Michelle Obama: America's Lady Diana? (Slobbering Synchophantic Barf Alert!)
The Sunday London Times ^ | January 25, 2009 | Sarah Baxter

Posted on 01/24/2009 4:02:51 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The First Lady has excited the fashion world, but like Diana she would rather champion the less fortunate than be a mere clotheshorse.

Michelle Obama’s flair for fashion has captivated Washington and set the hearts of glossy magazine editors aflutter. She has already eclipsed Carla Bruni, the super-model chanteuse and wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, the hyperactive French president. Not since Diana, Princess of Wales, has there been such a glamorous role model at the apex of society.

In her white, one-shouldered chiffon gown, she boogied to Stevie Wonder’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours and slow-danced with her husband at a succession of inaugural balls. Barack Obama held her lovingly around the waist, clasping two fingers around her back, and nuzzled her. Women’s Wear Daily, the influential American fashion magazine, said her ball gown made the Obamas look like newlyweds.

By the time they reached the last ball in the marbled hall of Union Station after midnight, “Michelle looked absolutely exhausted but still managed to keep smiling. It was quite an intimate dance – they were either collapsed in each other’s arms or feeling very close to each other,” said another dancer.

Michelle, 45, has a theatrical sense of style, from off-the-rack colourful clothes from J Crew at less than $100 a throw, to pricey designer outfits such as the sparkling lemongrass matching dress and coat that she wore to the inauguration ceremony. But she is determined to carve out a role at the White House that is more than national clothes horse.

Excuse me while I gag. BTW didn't they mean the one-shouldered charmin gown??

BUT, some lucky person can win a replica of that dress.

That article is creepy, full of disinformation and nauseating.

I'm more at ease Michelle being compared to Lady Di because Ozero's father was a British subject. In that sense, UK can have Michelle and the Trojan horse she rode on.

They can’t sell the Jackie O stick; so they are changing to Diana. LOL

So far Michelle hasn't exhibited any of the gold-digging whorishness of a Jackie-O or a Diana but time will tell.

The first lady with her string of "Jackie O" pearls
puts America in mind of the striking similarities
between Jackie Kennedy during her "Camelot" years and
the vivacious, trendy and stylish Michelle Obama who
has already sent world fashion in bold new directions.

Maybe more along the lines of the second wife of President Juan Domingo Peron.

Michellita.

I have to admit, I laughed when I read the headline. Is there no limit to the ass-kissing?

In fact there’s another thread posted much earlier today devoted to Aretha’s turban.

Bwahahahaha! The Brit twit who wrote this must be deaf, dumb, and blind.

For the truth about Michelle’s fashion sense, go to this FReeper thread:

Her license was revoked per court order in 1993.

Previously, you were able to see this documentation but if you click the link noted in news articles from the past, it has been scrubbed. (and the date of admission as a lawyer is listed as Dec 30th 1899) Nice work!

“Barack Obama held her lovingly around the waist, clasping two fingers around her back, and nuzzled her...”...At that point our author swooned in ecstasy, as Michelle’s bodice ripped.. Grr...I feel like I need to take a shower.

Regards,
