Lingerie store sells Michelle Obama bra
The Hill ^ | 1/23/15 | Judy Kurtz

Posted on 01/24/2015 9:18:22 PM PST by Libloather

A “first lady” bra inspired by Michelle Obama is “flying out of” a Washington lingerie store.

The owner of Coup de Foudre Lingerie in the nation’s capital says that according to the bra’s Belgian manufacturer, PrimaDonna, the intimate apparel was “inspired by [Michelle Obama’s] sense of elegance and fashion.”

Kiersten Ballman, whose store has outfitted women in the District for the last 10 years, describes the royal blue, $146 bra as having a “specialized cup for fuller-busted women.”

After getting a shipment of more than 15 of the bras to her shop on Thursday, Ballman says she’s down to a stock of four. She has already ordered more, saying, “They came in yesterday and they’re flying right back out the door.”

When asked if customers are intrigued by the undergarment’s ode to Obama, Ballman replies even if the first lady connection is appealing, her clientele appear to be more drawn to the fit and style. “The color is amazing. That’s what first catches people’s eye. Washingtonians love blue.”

Ballman adds, “It’s offering support in a plunging silhouette in an amazing color.”

Each cup should be shaped like the White House since they both contain a boob.

"sense of elegance and fashion"...LOL

I will admit she has gotten much better at looking something like a first lady in the last couple of years instead of the clown suits she was wearing...

elegance ?...

Not a molecule of it in her body...

Would you give your sweetie a Mouchelle 0bama bra? “Here, sweety, I bought you a bra named after the first lady.”

My Bali bras cost about $35.00, no padding, well fitting for us larger busted women. And I’m no where as fat as the 1st woman, just over gifted. And I think that price is to high for even the Bali’s.

“Fuller-busted”? She’s small up there. Her backside, on the other hand. ..

She should have used American made duct tape for the strap down, not that cheap Chinese knock-off tape.

Of course, we poke at Aunt Esther, but she was at least a good Christian woman. Moochelle, not so much.
