Five myths about Michelle Obama (Challenging everything you think you know)
Washington Post ^ | January 12, 2014 | Robin Givhan

Posted on 01/12/2014 4:53:30 AM PST by Zakeet

Michelle Obama entered the White House as a chimera. To some, she was emblematic of fully realized African American womanhood and an incomparable fashion icon. To others, she was the voice of racial grievance, the nanny state and Seventh Avenue vanity. She has proved herself to be neither vengeful nor the patron saint of activist feminism. Yet misperceptions linger. So as she celebrates her 50th birthday, here are a few facts in the face of persistent fictions.

1. Michelle Obama is the most fashion-friendly first lady.

2. She is a food tyrant of Bloombergian intolerance.

[Snip]

3. Her legacy will be Let’s Move or Joining Forces.

[Snip]

4. She hates Princeton.

[Snip]

5. She represents an unusual success story.

Her and her husband are two of the most disgraceful people ever, for many reasons. I’m going to stop before I get banned.

I was shocked to read that she has made several Best Dressed lists. Some of her outfits have been beautiful but I think, left to her own devices, this is how she prefers to dress. I’m surprised she hasn’t had the WH painted orange.

We may never know how much influence she holds behind the scenes on her metrosexual Hussein.

And why oh why is her mother still in the white hut? Classless leeches

She could wear a burlap bag and I couldn't care less. She could be the most hideous looking woman and I wouldn't care. The problem I have with her is that she is a huge liberal and a food Nazi and that is what I care about.

Some common tailoring and dressmaking could do wonders for the First Lady.

For example:

There is NO reason to have bra lines or pantie lines showing under her clothing.
Having a hemlines dragging from the back under her coat.
Ditto for the wrinkle lines along the thighs of pants that are too tight in some spots but too loose in others.
Someone of her position should not be wearing a blouse so thin that the bra shows through.
Then there are the fat “back boobs” that roll over the top of a too tight bodice.

The following are the etiquette mistakes:

No! It is NOT appropriate to wear a red cocktail dress to the ceremony awarding a posthumous Medal of Honor.

No! It is NOT appropriate to wear a bright turquoise dress and coat to a Veterans Day service at the tomb of the unknown soldier. Gee! Even Nancy Pelosi had the decency to to wear black.

Michele Obama has access to the most respected fashion consultant and protocol people of the world. And...There are many talented seamstresses and tailors in Washington that would be delighted to give her a hand. She should also learn that everything is not always about her.

Sooo, the WP admits she is classless, clueless, undisciplined and without enduring merit. Nice job there. Only need to RBTL to get the truth from these scribes.

Can’t agree with you. She has no sense of style.

” cause she is definitely the most fashion-friendly first lady!”

Especially when she is carrying the laundry on her head.

OK, let’s test the waters.

Put her up against Laura Bush, one on one to see who is the more classy. IMO Laura Bush would win that hands down.

Mooochelle on the other hand looks like she BELONGS in Africa.
