I’m glad when they’ve done bone density tests on me I have nice dense bones. It would be terrible to shrink more than I already am!

[maggief]

They are indeed!

[brytlea]

Putting together the gifts and the inappropriate clothing (which is inexcusable since she has *people* who know exact protocol) I'm beginning to wonder if it's more of an intentional dis. Remember, her husband's comeback... “I won!”

[brytlea]

LOL I think if I were First Lady I would go back and see how Jackie Kennedy dressed for various occasions and follow her lead. I suspect her outfits were always appropriate AND she had a great sense of style (I would love to see the little pillbox hats come back!)

[Batman11]

Bahahaha! I haven’t seen someone get boxed out like that since Charles Barkley’s big ole butt was still in the NBA!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

“Trademark Pearls” haha because no other first lady has ever worn pearls.

"At least it's not just Michelle"

ACCKKK!! Where's Mr. Blackwell when you need him!!

[GOP_Lady]

A very good fashion article.

I encourage every Freeper fasionista to read it.

THANKS!

Don't people realize how bad they look? And don't they have friends or aides who will be honest with them about their clothing picks?

Yep. It's most important in the years leading up to, during and after menopause to eat plenty of calcium, do weight-bearing exercise and, if necessary, take Actonel, Boniva or Fosamax. There is even a generic Fosamax now that is enormously less expensive. The calcium and exercise are more effective than the medication.

Mrs. Brown's suit is waaaay tooo tight.

Mrs. 0bama looks hideous in that sweater.

Once again, a classy jacket would be appropriate

[Neverforget01]

I think I just figured out the sweater with the buttons in the front and the weird velcro in the back: it must be a four piece sweater set where one can mix and match arms!

[dead]

[tiredoflaundry]

Another sweater???? My goodness!

[happygrl]

What is noticable is that Micheele is the only one, with the exception of the sari-wearing lady, who is not wearing a jacket.

Michelle does not understand the concept of "serious" clothes.

Actually, with the exception of the long scarf hanging on the lady on the left, I think the rest look well-put together in their suits and tailored dresses.

[Albion Wilde]

Meet Ikram Goldman - the woman with the keys to Michelle Obama’s closet... The Israeli-born Goldman, whose Rush St. shop is a mecca for Chicago’s best-dressed set, stands poised to become one of the most powerful players in the fashion industry worldwide....

OMG. This explains a lot.... That tent she is wearing is a Lanvin -- with black leg warmers! Lord, have mercy! The only good that can come of this is that maybe she will influence the Obamas to protect Israel.

[spectre]

Is this the same Michelle Obama who is hailed among People and Vogue magazines as one of the top 10 best dressed celebs?

Where's Blackwell when we need him?

[maggief]

A sequined, color-block argyle one at that, and for the Royal Opera House.

She ain’t no Jackie O or Lady Di by any stretch ... more Elly Mae.

[Albion Wilde]

Isn't the hand over the head a Welsh sign of impending death?

Couldn't find that one... but if seagulls fly over a Welsh person's head, watch out.
