Where was the “Barf” alert? (Now I gotta clean up.)
There are many beautiful black women, she ain’t one of them.
Great idea, I’m gonna start doing that!!
I dont like to mock people for their looks, but this “Michelle Obama is beautiful” crap is really getting ridiculous.
I doubt if McCain got elected, Vogue, People, etc would be praising Cindy , who is a true MILF..and they damn sure wouldnt be praising Sarah Palin’s looks.
Not all white girls look bad in bright or jewel colors. In fact not all white girls have light skin, many are tawny, others are freckled.
Color is the least of the problem and would be a huge improvement over grunge denim. Michelle, in pursuit of the Jackie mythology will put class, dignity and ladylike demureness back at the center forefront of the fashion industry. The Obama’s will probably not be wearing buttcrack revealing hiphuggers or baggies in public and they might inspire those currently dressing ghetto to instead dress professional. Would that be a bad thing?
(and I can’t help but wonder how much fashion knowledge an ID like razorback-bert actually has)
Oink!
Good grief! That woman could eat a carrot through a picket fence.
I don’t see Condi as beautiful but she is elegant and very stylish. She looks great in her fashion choices.
Lauren is beautiful! So is Angelina Jolie.
Ok agreed, and the common denominator is non of these hotties are politicians!
Having an ex, who shopped NM and Saks, one learns a lot.
Plus having lived in NYC and Houston and dated fashion models gives one a world of experience too.
Many of us are not hillybillys, but HillWilliams.
You’re too much!!!!!
I managed to scribble on Obama’s face yesterday while waiting in line at Weis. I had a pen because I was writing a check. It is stress relief.
You should have gave him glasses, and cross on his forehead and joint in his mouth!!!!!
Next time I will!
Condi (as well as Laura Bush) has an elegant classy beauty that Michelle doesn’t come close to having.
