I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that your tax dollars are being spent wisely by Michele Obama. She has deep sixed her regular fashion expert and hired someone who is now drawing a government salary in the White House.

.....Koop is employed by the White House. It may be "unfashionable" to ask, but why does the First Lady need a taxpayer funded fashion consultant?

The first one was like the CIA, didn't know what they were doing.

Because Rick, despite the massive amounts she spends flying off to Europe on shopping trips with her daughter, have you noticed the Salvation Army chic she walks around in?

Nice to know that while the subjects are being thrown out of homes and jobs we have a paid "first fashion consultant". Marie Antoinette had nothing on Moochell.

I would recommend Levi Strauss, well known tent makers that would be easy to get along with.

Michelle Obama says Ikram Goldman is still her top style advisor

New York, Feb 10: First Lady Michelle Obama has said that she will not part ways with her stylist Ikram Goldman, despite the recent fashion controversy.

Mrs Obama was recently criticized over her choice to wear a gown by British designer Alexander McQueen to a state dinner with China President Hu Jintao.

Goldman, a Chicago boutique owner, has been helping Obama select her outfits since President Obama was inaugurated in 2009. She has been responsible for her many edgy looks, from her dresses from little-known designers like Thakoon to her unusual jewelry selections.

Mrs Obama told the Washington Post that she likes to wear American designers but is not above branching out across the Atlantic or the Pacific for a well-chosen look.

The factors that affect her style are the occasion and the weather.

“My decisions aren’t so complex. It’s really just sort of: ‘How cold is it? Do I have to stand outside?’ and ‘What am I going to use to cover my arms if I’m freezing so I’m not shivering while I have to give a speech?’ It’s really stuff like that,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

If they did then some homosexual at that magazine needs to get his glasses checked. In any pictures I've seen she looks like the coming attractions for What Not to Wear. It seems that when she's overseas supposedly representing our country, she makes herself look especially hideous.
