Somehow this reminds me of Danny Ortega, “man of the people and leader of the Sandinista people’s revolution” (did I really just say that?) when he visited the UN in 1985. And stops by a yuppie eyeglass boutique on the Upper East Side for a pair of $4000 eyeglasses. Leader of the common man. Riiiiight! A far lefty neighbor could not believe it when I showed that to him.

They know they are there for only one term. They are going all out to play the part of royalty. 3 parties a week, $40,000 a week vacations, hundreds of thousands on clothes....

The Obama's are not shy about lavishly spending exhorbitant amounts money on themselves in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression. Hey! Isn't today wagyu Wednesday?

LOL! BTW. I’ll bet you anything she doesn’t know how to pronounce it. I used to sell the line in the UK at a boutique. It was one of the favorite designers of gypsies. It became like ‘Burberry’ to the ‘Chavs’.

Finally, a bathrobe with fishing gear and worm pockets. It’s no wonder it costs so much.

“I hope nobody thinks that Michelle actually ‘bought’ any of this stuff.”
Since the designer announced it and showed the photo I suppose there’s the chance that they gave her the outfit. THAT boggles my mind, it does.

Thanks for the link to a year of Michelle's wardrobe choices. A few of those might have been shown more than once, but there must have been well over 100 different outfits, of which about 80% I would consider garish, ugly, or poor choices for her physique. And I wonder what the collective price tag would be for those outfits.
And yet we have the press fawning over her fashion style, and even making the outlandish claim that these clothes are inexpensive. If a Republican First Lady dressed like this, we would hear indignant condemnations of both the expense and the style. Further proof, as if we needed it, of the utter bias of the press.

3k? It looks like an oven mitt! It's all the rage in Vogue and Glamour for Wookies.
Somebody was ripped off for 3k and I'm thinking it's us taxpayers.

LOL
Sure ya do!
;0)
Mrs Obama is CLUELESS about fashion, and about what a statement she is making by wearing a coat with a price tag that could feed a family for awhile.
We hear you Ms Obama..and pretty soon, you and your idiot husband will hear from all of US!

Well, to be fair, we pay Obama like $400 grand a year plus free room, board and travel.
I’m sure they have tons of disposable income.

There are some women whose grace and carriage would make them look great in a Salvation Army find. And then there are others who put on an outrageously expensive outfit and look like they grabbed it from a thrift store bin.
To: kristinn
That’s a $63 coat with $2,700 of extra fugly.
