GLAMOUR 'FIRST'

By ANNIE KARNI

April 12, 2009 --

She's America's top "model."

Michelle Obama is the nation's first first lady to add a full-time makeup artist to her traveling entourage, according to stylists who have worked with presidential wives over the past 16 years.

Makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, helped create Obama's signature look on her inaugural trip to Europe last week.

Grimes-Miles, who has been working with the first lady for six years, now splits her time between DC and Chicago, where she dolls up morning-news anchors for WGN TV.

"No other first ladies have consistently traveled with a makeup artist," said hairdresser Bernard Portelli, who styled Hillary Rodham Clinton's blond mane in 1993 and tracks trends in first-lady style.

"It took Laura Bush four years to finally look good. It's taken Michelle Obama two months. She wears fake eyelashes that are beautiful. She can't do those herself."

None has ever been so much in need of it. At least now we know who is responsible for the drag queen eye lashes.

If her fees and travel are paid by the Obama’s I don’t care. If the taxpayer is paying, that is something quite else. Anyone know???

A few months ago there was this big flap about “lipstick on a pig”! Where is the outrage now?

Sure—keep trying, but you can’t make a purse out of a sows ear.

Good point. The liberals had a meltdown about Sarah Palin’s clothes, but they think that this image makeover stuff is ok for a good Democrat first lady.

Lipstick on a pig an all, I wonder what they’ll do next to cover up MO’s ugly soul.

"laura bush always looked good what the hell are they talking about."

Consider the source. Males in the fashion world aren't looking at women the same way as normal people.
