The woman is ungainly in her height (which appears to be even taller than The One, at least in heels), and she’s built like a cardboard tube with legs. She has no waist. She also can’t seem to stand up straight. The white dress was Not A Success. If your’re going to wear a dress that depends on your having a eensy teensy wittle waist, well, you’d better actually HAVE a waist.
I was okay with the yellow dress this morning, except for the sparkly attached collar and all the beading. Now, I luuvs me some sparkles, and I have been known to wear beaded and even rhinestoned items during daylight, if I thought they were amusing or cute — but I did not have the eyes of the nation on me at the time. For a formal occasion *during the daytime,* such as an inauguration, the sparkly stuff was seriously, seriously inappropriate. (But why am I surprised? Everything that family does seems to be inappropriate in one way or another.)
Madame Obama needs to get a fashion adviser who (a) actually has an eye for fashion, (b) understands the meaning of “protocol,” and (c) is willing to tell The First Lady that she looks like a brick with legs in some outfits.
She is bowlegged, too.
Her stance and walk are not graceful. I attribute this to her bow legged affliction. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
