The way the Associated Press is fawning over Michelle Obama and her supposed sense of fashion, you would almost think they were talking about Carla Bruni who really does dress quite elegantly and oozes glamor. To add to this absurdity, the AP also went out of its way to paint the Russian First Lady as frumpy. Um, advice to AP personnel; don't expect the Russians to go out of their way to help you in your stories in that country after that gratuitous slam on the wife of their president. First let us watch the AP's Catrina Stewart act dazzled over the "superstar glamor" of Michelle Obama:

MOSCOW (AP) - Michelle Obama brings her superstar glamor to Moscow this weekend as she accompanies her husband on his summit with the Russian president.

But the American first lady, who has wowed publics in the U.S. and Europe with her easy elegance and charm, will perhaps face a bigger challenge in winning over a Russian public that has scant respect for women who grab the limelight from their powerful husbands.

Oh yes, I'll get dressed up for the Commie Russians, but this is what I'll choose to entertain our troops at the White House on Independence Day:

Traveling is where those clear acrylic Boob Belts with the changeable color buckles come in so handy.

They keep your boobs up, your sweaters down and if you order in the next 10 minutes, we'll throw in our new "Toe-Away", camel-toe preventing panty liner.

[Roscoe Karns]

That's not mine (BTW, Michelle's wowing 'em in Russia)

[Miss Behave]

OK now that’s a sports bra with a biglady trousers sewn all up into it. Can’t fool me. I know biglady britches when I see ‘em.

[NewLand]

Do this dog make my azz look big?

Yeah baby...you needa license plate!

[GVnana]

What else could the AP do? Report on Obama’s failing diplomacy?

[Boiling Pots]

As CBS’s Jimmy the Greek would say...”well, he (she) came from a big slave, mating with another big slave.”

[Miss Behave]

The colored bucket assortment comes in a nice box with the belt—just like those interchangeable watch bezels from about twenty years ago. LOL.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

OMG!!
What is that in Michelle’s dress ?
Did Barry’s gerbil get loose ?

[Roscoe Karns]

Elegance on wheels:

[Migraine]

Mean Michelle is to glamor as dump truck is to Corvette.

[BARLF]

Mama in red

[Miss Behave]

The tighter she cinches those belts when there’s A LOT of fabric in the dress just makes her look fatter and more Snausaged into the belt. I wouldn’t want to stand within fifty feet of her should that thing give way. My dad told me the same about steel cabling when I was little.

[Deb]

That’s exactly what I thought of.

[Salvation]

Wearing the shower curtain again, Michelle?

Don’t you own a suit?

[Lizavetta]

I know it's not yours. I said it could be one of yours, it's so good.

Is that a pillbox hat on Aunt Esther's head?

[freeperkiki]

Good grief...has this woman ever been told about Spanx? If ever anyone needed a pair, it’s her! And I’m talking about the pair that holds it in from under the bra to way below the leg!

[Miss Behave]

WTF in our HISTORICAL White House? Would they do the same inside ANY other historical house/museum/whatever? NO respect, NO class, NO sense of appropriateness/education.

[Salvation]

I like the white suit. Too bad Michelle doesn’t own a suit.
