...So, how did a mere assistant win the coveted role of Michelle Obama's dresser in chief?

Koop used to work for Goldman – she was sent to Washington to work closely with the First Lady to see to her day-to-day wardrobe needs.

Now it seems that Koop is in and Goldman is out...

The Obamas must be getting desperate to appear normal now. The UK's DailyMail.com teased this story in early February:

Is this Michelle Obama's stylist? The White House aide rumoured to be First Lady's unofficial fashion advisor

Here are the two ladies, for comparison: Ikram Goldman on the left (with unknown), and Meredith Koop on the right (leaving the White House with Reggie Love):

Ping!

I don’t think a new stylist is going to be able to hide that caboose.

Goodbye, boob belt!

I’m no fashion maven, myself, but both of those “stylists” look awfully frumpy, to me.

[Palladin]

Neither one is very attractive, nor are their designs.

Perfect! Now we can add a new name to the list of unnecessary people the Queen Mum has hired. Personally, I could give a rat’s a$$ what she does with her hair or anything else.

Here's Moochelle's new look...

David Copperfield couldn’t make Michelle’s bus-sized rear disappear.

Well, she can’t do much worse.

There’s a boob belt under the bus!

I sure hope she keeps the Walmart look. I suspect that she will.

Those are 3 badly dressed women! No wonder Michelle O doesn’t look so good.

Getting ready for the campaign trail? Better frocks won't hide her hatred for this country! Sorry, her facial expressions tell it all.

Unless the new designer is going to make masks for her to wear in public! Possibly her designer should talk to the one who made them for Michael Jackson's kids!

Too much junk in the trunk, too much junk in the trunk, I feel a song coming on!!!

Wonder how many colors one can come up when you mix and match tarps?.

Unless she has access to a super-charged magic wand, she’s just attempting to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Dang, I had some old curtains I was hoping to get rid of.

The liberals tried desperately to make Barbara Bush seem like a fat lard. She was hefty but not a fat lard. Michelle probably would make herself look better if she wore the correct clothes. We can always thank God in Heaven that the Hucksters aren’t President. Now that would be two ton family for sure.
