Enough already with the arm exposure, save it for formal events and warm weather. Is she going to start wearing sleeveless winter coats?

I agree. Her ‘prom’ dress was not appropriate for the inauguration. I didn’t feel that she didn’t know better; I believe she didn’t care. I think she wanted the night that Americans take to celebrate/welcome a new president to be about her status climbing - and so she wore a debutante dress to say I have ARRIVED!

She has well toned arms, yes. But she will wear sleeveless fashion in cold weather because she couldn’t quite face going to that non-state-of-the-union address without being singled out for particular attention for her arms! I believe she could be stately in the right clothing and with a little coaching, and that is more than I can say for myself. But stately isn’t enough attention for her. She thinks public events are about her or should be about her personally- even if it’s her husbands speech.
You know - that seems like it’s kind of ‘it’; she is trying to compete with Obama for prestige and attention. At present, she is employing her ‘style’ because it worked for Jackie Onassis. I keep reading that ‘people are comparing her to Jackie’ but no one ever admits that the comparison is unfavorable.

She is showing her arms to take the focus of her bowed legs

They say she has a pretty face. Maybe; but take the lighting and makeup away and let’s see what we have. LOL

Laura Bush is one of the most well bred ladies in the United States.

Tight skirt - nice way of saying ‘fat a*s’.

Why isn’t she being “rode hard and put away wet” like Sarah Palin was for clothes SHE GAVE BACK! This should be shoved in the face of every “journalist”, commentator, and bloviator at the alphabet networks! They need to back up their assertion that they are unbiased, because the only people who believe that is themselves!

Please! This is not an attractive woman. Her pride makes her uglier than sin.

At least it looks good on Michelle, unlike trailer park trash like Sarah Palin.”

&&&
Yeah, Michelle is such a looker. The only thing that would look good on her would be a burka. Palin is so beautiful that she could not look bad even if she tried.

Also, Bush knows how many states are in the union.

Somebody stole the sleeves from her dress.

&&&
Oh, I can see the similarities. Jackie was also a shallow status seeker, and the press worked very hard at giving her much undeserved favorable ink.

".............Michelle Obama'has taken a particular interest in showcasing the work of young up-and-coming designers who have chosen fashion as their path and who are artists in their own right and who are introduced at places like Fashion Week'.........."

The major designers worn by Michelle are hardly up and coming....Herrera, Karan and Jacobs

This is a good article....well written....exposes the Obamas for the fascist,white-hating elitists they truly are.

Maybe she will send her hand me downs to Obama's poor relatives in Kenya, if she is assured a photo op.

Michelle may be a beautiful lady, but she has an air of tragedy about her.

I'd prefer Vera Baker anyday.

She’s not so much “dressed” as “draped”.
