From the "OMG what is she wearing now?" files, Michelle Obama does it again; she managed to escape her handlers wearing yet another fashion atrocity.
One bad outfit you can forgive. But three, each worn to a major event, well, that starts to be more of a fashion statement - and the statement Michelle Obama is trying to make speaks volumes. Very, very loud volumes.
Lets recap:
Election night dress.

This is the dress that started it all. This horrid little number by Narciso Rodriguez was certainly eye-popping. Perhaps no one noticed that it made the new first lady look like a giant black widow spider. The addition of a cardigan to this busy, contemporary mess of a frock, was akin to putting a pashmina shawl over your cutoffs - it just didn't make sense.
The Inaugral Ball gown by Jason Wu.

At first glance this dress seemed okay, but after a few minutes of considering this feathery creation, it dawned on me how cheap and weird a one strap feathery prom gown looked on the first lady. It also finalized, at least for me, the notion that her figure might be part of the problem. All her dresses seem to fit oddly, which I suppose she can't help. You would think however, that would dictate to her or at least her handlers, that better choices were in order.
Don't Get me wrong, her figure isn't bad and lord knows I am not one to criticize anyone's figure for sure. Its just that her clothing choices don't seem to accentuate the positive. Even Hillary, no figure model herself, managed to pull off a sense of style and if she could do it, Michelle has no excuse.
The National Cathedral prayer service dress.

For those of you who missed it, Michelle turned out in yet another glaring example of her um,. fashion sense. Let me try to describe; a gray, or maybe shades of green, giant, contemporary and floral print, a-line dress that from a distance (especially on TV) looked as if someone spayed our first lady with globs of paint.
The sheer number of adjectives needed to describe this dress should tell you it is pretty awful. Heard from the sidelines; "Where is the secret service? Someone has assaulted the first lady!" I can't imagine who suggested this outfit, or rather, who didn't pipe up and tell Michelle that maybe she shouldn't. I can't imagine anyone thinking this was a good idea.
Michelle has made many more fashion choices that are worthy of comment. I won't even go into the yellow lace suit with mis-matched shades of green gloves, shoes and a red handbag.
I have seen some commentary in the fashion rags about how Michelle is attempting to copy the style of Jackie O. Yeah. Perhaps they meant to say that she is attempting to interpret Jackie's style. Maybe its art, who knows. One thing is certain; Michelle O is not Jackie O. The only thing they do have in common is that much like her purported fashion role model she is certainly managing to define her own signature style.
Let hope for her sake that history neglects to note that this first lady was one feather headdress away from dressing like Cher circa 1972.
‘chele obozo is basically an ugly woman. She’s pidgeon-toed and her hips are huge with enough space inbetween that a freight train could run through her legs and not touch either side (all right I’m exaggerating but you get the point). With mainstream media continuing its love fest with the obozos, read the BARF http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28768077/, the article points out “The dress followed her curves — paying special attention to the hips —” because the woman has huge hips.
It will be by the time lady freepers get through with them. The libs never let up on the Bush family. Fasten your seatbelt, it's payback.
We should be having a discussion about Mrs. Obama's beliefs and actions, not her choice of clothes.
Isn't there a fashion board you can post this stuff on? It's just not a good fit for FR.
‘’I saw it in the window,’’ she cooed, ‘’and I just couldn’t resist it!’’
Okay, the ball gown looks like a sari made out of a chenille bedspread. Scarlett O’hara did a better job with the velvet curtains. So what? Michelle Obama’s fashion sense is a non-issue in terms of what we’re facing. Why attack her taste or her attractiveness? Why should conservatives indulge in personal attacks?
People noticed. They all had to apologize for noticing. Black widow spiders are racist you know.
The clothes suck. Have you seen the Obamas wedding photos? She CAN look nice. These clothes she’s been wearing are a disaster. They do NOT suit her frame. And they look like thrift store togs.
And yet you clicked on the thread. I have never understood people that open a thread only to complain about it's being posted.
Poor bambi, all squished in my his broadbeamed wifey, the bigmouth bass, er biden, and bubba.
I once read that Abraham Lincoln’s wife, Mary Todd, was the ugliest first lady in our nation’s history. So, as BHO continues down the Lincolnesque path, he can claim yet another point of similarity...
The poor woman is built like a 9 foot tall Liza Minnelli with bow legs. That is a seriously bad figure. But I've learned on What Not to Wear that even a bad figure can be dressed well. Michelle needs a fashion intervention!
I certainly hope not. Why would we want to sink to their level? How childish and hypocritical would that be?!
Looked like $20.00 worth of Charmin with knots to look like flowers(?) tied up nicely with a strap.
Seriously, her designer is playing a cruel joke on her.
And what's wrong with a nice black suit for the Cathedral bash?
When I saw that white dress, I immediately thought (Animal House) TOGA!
Maybe not but it will certainly be a bright spot in the next 4 years.
In all honesty, they never let up on the Bush family. I rather like the idea of serving them their own brand of "medicine".
