All the fashion magazines and pundits swooned over Michelle. Most beautiful girl in the world. Best dressed woman in the universe.
But I always thought she was a pretty ugly looking critter. For one thing, she almost always looks angry, her expressions are ugly, she she wears some truly horrible looking clothes, usually unfit for the occasion.
For instance, at that recent civil rights funeral, there she was sitting in a church pew in a short dress, with her bare legs and knobby-looking knees sticking out. At a funeral?
Evidently the ladies who buy this kind of very expensive clothes thought the same thing. I don’t think it ever really took off—just in the imaginations of all those insane style magazine writers.
I don't think the bug-eyed look has ever really caught on, here or anywhere else.
