I come from a family with some very tall men and women in it, many of whom are quite striking.

Michelle Obama is very tall, and fairly large boned. There are lots of women who are approximately the same size as she is. Her problem is not her size, it is the clothes she chooses to wear.

True, that.

I have always been uncomfortable with snark about Michelle Obama's looks, as she is what she is... and she strikes me as pretty average in the larger scheme of things. What she chooses to wear is a whole different matter- much of it has been simply bad or completely inappropriate for her body type.

In the end, she could look like hell or be a radiant vision of beauty and it wouldn't matter one iota, because she is - according to sources who I consider reliable and who know her - a rather difficult and self-entitled woman.

Curiously enough, both Michelle Obama and Melania Trump are the same height, 5'11".
