AT THE FOOD BANK

By Michelle (Lady Bountiful) Obama

I just got an invitation
"Your presence required today
It's casual - wear clothes from gar-age sales"

This really took the wind from out my sails
I'm actually invited to step out today
In clothes I bought from gar-age sales

So.....I'm dressing down to appear at a food bank
For this I have my photo-opping husband to thank
I get klutzy sneak-ers, he gets stylish swank

Oh, I'm puttin' on my sneak-ers
Mussin' up my hair
Sharpenin' my belt studs
Showin' that I care

Today I'm bein' downscale
Have to fool the masses
I hate the lower-classes
Not one has gone to Yale

Oh, yes, I'm stepping out, my dear
To breathe an atmosphere
Of cheap cologne and beer
And I trust
That you'll excuse my dust
When I finally escape
That rabbly schmear

So, I'm lacin' up my sneak-ers
Smoothin' my capris
Polishin' my nails
For tossin' out the cheese

What a bunch of freakers
I'll need a strong cocktail
Puttin' on my sneak-ers
Oh, I'd rather go to jail........

Leni

I agree 100%. A relative had a formal event to go to several years ago. After the event, the caterers were giving away some of the food. Well, this relative was getting some to take home. This snooty lady came up to her and asked why was she getting strawberries and chocolate from the fountain to take home that she could afford to buy her own. Well, no one and I mean no one messes with this relative. She told this “lady” that her whole outfit including shoes cost a total of $63! That shut her up and she just turned and walked away without saying another word. You can look terrific without spending even $100. How do I know this? She is my granddaughter who turned 21 this week.

Someone needs to follow her around for several weeks like they do on What Not to Wear. It would not do any good though because she thinks she is hot stuff when she is ice cold.
