Michelle Obama may be our best-dressed FLOTUS yet, but did you know she once was denied the "Best Camper" award because she swore too much?
That's just one of the surprising discoveries from biographer Peter Slevin's new book about our current First Lady, Michelle Obama: A Life, out April 7.

"At Harvard," writes Slevin, "one beau was law student Stanley Stocker-Edwards, the adopted son of singer Patti LaBelle. Nothing lasted. [Michelle] said later, 'My family swore I would never find a man that would put up with me.'"
2. She handled marketing for Coors beer and Barney the dinosaur

I’m looking for the album cover from the 1980’s with the bands hands in fish.
Thought it was “They might be Giants” or the “Violent Femmes”
I figure you would know.
Surprising discoveries? Michelle is an ill-tempered, frustrated, bored, foul mouthed, hardheaded, racist, crazy spender, quitter, bitch who had a live-in boyfriend.
Is she wearing the shower curtains?
The only thing she did right was #9.
Great handbags,
.
Looks like the best dressed toilets share the same tailor.
Do I have to read this?
I'd rather take Castor oil.

... I just can't read or believe anything written after that first line
Aw, come on, she looked absolutely smashing in that dress thing she wore to Japan. Floral Camo all the way. Those size 16 silver shoes, the no sox... hey the babe's got Klass with a Kapital "K"!" Come on Baby! Show them shorty-pants Japs they should never have bombed Pearl Bailey!
And ...You are ignoring the point of the whole visit. It was a Godzilla-Fest. Too damn bad Michelle can't play tennis, she could easily be the #3 Williams Sister.
Bed, Bath, and Beyond probably has better prices.
