The UK Daily Mail calls her the first lady of flamboyance.
The US media constantly compares her to Jackie Kennedy.
I report, you decide.

What was that strange orange snake working its way around the First Lady’s middle?
And the spotted plastic belt? Well, put it this way, her favourite Alaia studded one need not worry about the competition.
Lots of mortified people in the comment section…

Right now, there are some women and some men running out to get that shirt. I am sure we will see that shirt on HSN or QVC.

Please tell me that’s something the girls made for her and she (like a dad who gets a tie for his birthday) had no choice but to wear it.

They are WANNABE’S and amount to nothing.

I grieve how the lefties continue to treat the beautiful, spunky, sharp conservative PROFESSIONSL women. A part of me physically aches when I hear the hateful things said about Palin, Megyn, (even Palin’s 14 year old daughter), Carrie Prejean and the many others.
I hate this outfit of Michelle’s. It might have been a good idea, but it failed when it hit her big hips, just sayin’… I have to admit that some of the stuff designed for her is kinda neat. Edgy, creative, risky. Hey if she’s got the money to spend on this stuff — good for her. Somebody’s benefiting from her trickle-down economics. I’ve got no problem with it. I sort of even like her bare arms. Heck! I’m 57 and proud of my beautiful taned, well-shaped arms, and I bare them too. I have for years. My arms keep their shape because I work hard around this house. I work for a living.
What gets to me is the obsession (time spent and emphasis on) with the Obama’s on things that SHOULD NOT MATTER when we are in such a dreadful place economically and internationally. If the Obamas want to fly in pizza chefs, eye-brow designers, stay in Paris for fashion shopping and all — I really don’t give a rats ass. But in the face of how the hateful lefties have treated the many intelligent, beautiful, dedicated women of substance and character – I am totally disgusted.

Yeah, I’ve had it up to here with the Cult worship.
She has about a 50/50 hit and miss record with her outfits. Some are very nice, but just as often she wears something flamboyant and atrocious, or something that just isn’t flattering on her.
I think compared to other first ladies she falls very short, fashion wise.

Hee hee… I have a post about this, too… It looks like *somebody* got a new glue gun for Christmas…

She does, too. She bared ‘em right at me. But only for a day or so.
