Many celebrities wear clothes and jewels on loan from designers. It is a form of advertising for the designers, whether it be clothing or jewels.

Michelle Obama may not own those bracelets. They may only have been loaned to her.

Her husband should be wearing some ‘’bling’’ as well.......they are called handcuffs

SUV's may cause glowbull whining as they have told us as well but until someone asks the obvious question of her willingness to adorn herslf as the Queen in these times, we must make assumptions to drive the asking of the question.

Either way, it just adds to her now credible image of Moochelle Antoinette.

a loan is something of value and should be treated as such

what would the IRS do to you or me?

We’ll know soon. If they’re not on loan, she’ll be flaunting them in our faces every chance she gets.

You’re right. I’m sure they are on loan. Standard practice for celebrities. Although, I do keep hearing the aria “Glitter and be Gay” everytime I see that woman decked out while half a million people are thrown out of work.

Wearing bracelets that cost in the thousands, even "on loan," is not a particularly smart move considering the state of the current economy, particularly when the state of the economy is more and more being attached to her husband's name.

Michelle Obama is not a "celebrity," she is the First Lady. The celebrities who typically wear the borrowed jewelry aren't married to the guy who seems to be constantly telling us that we are all going to have to "sacrifice" and who talks about "the rich."

She's already been criticized for taking extravagant vacations,wearing the expensive shoes and clothes, eating and drinking well and expensively while so many people in the country are out of work, having homes foreclosed, can't afford vacations, and are otherwise having difficulties making ends meet.

It just plain "looks bad" and you'd think someone in the White House would tell her clearly that she needs to rein herself in and cool it with the conspicuous consumption and self-indulgence, if she has any interest in her husband being re-elected.

Of course, maybe she's not interested in that.
