The most recognizable woman in the world routinely ducks reporters to have what she calls a "normal" life. Hiding beneath a baseball cap, the first lady of the United States has picked through sale racks in the frenetic Tysons Corner, Va., mall with girlfriends, bought supplies for her dog at Petco using her own credit card, and dined at some of D.C.'s hippest eateries largely unrecognized.

Oy - please make it stop. This couple has to be the most graceless couple since the Carters, at a minimum.

There are no photos of her in her incognito role so don’t even go to the link.

How tall is she anyway?

Tysons?

There are plenty of people there that work in ‘sensitive’ areas... they understand the situation.

It’s not Hollywood. Celebrity doesn’t matter, or at least didn’t.

Of course, the main reason she can shop without being bothered... most people in NoVA try to avoid failure like the plaque

Perhaps well-mannered folk are simply averting their eyes from this train wreck of a FLOTUS.

Al baby ping!

A “baseball cap”? If she wants to hide from the plebes, she’d look great in one of these - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_helmet

I enjoyed reading the comments at the end of the article. Not one positive comment!

She is not America’s Sweetheart, that’s for sure!

Liberals always seem to need fifty thousand words to convince people of the merit of a particular person or idea.

Authentic things do not require such wordiness.

Reading the comments was encouraging. The ratio of those who believe both Michelle and Barack are greedy America haters to those who are die-hard Obama sycophants is about 20 to 1.

She can hide the face but not the other end. At four axe handles wide it can’t be missed. Talk about a wide stance.
