According to the article I found this with, this dress is not ugly and yucchy and doesn't make muffin. It is sexy and stately, and we should all bow down to queen Michelle.

Maybe it wasn’t quite the equal of Versailles in the heydays of French monarchial extravagance. But the White House state dinner in honor of Mexico’s president certainly impressed the courtiers of the media. And why not? The gala social event did, after all, attract the top glitterati of Hollywood’s limousine liberal community.
And as if that weren’t more than sufficient cause to ooh and ahh, First Lady Michelle Obama made her regal entrance garbed in — the gawking, star-struck media chroniclers tell us — “a one-shouldered, sky-blue gown by designer Peter Soronen, cinched at the waist with a sparkly crystal-adorned belt.” For the occasion, her hubby was smartly decked out, of course, in a tux. Tables for the 200 guests were covered in triple-striped linens in “hues of Mayan blue,” and centerpieces were “handmade woven baskets gilded and filled with bouquets of fuchsia and purple gray roses, orchids, geranium foliage and prickly pear cactus.” The vittles were whipped up by guest chef Rick Bayless and included “Oregon Wagyu beef in Oaxacan black mole.”
You get the picture. No corn chips and dip out of the supermarket jar for this in-crowd. Meanwhile, President Obama and Mexico’s Felipe Calderone took a moment to offer appropriately supercilious remarks regarding the increasingly restless Tea Party peons in places like Arizona. They have turned to “potentially discriminatory” measures out of their “frustration,” said the president north of the border. This frustration apparently stems from their unschooled belief that their government ought to make at least a half-hearted effort at enforcing the nation’s immigration laws rather than ignoring these laws as a gesture of pandering to the growing Hispanic portion of the electorate.
The president south of the border subtly suggested that perhaps the Arizona ruffians’ judgment has been clouded by over-imbibing the firewater of bigotry.
You might have thought the president of Mexico would have had other concerns in the forefront of his mind besides an Arizona state law. With the nodding Obama serving as his amen corner, Calderone complained that there are divisive troublemakers in the United States who are bent on “criminalizing immigration.” Actually, it’s the United States that holds illegal immigration to be a misdemeanor and Mexico that holds illegal entry onto its soil to be a felony.
Before anybody could take exception to El Presidente’s point, however, it was time to be seated and dig into the “salad of jicama with oranges, grapefruit and pineapple citrus vinaigrette and the herb-green ceviche.”
What about the millions of destitute south of the border and the millions of unemployed or under-employed north of it?
As Marie Antoinette might have said had she been included on the guest list: “Let ’em eat tacos.”
I'll bet most of us have never had Wagyu (Kobe) beef in our lives. Dear Leader and Aunt Esther eat it like it's the Buck Double at Burger King.
I think I’m going to throw up!
Obama’s from Oaxacan??
And what to you mean by “never had”. Heck - there are only three words in that sentence that I know they mean!
This was funny
“ Dear Leader and Aunt Esther eat it like it’s the Buck Double at Burger King. “
but the 0dumbos insensitivity to the reality of America right now is sickening.
he is wasting our money and thumbing his nose at America
“the gawking, star-struck media chroniclers tell us — “a one-shouldered, sky-blue gown by designer Peter Soronen, cinched at the waist with a sparkly crystal-adorned belt.”
I saw her in the dress. She looked awful, and I’m not saying that because I disliked the woman. She looked awful.
Her skin muffined out over the top, the belt was her favorite classic “boob belt” (why does she insist on that yucchy belt?), and the goods in photos looked like electric blue hefty bags.
And the MSM oohing and aahing over it were disgusting. If Laura Bush wore that gown they would be snarky and mean about it.
nope....Kenya
cnn.com has a special report on her style and that tarp-dress and guess what? They love it.

Laura Bush said in an interview that they had to pay for their own food. However, this is a state dinner, so I’m sure the Obamas took advantage. I wonder if they Wagyu when they are paying for it.
A real president would have booted Calderon out of the country instead of feeding him. But we don’t have a real president.
I used to read a sportswriter name Skip Bayless in the Dallas area. I am sorry to hear he now is a short order cook in the whitehouse. I think I would have enjoyed Taco Bell better, considering the company...
You’ll meet a better class of people at Taco Bell around 2 AM.
Ouch - looks painful, especially in the overspill area. This is not flattering.
She is probably preggers and will have a partial birth abortion just for the demonic fun of it. She and her husband don’t consider the alive unborn as anything but tissue burdens.
