I like the sticky idea! we can get really creative with them! Thanks for the idea :)
I’m not going to snark at the first lady, she is going to be good for the fashion industry and she will raise the bar for a lot of girls looking for a role model.
The Bratz era of dressing little girls like slutz may finally come to a close. The Clintons admin made slutty cool, the Bushes were not allowed to have an influence on fashion. Michelle, with her two pretty girls are being made fashion icons and so far the look has been fairly classic (except for the black widow dress).
Let’s not let our desire to beat on the Obamas to waste an opportunity to use the classic and dignified image she wants to project to encourage other young women and girls to dress similarly.
JMO
Have seen that same look on her before...Like she’s always being “forced”...it’s an angry look...a personality trait???
Recovering Alcoholics should not go into bars and keep exposing themselves to a lifestyle they are trying to avoid.
The same goes for the Liberal media. The outcome of why we are where we are, are due to this ignorant support.

I had a dress similar to Michelle’s. I think it was 1965.
Defund the Left. Do not support pay-tv of any sort. You pay for the MSM channels even if you do not watch them.
NOTE the article in the lower right corner — praising “Queen Raina of Jordon.”
Ah, praising a lady who calls for the killing of all the Jews in Israel.
Birds of a feather. Obama & arab terrorists.
I don’t get a warm feeling from either of the Obamas.
She chose the only dress that was offered to her.
That’s funny what you say about covering a magazine at a check out stand. I thought I was the only one who did that.
She looks posed for a playboy cover and not as a first lady. Not very classy.
I disagree, first we going to see young white girls wearing colors that are wrong for them, but are cool.
Second, how is she a role model, she is a spoiled, bitter, and angry black woman, who if they didn't keep her on a short leash, would tell the world just what she really thinks about.
DOUBLE BARF!!!!
I was always stunned into silence when people would talk about the “beautiful” Condi Rice. I always thought WHAaaa?
