March 18, 2009 Michelle Obama's toned arms spark a trend
Dress designers and Michelle Obama have developed an obsession with toned biceps.
Is this a new kind of low-key status symbol, asks our Fashion Editor Lisa Armstrong
Who knew that when the faintest dimple on the mountain of Michelle Obama adulation manifested itself, it would be incurred by the First Lady's propensity to display her biceps?
It began, as barely perceptible dips in adulation (and concurrent spikes in envy) often do, when she appeared on the March cover of American Vogue. The accompanying gallery, in which the First Lady's fine arms were repeatedly on view, appears to have trampled on some venerable traditions - namely, that First Lady's arms should be seen but not bared.
And when they are on view, they should at least have the good grace to look slightly less buffed and slightly more reassuringly out of condition.
The unease arising from the rude health of Mrs O's muscles simmered into full-on snarkiness when The New York Times's Republican columnist David Brooks told fellow Times columnist Maureen Dowd that the time had come for Michelle to put away her arms. Was this the only powder in the Democrats' muskets, he asked.
And now comes news that Michelle is to star in a comic book.

That’s the pic that was in the linked article.
You’re right. She doesn’t really look that bad.
She looks like a lady.
YIKES! I hadn’t seen that one. NONE of those colors go together! Nothing fits well, and she is slouching.
Angry eyebrows....big teeth.....misshapen jaw.....big hips/butt.....bow legs......
Well it is her only attractive physical quality. Might as well work it, girl!
I think Shelli needs to slather her booty with Progesterone cream. It would definitely improve her disposition, and help her with hot flashes.
I’m with you. I never wear sleeveless, and my hot flashes can heat up the room.
All one has to do is be reminded of Madonna’s toned arms.
Yuck
Please help us. This is the worst styled First Lady ever. Even over Rosalyn Carter. Did you get a load of those shoes. Puke.
She is. Doesn’t really know who she is so I imagine she knocking around to find out. We already know; but I can’t say it.
LOL Wait until she gets those hot flashes.
Michelle O misinterprets the 2nd Amendment to be “the right to bare arms”.
LOL - loved this.... and then I started to think if this will be the only way to bear arms after His Highness is through, sniff sniff
And as I’ve said before, if she’s wearing sleevelees dresses in the WINTER what is she going to wear in the SUMMER???? I shudder to think.....
I can see the bikinis now -
Hey! I resemble that remark!! ;o)
What an odd expression on That One’s face when he’s looking at Michelle in that picture. I can’t tell if it’s veiled anger, or just smugness, but I’ve seen it several times on his face since he was inaugurated. He certainly doesn’t seem that happy to be there.
I guess what drives me nuts is that she is forever going to business functions wearing the sort of sweater set and slacks that I would wear shopping at someplace low rent like Target.
“Angry eyebrows....big teeth.....misshapen jaw.....big hips/butt.....bow legs......

LOL!! Aside from not agreeing with her ideology, I agree with those who have said that sleeveless in the middle of winter is tacky for someone who is supposed to be representing us as First Lady. Not to mention the gawd-awfullness of most of what she wears....
The right to bare arms...
What the H&#$??
Is this our First Lady? And she is wearing the inauguration sweater with this ensemble?
The world is LAUGHING at the US for more than one reason....
Baby, baby...
Where did our love go?
