Mercifully, Michelle Obama decides against nude tree lighting event (Hysterical! MUST READ!)

Here was the headline New York Magazine just ran, about the current First Lady at the Christmas tree lighting ceremony:

MICHELLE OBAMA WORE CLOTHES TO LIGHT THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Here’s a screen grab of the post because we’re sure they’ll scrub it:

We can only assume two things:

(1) The current First Lady intended to perform her duties at the ceremony nude, so wearing clothes was a news-worthy change.

(2) The bar has been set so low in terms of competence, decorum, and expectations that managing to wear clothes when going out in public is considered an accomplishment for her.

In either event, this makes us realize something that’s escaped us to this point: while the “outfits” Mrs. Utopia parades around in, from giant Playschool wrestling belts to furniture upholstery dresses, range from ridiculous to vulgar, at LEAST she’s wearing clothes. Things could, thus, be much, much worse in terms of what she wears out in public.

On this Saturday, please join us in thanks for small blessings.

The fact that she wore clothes, and was able to identify where the Christmas tree is located is a pretty good day at the office for her. ; )

LOL! Everyone should click through and read the very much deserved criticism of that awful outfit and her many other awful outfits!

And then, if you are tired of laughing and want to start groaning click through to NY Magazine’s site and check out their “michelle obama look book” under the fashion section and read the praise they heap on her.

Even if she had shown up at the event nude, she still would have worn the belt.

The woman is a walking billboard for bathroom wallpaper!

Thanks for sharing such a humorous write-up.

It was quite funny!

The article on the Hillbuzz link is a riot!

Good point in that she wore neon colors to a funeral and laying wreath on a Tomb, while she wears all black to the XMAS Tree lighting ceremony.

It’s better than anything her husband has accomplished.

Vastly more effective as a recurring Star Trek nemesis, as well. ;)

Hadn't seen that one.

Scared me too! ...sharing with friends and family.

The same FLOTUS who revels in mixing orange and blue and purple and yellow in color wheel collisions apparently has a problem with red and green, worn completely appropriately, at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

Is there a color scheme for Kwanzaa?

Complete with a holiday boob belt.
