Michelle Obama's Abbey outfit: stacked like a wedding cake – but nice colours

Wow, look at her go. Michelle Obama, who was in London on a short sightseeing trip with her daughters, didn’t let the small issue of a failing government stand in the way of her sunny style.

While the men around her look to be in mourning, Mrs O stands out like a beacon against the night sky. Ok, the appliquéd tunic has the air of Malia or Sasha’s art class about it and sure, it does nothing for her hips – all that extra fluff and detail around the middle adds bulk to her usually smooth lines. But when did looking trim become part of a visit to Westminster Abbey?

I like the cake reference. Headline should read ...

Looks like a “slutty flight attendant” to me. (My appologies to all flight attendants... I’m just quoting the Letterman freak)

Looks like something a Sesame Street teacher would wear at 6:00 in the morning.

Don’t ya know, he’s COOL!
What a disgrace.

Is that photoshopped?

[maggief]

LOL ... may I suggest exchanging the cute pup for this one.

It has to be. No way could her calves and thighs have doubled this quick.

What the hell is the WH chef feeding her?

ROFLMAO!

As we learned from the Clinton experience...”money don’t buy class”

Whats up with the psychedelic bumble bee outfit MO? Hey wear that stuff at the backyard BBQ. Very garish apparel worn as the First Lady visiting another country. Severe lack of insightfulness but this is just another example of the dreadful tripe America has elected.

PS. Is that Ralph Nader in the red tie?

I bet you wouldn’t say that to her face! She looks like the type that could slap you clear into next week!

But gawd, it is ugly!

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Thanks for a good laugh. Those were some silly skits.

I think it is...the dress is something Michele wouldn’t be caught dead in.

Tub load of mashed potatoes, side of beef, two gallons of ice cream — and that’s just for lunch.
