Like millions of their fellow Americans, the First Family often gathers around the television on Sunday nights to watch ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team create livable homes for families in need. Such a fan of the show, First Lady Michelle Obama couldn't resist jumping in and helping out on the Sept. 25 season premiere.
"This particular show is especially moving because it features Barbara Marshall, a Navy veteran, who despite her own struggles opened her home to serve homeless female veterans in her community," Obama tells PEOPLE. "She's an amazing example of the strength, values and service of America's veterans."

Fashion nightmare indeed! WHAT does this woman have against sleeves?

Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!

It's not the "gay term". It's the seamstress/sewist term, the one used in the business of fabrics and decorating; however, since "he" is putting them up you may be correct. ;)
So the boob belt is pleated and now called a “corset.” The only nice thing I can say is at least she put on one of her wigs and isn’t showing off her armpits, her back, her chest, etc. So much bling with combination of the sparkly skirt, 40 bracelets and necklace. The top looks like a long sleeved cotton t-shirt and you can see the outline of her bra. Tacky.
One of the other major problems with making these homes so big is that the property values go up. That means increased property taxes that the homeowner can't afford as well as the increase in monthly electric (etc.) bills.
;)
Still, the modality of complaint seems to be that the owners attempt to live off the houses by mortgaging and re-mortgaging.
Doesn't the mortgage banker bear part of that blame?
BTW, I think Michelle looks pretty good in all these pictures. And I have been as critical as anyone over her appearance these past 3 years. Is anyone serious that she should wear a wig when working outdoors in the summer heat? Really? Would you?
I clicked on this thread because I thought she was going to look dreadful in that sparkly skirt, but I was pleasantly surprised, and the "corset" belt is stunning on her. Until tomorrow and she appears in something gawdawfuul, I think she's finally found her style. I hate the Bounty dress, however. THe rest of it is pretty good.
I just came home from Church, so I guess I'm a bit "off" my insult game. LOL. Or, Lord, have mercy!
I admit she looks pretty good at the CBC dinner. My complaints are with the CBC and 0’s remarks, but I digress ... ;)

Obama Tells Congressional Black Caucus To ‘Stop Grumbling’

As regards the mortgage banks, well they are cronies to the statist and corrupt pol like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, ranking dreaded lobbyist operators like the Daschles and Jamie Gorelick and the Black Oligarchy that seems to run Fannie and Freddie, many urban cities and to which Michelle her awkwardness is tightly cleaved.
She’s also a vacation whore, a clothes whore and a lobster whore. Lots more whores I can call her but since it’s Sunday, I’ll go easy on Big Mo.
When this day comes, then and only then will I maybe stop making fun of that b*tchy beast.
Most likely a Paulbot. Hated Bush, hates Limbaugh, past posts all point to him being a Ron Paul fan.
Typical. These types never appreciate what is done for them.
