Yes, more important things came out of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Wednesday (Jan. 27) night than what his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, was wearing. Still, Chris Matthews has the attention-grabbing, out-of-context statement "I forgot he was black" covered. And the American citizens are full of responses to his 70-minute speech that ranged from everything to the economy to health care, national security to getting rid of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. So, back to secondary things: What was Michelle wearing? A tasteful aubergine dress with three-quarter-length sleeves from designer Isaac Mizrahi.  But not from his Target collection.

I think he’s only on QVC now besides his eggplant couture line. :P

I just read on another thread that that little number cost $1850!! Yep, $1850...not $18.50 (which is what it’s worth, IMHO).

[bonfire]

I agree. Love the dress and her hair looks nice.

What’s wrong with being belted at her waistline?.

WOman who are pregnant or who have a fat belly sometimes wear their belt above the waist. Have they planned a birth before the fall election to support their numbers? After all “We’ve got ME/him...Think about having a mini ME!”

[Bahbah]

As for being pregnant, I don’t think so. I’ve seen a ton of pictures of her now and I just think she is misshapen and doesn’t have a waistline.

A ton of effort has gone into trying to disguise that fact.

I think Isaac may have copied someone else's desgn ;-)

Looks like M hates O as much as I do!

[hoosiermama]

Disquise....diet and exercise is more like it.

[prairiebreeze]

Someone else suggested she’s high-waisted, perhaps that’s the case. At least this belt more approaches what would be a waistline.

Perhaps she’d be better off without belts. ??

[Neverforget01]

Perhaps she’d be better off without belts.

Exactly! She can be statuesque without them. Billowing skirts and belts are not her friends!

Strange combination of colors. Looks like maroon on top and eggplant on the bottom. But the style of the dress is nice, and the maroon looks good on her.

[SuziQ]

I always want to put my knee between her shoulder blades, grab her shoulders.....and PULL.

LOL!

The boob belts haven't been abandoned. Dig this one with the garish gangster stripped pantsuit on Jan 26

Geeze her arms are long, she is short waisted with arms like an octopus. But, at least the belt is in the right place this time...and a couple of times lately, too. Maybe she finally paid attention to all the critical comments about her boob belts. After one year of her and Zero trying to do every crazy thing, it seems they have been toned down a bit in reaction to their failures.

Neither one of them has been successful...and Michelle has been the laziest, least accomplished wife of a president ever. Not a lasting accomplishment to her name after a year in the WH with the largest staff of any before her. She plants gardens, talks to school kids about being fat, chats with ladies, hands out dinners at food banks, but what has she started that is worthwhile? Nothing!

Just as she was before, and as Obama was before...totally unable to hold up to anyone's expectations. What a near-do-well pair.

I think some Obots have invaded this thread. Sure sounds like it.

[kitkat]

Photo Shopped! Even her upper arms are thinner. And we all know she doesn’t have that small a waist line.

[Albion Wilde]

I think she is very short waisted.

She really isn't. That's why all her clothes look so ill-proportioned. She wears the high waists to try to hide her massive butt, and she wears tight, small tops to suit her immature self-view as being little different from her middle-school daughters. She is a tall woman trying to wear "petites" sizing.
