Michelle Obama Breaks Hearts With Final Vogue Cover As First Lady (photos - barf alert)
HuffPo ^ | 11/11/2016 | Jamie Feldman

It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.

To call Michelle Obama’s first lady farewell tour a roller coaster of emotions would be an understatement. There were the love letters in T Magazine, the relentless, passionate campaigning for Hillary Clinton and the rose gold chainmail Versace gown seen ‘round the world, to name a few.

Now, during a week when we could all use a bit of a pick-me-up, FLOTUS is back to kick us right in the feels all over again.

Looking ethereal in a white Carolina Herrera gown, she is, as usual, the epitome of elegance and grace. Aptly calling her America’s “Mother-in-Chief,” the story followed Obama in the months leading up to Election Day.

Of course now, the story, cover and Obama’s words, which went to print before the election, hold a completely new meaning post-election. Consider the way she describes her role as first lady ― a position that Vogue calls “surprisingly malleable, shaped by the personality, style and interests (or lack thereof) of the person occupying it.”

“I could have spent eight years doing anything, and at some level, it would have been fine,” Obama said. “I could have focused on flowers. I could have focused on decor. I could have focused on entertainment. Because any first lady, rightfully, gets to define her role. There’s no legislative authority; you’re not elected. And that’s a wonderful gift of freedom.”

Hard to tell where the WH piller leaves off and her derriere begins...

Imagine all that went into trying to make Mooch look good in those photos.

Melania doesn't even have to try.

That was pretty cruel and also ironic as Nancy Reagan was a fashion plate before she ever moved into the WH whereas Michelle Obama wore short shorts and tight pants showing panty lines.. UGH!

Does anyone else think she’s put on at least 100# since 2008? OK - how about 50# then?

I wish after 8 years they would put her in garments that fit. The seams look twisted and like they had to add side panels for her hips. That only exaggerates her hugeness.

[I’m reluctant to comment on her physical appearance.]

At my age, I don’t qualify as the most sexy man in the country either but everything about this (person) is totally manufactured and, therefore, a lie.

She isn’t hideously ugly. In terms of beauty on the 10 scale I would rate her a 6. Done up right maybe a 7. For the past 8 years her awful fashions have been shown here on FR. Her personality and politics are anathema to us here of course. I don’t think any of us will miss her.

Vogue: noun
the prevailing fashion or style at a particular time.
Just like go-go boots and leisure suits that time has passed.

one fact that is irrefutable even to liberals. There has been a big upgrade in the quality of first ladies.
