Michelle Obama releasing style book after her looks were ‘constantly dissected’ in White House

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is releasing a book looking back at her favorite fashion and style moments over the years.

Obama said she wanted to write the beauty book, titled “The Look,” to “reclaim” her story after her looks were scrutinized during her time in the White House.

“During our family’s time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled,” she wrote in an Instagram announcement.

“For a while now, I’ve been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way. I’m thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned along the way,” she added.

The $50 book, to be released on November 4, features more than 200 photographs of the former first lady, including never-before-published images, according to publisher Crown Publishing Group.

Obama said the book will give readers a behind-the-scenes look at her most memorable looks and the meaningful moments that accompanied them. It will also introduce readers to her style team from over the years.

“The Look is about more than fashion. It’s about confidence. It’s about identity. It’s about the power of authenticity,” Obama said in her social media announcement. “My hope is that this book sparks conversation and reflection about the ways we see ourselves — and the way our society defines beauty.”

Obama has spoken out before about her style being scrutinized during her time in the White House.

Could that be a medical device worn under the clothing, perhaps?

Depends...

Poor victim.

Like they don’t do it to EVERY First Lady.

And Melania is a supermodel.

Moochelle is a big bone girl that stands 5’11”. Too tall to get many dates, until white knight Barack O came along. She is seething at getting so much non-respect, until she married Obammy, getting on his train to infamy and racism.

She and her hair looked better when she was getting it straightened and processed. The way Jasmine Crockett does. Now she has it bundled into an African noir mess. She been a gym rat for a few years, in her self-improvement efforts.
She can whip Obammy in a free style fight.

Try to get that out of your mind and go to sleep.

"Mooch is going bald in the front from pulling her hair back so severely. Into some kind of war between cornrows and dreadlocks. Clown is worth 30 million and is still unhappy. She needs an intervention by her loved ones, then bundling her off to an elite rehab or funny farm."

So true. She's mentally ill, and on top of that, she married a down-low. Marxists, particular women, age poorly physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Nihilism, over time, will beat you up like Ali on Frazier.

"Isn’t this his 2nd? 3rd? book since leaving office?"

At least. Soon to show up on the shelves of Dollar Tree.

"Locking down USAID made a big difference?"

So give him the Medal of Freedom or something. Musk was never going to be a permanent part of the Trump Administration. That was made clear from the beginning. He had already announced he was leaving at the end of the month before his hissy fit. The fact that President Trump says he is done with Musk is fine with me. He did the job he was asked or offered to do. Job done. It's now the job of Congress to take what was given to them, and do something with it, but of course there's guarantees on that though.

Big Mike's boob bounce is fake just like Meghan Markle's baby bump.

Honestly, she acts like she is the only First Lady who had comments about her "look". I remember Laura Bush being criticized for the first dress she wore to the Inaugeral (sp?) Ball. I thought she looked fine; but the bitches who run NY Fashion just unloaded on her.

Then, there is Melania, who never put a foot wrong in the way she dressed; and, was completely ignored.

And, then DR. Jill, who always looked frumpy and wore some of the most outrageously awful dresses. Yet, she got a cover on one of the fashion magazines. How?

Anyway, Big Mike has nothing to complain about. Comments on the First Lady's appearance is part of the job.

I am an actual female; but, when I started going thru menopause, my hair started to fall out. My hair is (was) baby fine and I didn't have a lot of it, so when it started leaving, I got, what could be called, male pattern baldness. I do wear a wig; and when I first went to the shop that had a collection of wigs, I was surprised to see how many Asian females were in there getting wigs.

When I look at Big Mike, what I see is a very muscular "female", who looks more male -- and as he/she ages, I think she/he is looking more masculine.

It’s too late to tell people their eyes lied to them, Mooch.

The second one appears to be from the Jill Biden picnic tablecloth collection.

(Regarding the shimmering, peachy-gold tone dress Mike’s wearing while his left arm is around a person in a black-and-white dress)

What Mooch is wearing is apparently working hard to make his hips look more typical of the feminine form.
