Michelle Obama, the most glamorous of all U.S. First Ladies, dazzled the crowd at a DNC fundraiser Tuesday night wearing over $42,000 worth of diamond bracelets ($42,150 to be precise). Designed by Katie Decker, a 23-year-old Texas-based jeweller, the First Lady dropped a few dimes on some serious bling:
(Daily Mail) - The First Lady, 47, chose to wear Miss Decker's Lotus cuff, with 2.9 carats of diamonds, costing $15,000, the Gothic cuff with 2.17 carats of diamonds, costing $15,350, and the $11,800 Quatrefoil bracelet with 1.73 carats of diamonds to the Gotham Hall event.
Damn, for that kind of money - and all the publicity Ms. Decker is about to receive - the Obama's better hope they will be getting a little kickback for Barack's 2012 campaign. Just look at that endorsement:
She might as well change her name to Simon Cowell and slightly turn her hand every time she takes a sip of Coca-Cola (Ahem, I mean Pepsi).
LOLOLOL!

I love that! Well done!
In the film industry this is called Product Placement.
“I’m Hip”, “In with the In Crowd”, use ALL the latest terminology like “Bling”, “Optics”...
“Absolutely!”
“Right On, Right On, Right On”...
(no, 23 skidoo was WAY before my time!)
for you young whipper-snappers, that’s pronounced “Skid-ooo”, not Ski-Do, as in Jet Ski.

I love satire.
Ii stopped reading after that line.
I agree. There is plenty she has done to criticize. We don’t need to manufacture scandals.
First Lady Michelle Obama steps out in Lanvin sneakers and they’re only $540!
Michelle Obama has taken casual to a haute new level.
While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.
Reparations.
Gettin paid.
Flaunting.
These people don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves.
It’s just who they are.
Wonder what the po folks who voted for this dictator are thinking now? Their wonderkid put them all out of work and is flashing his wealth. While at the same time demonizing the wealthy. Hey kenya boy, take a look in the mirror sometime.
AP story posted on Drudge.
Many up and coming and wannabe and the famous and infamous designers provide items in this manner.
For the FLOTUS to wear a particular designed dress or piece of jewelry...the advertising is such that cannot be bought.
A common practice, both with the FLOTUS and with much of the so-called "A" list celebrities.
I believe even the European royalty has done so.
Can I ask a question? And I’m serious about this.
Do you really give a frip about the jewelry Michelle wears? Do you really, really care? If so, WHY?
The bracelets still could have been purchased.
The article does not state that this designer let Michelle borrow the jewelry.
We will never know the truth.
She’s still ugly.
This woman is completely tone deaf.
Yes! I care enough to mock the wife of the man who is spending us into oblivion.
Rule number 1: don’t be opulent during a bad economy. Rule #2 don’t be fat and tell Resturaunts to reduce their portion size.
Otherwise, she is fair game or else stay out of the spotlight first Wookie!
No diamonds in the world would ever make Magilla Gorilla look glamourous!!!!!
Very well said.........
Good to see where that Soylendra cash went.
next you will see Obama with a Cadillac Deville with spinners and a big boom box in the trunk.
