The photos only offered us a glimpse. But it was all we needed in order to know that Michelle Obama wore something special to the Governors' Dinner at the White House last night.

Forget the Oscars red carpet, the First Lady's asymmetric gown gave the A-list a serious run for their money.

The pale, cream-coloured gown had a crystal-embellished bodice in a design of leaves and flowers, and a chiffon bow at the shoulder.

Here’s what the governors got:

Garden salad
Bread and butter
Ribeye steak 12 oz
Creamed spinach
Crab mac and cheese
Pear tart with ice cream
White wine

Based on conservative estimates of caloric totals for each of the items that found their way to the governors’ plates, and assuming consumption of a single glass of wine from the bottles that were placed on the tables, the total intake amounted to about 2,250 calories.

Michelle Antoinette shouldn’t have to hang out with fat riff raff. She shouldn’t have to hang out with this riff raff at all, but if she must, at least they should try to slim down with a 2000 calorie dinner. She deserves that much.

First time I’ve seen this wig. It needs a polecat stripe down the side, doesn’t it?

Putting lots of bling on my dogs does not turn them into persian cats.

Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't help things either.

White wine with a rib eye?
How gauche!
GAUCHE. 1. a: lacking social experience or grace.

Way too much skin showing for a first lady.

Just my stuffy opinion.

No Wagyu beef?

Pretty dress, it reminds me a little of an Easter basket. Her under-bite is worse than my Boxers.

Nobody’s said for sure yet who designed the number, but many are speculating that it’s by Jenny Packham.

I wonder whether she felt ANY pride in her country last night?

[fatnotlazy]

I don’t expect any different. The Obamss have less class than the Beverly Hillbillies.
