Michelle Obama, First Lady of fashion, celebrated in new book
NY Daily News ^ | 4/26/09 | Leah Chernikoff

As Michelle Obama nears her first 100 days as First Lady, a new book celebrates her fabulous fashion choices. “It’s her journey to the White House through the filter of her style,” says former fashion mag editor-in-chief Mandi Norwood, author of “Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion” (William Morrow, $19.99) out May 5, which chronicles Mrs. O’s signature looks — from the belted purple sheath dress she wore on the night her husband got the nomination, to the $148 White House/Black Market black-and-white print dress she bought off the rack.

Instead of dressing off the rack Michelle dresses off the bedroom floor—pick up this or that. Over on the chair is a belt, grab something out of the dirty laundry basket—who knows. She rarely looks pressed and neat. Some of those combinations are like something a color challenged four year old would put together.

"....to the $148 dress she bought off the rack."

That's nice, but why did the store have to leave the rack in it?

I searched high and low to find a picture of the writer who had the gaul to tell us Michelle's fashion choices were fabulous and now understand where it's coming from.

I don’t get her obsession with blues and greens together.

You mean you don't want to rush out and buy this lovely top?

Oh, how awful!

What about the jeweled “after five” yellow brocade dress she wore in the morning for the inauguration? With green shoes!

This woman is a fashion disaster.

even 67% of Republican women hold a favorable view of her!

Oh, please. The Chicago Tribune doesn't know any Republican women. They're making it up.

They try to spin it and shove this ugly shrew down our throats, but there is just NO way this thing will ever be considered ‘pretty’ or wear clothes well.
Her a$$ is so big it must have its own time zone, and what with the tree trunk thighs, bow legs and size 12 feet- not to mention the simian jaw (she could eat a pumpkin through a picket fence) IT’S HOPELESS.
