Remember, her handlers only had about 6 months to made a 'silk purse' out of a 'sows ear'.
Xena’s Mom could have fixed the posture problem in one week. When we were growing up, Mom would prowl around us at the dinner table with a fork in her hand, and if one of us slouched, she’d run the fork tines down our spine.
OUCH.
And that, kids, is why I have impeccable posture. It only took two forkings (and the realization that if a woman stands with shoulders back, her chest looks bigger).
I’m reluctant to rag on Michelle, because she obviously has multiple problems with fashion related to her build. Plus she simply has no grace.
She looked best by far in the simple, long sleeved, solid color dresses and suits she wore on occasion during the campaign. She could learn to keep her shoulders back and perfect her lumbering walk with arms swinging.
I have a feeling she also enjoys good food and I can relate to that. She’ll never be model skinny and that’s a good thing.
Both she and Obama are much better looking when they smile.
Learned behavior from her teen years, I suspect. She was probably close to her final height when she was in Junior High, and guys didn't usually go for girls who were taller than they. Girls tend to slump in those instances, and it takes some work to get over that habit.
