Dear Mrs. Leader: Media Push 'Raves' for Mrs. Obama's Convention Dress

Insist GOP Wives Need Her Fashion Sense

The fashionistas in the “objective” press displayed their favoritism by boosting Michelle Obama’s convention speech dress and quoted flagrant Michelle-boosters like Kate Betts, who insisted whatever stylishness the Republican women had they owed to the pioneering Mrs. Obama.

On Wednesday, the Associated Press posted a story headlined, “Michelle Obama gets raves for Tracy Reese dress,” and out came the bare-arms worship:

First lady Michelle Obama got rave reviews for the custom-made Tracy Reese pink and copper dress she wore while giving a tribute to her husband at the Democratic National Convention. The sleeveless dress showed off Mrs. Obama's famously toned arms and the length modestly skirted her knees.

The dress also showed off Mrs. Obama’s famously slavish admirers in the press corps. The Washington Post Express tabloid interviewed Reese for Friday’s edition and highlighted in bold text her feelings on the First Lady: “She actually has a sense of personal style, and she’s not bound by first-lady dictates. It’s refreshing....you’re used to them all wearing a red suit.”

Nancy Reagan always looked regal, as did Jackie Kennedy.

Pity they ran out of red dye before they got to the bottom of the dress.

As my late husband would say “She’s so bow-legged, she couldn’t hem a hog up in a ditch.”

She certainly does have a unique stance, doesn't she?

(I can't help it - I detest them both. The mention of their names or the sound of their voices makes my skin crawl.)

The dress was beautiful.

Lucky for the designer Michelle was wearing it instead of Ann Romney, because otherwise we would have just heard how gaudy and expensive it was.

You can put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig.

Yes, she is a sight to hbehold without a $1,500 wig and $1,000 worth of professionally applied putty and paint.

The below quote fits Michelle to a T.
(I "borrowed" it from a post by Freeper 'Capt_Hank')

“Son, I could place her out in my corn field and she would have crows bringing back corn they had stole three years ago.”

It also makes the dress look more appropriate for an evening patio party.

Exactly.

Most telling, the scions of fashion would not tolerate this on a Republican first lady.

I like the fabric although to $4000 I think that the designer could have matched the pattern in the seams. And I guess I’m old fashioned but I’m not fond of the armpit look.

IMHO, most everything she wears has that ‘Zimbabwe Saturday Nite’ look to it.

Ugly is as ugly does. In my opinion, she’s ugly all the way through.

Congratulation to whoever convinced Michelle not to wear her 75 bangle bracelets. Well done!

What is wrong with this dress?

First of all, she is trying to show off her arms. Why, I don't know. Okay, she has arms.

Secondly, she has a pear-shaped body and is bow-legged and this dress greatly emphasizes those points.

Thirdly, this dress is proof that she does not have a professional dressing her, because no professional would have dressed in such a dress for prime time and the most important night of her husband's life. She did not look professional, she looked like she was on vacation and going to a tiki bar with her girlfriends.

Lastly, I am frankly glad she has such lousy taste in clothes, because it makes our gals look very professional and put together.

“Famously toned arms” - Somebody’s got a sense of humor. I’m sorry but most of the styles that she has put forth are exceptionally unappealing to me. I mean, she wears the most downright ugly, odd clothing, and yet, the leftwing media eats that garbage up like it’s a bold fashion statement or something.

she’s not bound by first-lady dictates

So true. No other FLOTUS can do a panty line like Moochelle.
