Her taste for restrained elegance has earned her the title of First Lady of Fashion.

But Michelle Obama clearly felt something rather more outlandish was in order for a sightseeing trip in London yesterday.

On a visit to Westminster Abbey she wore a trendy colourful tunic embellished with ribbons and fabric flowers.

That is one stupid looking piece of something.

Beyond the disaster of this choice; if Oprah's body had not been photoshopped; it appears that the 'good life' is getting the 'best' of Michelle.

Tunic? It looks like a party apron and she has a yellow cardigan and it is too small for her like the others. This woman needs help.

On the upside; I look at this picture and hear jidoco music.) This is one unhappy woman; but then; she told us that. . .but looks like a heap more suffering coming her way.

I agree. Hillary has her figure flaws as most of us do. That said, she wore tasteful pants suits and jewelery.

You're right...

Think this falls somewhere between 'stiff upper lip' and English humor.

Imagine if Sarah Palin showed up ANYywhere. . .like this.

I can understand the two sweaters, I've been in England all week and it's been freezing!!!! I've been wearing two sweaters too. Frankly, in London, anything goes fashion wise. It's definitely a people watcher's paradise. I do not understand her belts.

Well; most travelers, have to 'travel lite'; but in Michelle's case; she can bring the 'whatevers' and never worry about it. . .

As an 'official wife'; rather than 'two' sweaters (despite here fondness for them) she could be wearing a 'coat'! - or a jacket!- or a suit/with either or both! (A long coat would have saved the day; and the pain and suffering it seems her security entourage is experiencing; particularly the man behind her. . .)

Michelle is inviting ridicule; and for Obama; this is surely, too close for comfort, for a man who works as hard as does Obama on his image.

(Wonder if Obama has Drudge blocked on HIS computer; as does the State Department block Drudge on theirs. . .)

That said; am beginning to think 'sweaters' are Michelle's security blanket. . .bet Mom even 'doubled her up' as a child. . .

There's no id for the woman in the car with Michelle. Makes me wonder how many friends and family went along on our dime.

The only difference between this hideous Nation of islum loving beast of burdens fashion sense and the communist crypto-muslim HUSSEIN BARAKAS economic “policy” is that the insane and devastating results of her fashion sense are immediately apparent.

I was just thinking that...perhaps the greatest critique of all: It makes her look really chunky and her thighs look massive...that could not have been the goal right?

It’s not her physical appearance that is relevant to me.

It is the quality of what is inside her head. I perceive a racist mentality, a socialist, and a quest for power over others. The seeds of tyranny are there. A press who adulates her and the Kenyan add to the tragedy.

Don’t know; but as Michelle attempts to ‘out Oprah’, Oprah; can hear Oprah whistleing through her teeth. . .’baby girl’ you need more than a ‘hand mirror’. . .
