Funny, you don't hear as much about her butt, and that's pretty huge!

[retrokitten]

She has one...this is not a joke.

I heard, long ago, that America would vote in a black man when pigs flew. I disagreed. But 100 days into his presidency, swine flu. Who’d’a figured’?

[wideminded]

My $0.02:

Bruni and especially Letizia look anorexic IMHO.

Brown looks pretty good, although her skirt might be a little too tight and I'm not sure about that tail thing.

Aside from occasional drapery looking things, Michelle is actually doing pretty well in finding a style that fits her somewhat awkward body.

[mockingbyrd]

I agree, that’s one of the nicest looks I’ve seen her in.

[goodnesswins]

I SAID I like the DRESS!!!! (Not the person!) :>)

[retrokitten]

If she was Sarah Palin she’d be burned at the stake.

If she were ANYONE else. But because she's O's wife, she gets a pass.

If she's such a fashion plate, why is NO ONE else wearing these hideous clothes???

[mockingbyrd]

And right there is why so many women hate Sarah Palin. 45, 5 kids and smoking hot. I hope I look like that 15 years from now.

[retrokitten]

I agree. That one actually is probably the best we’ve seen her lately.

I guess I’m in the minority, but I don’t think she’s hideous or fat.

Her clothes and attitude, however, are a *completely* different story.

Michelle Obama is an embarrassment as a First Lady.

...There’s no type of standards and more than one person can use the PING list. Thanks! :-)

+++++++++++++

You got that right. There are no standards when it comes to Michelle and her wardrobe.

Did anyone see what she wore out on her date night last evening to the posh Georgetown restaurant. Another disaster.

“I have yet to understand why she spends all that money on the crap she wears only to look like she shopped at the thrift store.
That said to anyone who cares to emulate her...Her “style” will work best for those who have the size and grace of a moose and clown shoe feet.”

LOL!! But wait! Bet we are soon to see a new fashion magazine by MOOshell (with first issue featuring footwear) titled: “Most Beautiful Firs Lady Fashions”! :)

It’s gotta be the shoes for Michelle Obama

Was it this?

[Freedom56v2]

I agree. I think the issue most irritating to me is how the media keeps hyping her—it is like the media (all of it) has become one big public relations committee for the first couple and their administration. I wish they would just call things like they are—sometimes she looks good, sometimes(well most times) not. But instead, like with all the socialist policies, they ignore the negatives or try to act like negatives are positive. It is sickenning & I for one am tired and it has only been 100 (I kknow this gecause of the huge hoopla in media) + 4 days.

Well actually longer because the media has been hyping the first couple’s attire, family, etc. since well before election day.

Somewhere I read that Jill's shoes cost less than half of MO's.

[maggief]

What is she dragging? TP?

[GOP_Lady]

Excellent! Thank you!

It's up to all of you Fashionistas — even when I'm here.
