The Huffington Post has a photo-illustrated article about the visit today by Michelle Antoinette Obama to Ronda, Spain, headlined: Michelle Obama Does Midday Shoe Change in Ronda (PHOTOS).
The photos used for the Huffington Post article can't be used at FR as they are from Getty Images, however, other wire photos (with less detail) are available for posting.
In the meantime, here are the lyrics to Michelle Obama's theme song, Pearls, by Sade:
there is a woman in somalia
scraping for pearls on the roadside
there`s a force stronger than nature
keeps her will alive
this is how she`s dying
she`s dying to survive
don`t know what she`s made of
i would like to be that brave
she cries to the heaven above
there is a stone in my heart
she lives a life she didn`t choose
and it hurts like brand-new shoes
hurts like brand-new shoes
there is a woman in somalia
the sun gives her no mercy
the same sky we lay under
burns her to the bone
long as afternoon shadows
it`s gonna take her to get home
each grain carefully wrapped up
pearls for her little girl
hallelujah
hallelujah
she cries to the heaven above
there is a stone in my heart
she lives in a world she didn`t choose
and it hurts like brand-new shoes
hurts like brand-new shoes

FYI.
She changed her footwear. Wow. I’m impressed.
Too bad we didn’t get a close up shot of her feet.
I really want to know if she has six toes.
I think shoes are just a way for her to hide her hooves.
We should be thankful she wasn’t barefoot.
"shoe change...????...what she do, throw one?"
Perhaps these threads will acquire the WARNING! GRAPHIC IMAGES! tag that retired with Helen Thomas.
Although it is interesting that HuffPost covered this, the idea that a woman switches from dress shoes to sneakers when doing some walking isnt' that big of deal.
She looks preggers. October Surprise?

Michelle Fashion Police Alert Ping!
FReepmail GOP_Lady if you want on or off this ping list
I’ve tried on some tops like that and rejected them when they looked like a maternity top. On her it looks like a maternity top.

“She looks preggers. October Surprise?”
More likely just poor taste in clothing. Awful blouse for her to wear.
The ghetto wookie continues to play while the economy burns.
the first wookie would be a more appropriate title for her, since she certainly is no lady.
Must be the shoes were causing the Wookie’s corns to hurt.
New turkey baster at the White House? That shirt looks expandable...
