Yahoo News ^ | CATRINA STEWART

MOSCOW – Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.

But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.

But when questioned about the U.S. first lady, Doletskaya becomes lively. She describes Michelle's style as "very fresh," as someone who mixes boldly "but in a very refined way."

I love how the media continually tries to portray Michelle as the next Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Is that like saying or describing a flower as being beautiful despite the over-abundance of thorns being attached to said flower?

"Refined???"

This is a classic demonstration of how the media can dupe the sheeple.

LOL! Her taste is horrendous and the media is foolish enough to think that we(women)would buy into that crap.

Well, maybe liberal women are stupid enough to...

I can't believe I'm hesitating to sew my own clothes again after taking a break for 2 decades.

I've been fearful that the results would look too homemade.

No because a rose is a rose. Michelle on the other hand -— well she is not my belle. Her fashion sense is lacking. The fact that the US ‘news’ media thinks it is glorious just makes me cringe

What kind of drugs are they using that make them think Big Mo is anything but a giant fashion mistake?

The woman (well, sort of) is graceless, moves like an elephant in the brush, and must be legally blind or she would never wear the colors that she does, which make her already muddy skin color look like dirt. But I suspect it’s all a reflection of her inner ugliness.
