Michelle Obama hits Conde Nast Traveler cover
Conde nast Traveler ^ | April 8, 2010 | Lynn Sweet

Posted on 04/08/2010 2:42:26 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Mrs. Obama shares a few of the First Family's favorite Washington spots:

· The Newseum, D.C.'s most interactive museum: "High recommendations (from the kids). They love the Newseum."

· Monticello: "It is just incredibly beautiful, and that beautiful garden that he planted that is three times the size of anything that you'd ever do. It brings it to life, not just for my kids but for me."

· Luray Caverns: "Yes! We saw the egg. Barack was very jealous -- he's a Tour Guy."

· Blue Duck Tavern: The Obama's celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary at chef Brian McBride's cozy West End restaurant.

· Restaurant Nora: President Obama surprised Michelle for her 46th birthday at this farm-to-table restaurant.

· Good Stuff Eatery: Mrs. Obama's old-favorite burger joint. They've named a burger the "Michelle Melt" for Mrs. Obama (it's free-range turkey and local organic veggies).

· Bureau of Engraving and Printing: "We did the Bureau of Engraving (and Printing tour)."

· Freshfarm Market: "In this society today, sometimes it's hard to make regular meals, healthy meals, a part of everyone's existence."

That’s one of the nicest pictures I’ve ever seen of Michelle Obama.

But, all of her favorites concern food, or money.

I hope this silly magazine for the limousine liberals has an article about how to photoshop under difficult circumstances.

Now I can be as catty as anyone, but I think she looks great in this cover picture. I don’t know if it has been touched up, but she looks classy here. She’s not scowling. She’s not standing like she’s trying to cross a creek without bridge. Her dress is appropriate. There are no excess ruffles, or fringe, anywhere. No too-tight, misbuttoned cardigan. What’s not to like?

Look at those skinny arms. And that waist.

They photo-shopped about 50-75 lbs off of her.

Who do they think they’re kidding?

To hide the fact that her waist is just below her boobs?

Boy, airbrushing can take off a lot of bumps and rumps.

Name one woman who would not welcome a little airbrushing on her official photo, and former First lady, Barbara Bush, does not count!

After all, the old portrait artists did it all the time. There used to be itinerent artists who went from farm to farm with already painted portraits in their wagons. The lady of the house could choose one in a dress she liked, and the artist would paint in her face, collect his fee, and off to the next farm!

Monticello: "It is just incredibly beautiful, and that beautiful garden that he planted that is three times the size of anything that you'd ever do.

I wonder if she stopped to think that Jefferson's garden was planted and maintained by a huge contingent of slaves inherited from his father-in-law and his wife. And it was expected to feed the hosuehold, guests, and the huge contingent of slaves all year. No PDQ or 7-Eleven at Monticello!
