'Fashion Critic' or Fan Girl? Givhan Won't Critique Michelle Obama

obin Givhan, as our Tim Graham described her last year, is "the liberal political columnist who plays fashion writer at The Washington Post." As Graham earlier observed, Givhan is "best known to many as Michelle Obama's worshipful accessory to fashion."

And so—as you might expect—in her column this week, Givhan was unwilling to criticize the, shall-we-say, controversial fashion choices that Michelle Obama made for her book-tour appearance with Sarah Jessica Parker earlier this week.

Have a gander and judge for yourself Michelle's ensemble of "a full-length, draped, shimmery yellow shirt dress with a pair of gold, holographic thigh-high boots." ,/B>You might say that Givhan tiptoed around Michelle's boots.

Good Lord, Woman!

I believe that fabric and thing that she is wearing is something that came off of covering a manhole cover working under the street during the winter. There might be an accessory of a heater and she left at. Look around the city and there should be a missing heating tent for a manhole cover work crew. Not critiquing is not people equally Reverse Racism. If you want to be treated equally you have to be criticized equally as well.

S/He’s got one thing going in that outfit - it hides her Man Junk! ;)

[SubMareener]

That’s not a woman! That’s a man dressed like a woman.

That second picture sort of reminds me of...

There’s a LOT of under-girding going on there, all over that mass.

[tomkat]

What a hideously shameful embarrassment to this nation.

[Inspectorette]

Whoever designed that entire getup for her is NOT her fan!

The Left still oohing and aahing over The Mooch’s total lack of any fashion sense as if ‘she’ is a fashion maven. It’s a modern day version of “the Emperor has no clothes” except there are clothes, they are UGLY, ‘she’ looks atrocious, and no one in fashion/media/Leftist Land wants to admit/say it.

Hate the dress. I am sort of glad that those boots are in the world. They would look awesome on Melania.

[Huskrrrr]

Four grand for a tent?

She fell into yellow (and it wasn’t pretty!) to quote a famous movie.

It's what mid-70s movie directors thought 2018 would look like:

And yet despite the hideousness that we see, googling obama boots internet yields pages of references to how the internet died, swooned, broke, loved Mooch's outfit. An utter insanity that is incurable.

That outfit looks like a blanket stolen from the Playboy mansion; garish.

[ClearBlueSky]

Glitter on ugly don't help nothing. Might as well sprinkle rhinestones on fresh cat crap.
Oh- and how many 'underprivileged' and illegals could those thousands feed?
