Why is Michelle Obama wearing false eyelashes? [These falsies were meant for drag-act divas]

Why is Michelle Obama wearing false eyelashes? These falsies were meant for drag-act divas and Mrs Obama seduced Europe with them. How do you get fantastic lashes? Michelle Obama's eyelashes Sarah Vine

I know, you're fed up with reading about Michelle Obama. But let me just tempt you towards one last, tiny detail: the First Lady's falsies. Michelle Obama is normally so natural looking, it's surprising to find something about her that is so unapologetically fake.

Those eyelashes weren't even trying to look real.

No, they were full-on, all-out diva lashes, the kind you normally find on D-list celebrities or in drag-act dressing rooms. The allure of the long lash is well-documented. They define and sexualise the gaze, making the eyes appear bigger (and therefore younger). Gazing up at someone through luscious lashes is considered an act of seduction; it's even entered the vernacular: “you batted your eyelashes at him”.

Given that Mrs Obama's intention was to seduce Europe, she chose those lashes well, making no attempt to conceal the artifice. She did not, for example, opt for lash extensions which give the most natural finish. These are bonded to the wearer's own lashes, a painstaking process that nevertheless yields fantastic results. You can choose various degrees of amplification, from just a few extra lashes to a full-on fan. Suzie Lung (tel 07957 771503) does a mean set, or try Vaishaly (020-7224 6088).

I’m one of the few alive , I guess, who really thought Rosalynn was hot. Always thought she could’ve done much better than Jimmah.

re Sorry to be so petty, but I really am sick of the MSM pushing this woman on me as an ICON of fashion and beauty.)))

That is absolutely why I enjoy these threads, and why I didn't join in to bash Hillary's appearance. Hillary is just an average-looking woman for her age and mileage. I have enough to dislike about her without the physical insults.

But we didn't have all these "fashionistas" trying, at the top of their lungs, to convince us that Hillary was gorgeous and chic and the new Jackie. Every magazine is attempting to do it, plaster her toned arms on every cover, and call that stuff she wears "elegant"---I resent the propagandizing.

Wow that was some website. I had heard about some of that stuff but never investigated it before. I did a websearch of Donald Young and Barry and there were several very interesting stories. I do think he might be homosexual,NTTAWWT(not that there’s anything wrong with that). That guy is just so deceitful. I hate liars. I think when he said “my muslim faith” accidentally in that interview, he told the truth by mistake. So many reasons he should not have been elected, yet so few voters who cared to know who he really is. I am close to his age and I hope to live long enough to see his lies exposed for all to see.

Thanks for this- it really does look like the people who provide advice on her attire are now working on her makeup. FYI- 50 years ago when I was modeling, we used the cheapo falsies- but we snipped them into tiny clumps of 2 or 3 lashes and glued them in individually. With a little patience- looks perfectly natural, even in closeups. But this type sends s different message- as in cheap floozy.
