What would Thanksgiving Day be without more gushing over the Obamas? The Washington Post on Thursday declared That Michelle Obama’s “departure from the East Wing signaled the end of a singular era for American fashion.” The piece by Robin Givhan contrasts with the writer’s bashing of the looks of conservative women such as Carly Fiorina, who she mocked as a “style bully.”

Regarding Mrs. Obama, Givhan fawned, “She helped young people see that fashion is more than catwalk extravaganzas and ‘Project Runway.’"

Melania wore a simple, gorgeous ivory-colored dress on election night.

She has taste and class. Shades of Jackie O.

Those boob belts make me cringe-I’m tall and slender and I like/wear wide belts-I thought they are supposed to be worn at my waist, not under my boobs-it looks like an empire waistline outfit gone wrong...

***What a bunch of fawning kiss asses.***

Reminds me of the entourage following Ruby Rhod in THE FIFTH ELEMENT.

I donno about that. Hillary could wear a Kirby vacuum cleaner bag as a coat and make it look like a vacuum cleaner bag!

They see no irony over gushing about a man masquerading as a woman being the recipient of all this fawning.

I'll agree that Michelle did make fashion fun. It's good to have girls putting on dresses to look pretty.

To say that focus on fashion will no longer exist when Melania replaces Michelle is weird. Melania does all that, only better.

It’s not just the fabric IMO, it’s her selection of what is appropriate for the wife of the President of the United States to wear. It would have been better for her to have an assortment of knee length dresses with matching jackets or coats in a solid color. You can never go wrong with plain, classic styles.

At least Trump will be able to get new drapes for the White House since Mooch used all the ones already there for clothing.

Tailored, classic styles suited Michelle O. She looked much better when she wore them.

If you love your boob belt, set it free. If it comes back it’s yours. If it doesn’t, it was never yours to begin with.

Thanks-I first heard it from my Brit neighbor-another FReeper on another thread said something like-Michelle looked like a hooker who passed out in a flower bed...
